Carl Froch vs. Mikkel Kessler: who will win?

[incredibleman]

As bad as they looked in their last fight, I might be leaning towards Froch winning the actual fight. But since it might be in Denmark, they might give it to Kessler by decision.

[deadbeat hero]

This tournament is in need of a great fight, the first round of fights were enjoyable enough but not edge of the seat stuff by any means. Realistically, I think Froch/Kessler is the best chance we've got of a real humdinger that is going to live long in the memory.

I think the fight is too close to call, but I just have a sneaky feeling about Froch. He's the kind of **** that will pull this **** off.

[Shattered Jaw]

People would still pick Taylor to beat Froch in a rematch? What a joke. That fight was close on press row going to the last round and a SD on the judges cards. Not only that but Froch literally beat Jermain around the ring for 2.5 mins, stalked him like an animal and just brutalised him.

i think froch's style plays into kesslers style, i think andre ward's style was too confusing for kessler, froch is more straight up and down, also he stand right in front of his opponents, his guard is down always, a focused kessler working off his jab should have no trouble with out pointing froch, unless kessler's head is messed up from losing to ward.......

really good fight, and a good chance for kessler to get back on the winning side of things.

Froch will roughhouse Kessler...

[Pullcounter]

the only way froch wins is if the UK ref allows froch to rough-house kessler and the UK judges give him the fight.

[£-4-£]

Froch has a solid chin, fair enough he's been hurt and knocked down before, but I don't think Kessler has it in him to KO Froch. Kessler will win by UD, but it'll be a fairly close fight e.g. 115-113.

[The Hammer]

This one could go either way, but I think Kessler will connect more often and win a decision.

[Porter's Dad]

I'd honestly be shocked in anything other than a Kessler victory.

They're actually both very good B+ or A- fighters. Kessler is the better boxer, but Froch is the tougher more determined fighter.

And the super-middleweight division is loaded with talent: Abraham, Dirrell, Bute, Ward, Taylor, Kessler, and Froch. Even the fringe contenders like Bika, Green and Inkin are decent.

No.....no.

168 is a division chock full of guys all around the same level...B AND C level...there is not ONE ELITE fighter in that division....which just so happens to be The Story of Super Middleweight.

so calling Froch and Kessler B+/A- is asinine...you wanna know why?

Andre Ward is currently the most talented boxer at Super Middleweight, and he's only a B+ fighter....and as everyone saw...he was at LEAST one full grade better than the former, recognized, best Super Middle in Kessler....

So what does that make Kessler?...yeah...a C+.

Abraham, Bute, Dirrell...all of them are Bs as of right now...everyone else you mentioned are B- or less...

Froch is long in the tooth, worn, and on his way out...the Dirrell fight proved that...so that why he's a C+ right now.

So yes...like I originally said...it doesn't matter who wins this fight....this fight is basically two very average fighters fighting each other in a deep, very average division.
