i pick kessler by ud

[Savino]

This fight is gonna be a war and can it been a SD to either fighter. i'd probaly tip kessler to win.

[S H O B O X]

if froch is allowed to rough mikkel up he could just sc**** it , but i doubt that will happen so mikkel by wide ud or possibly late stoppage

[Pugilistic™]

I'm picking Kessler to win and i'm rooting for him also.

Froch has a good punch though, so he has a chance to win with that.

Froch to KO Kessler mid-late fight in a war. The Ward fight demonstrated that Kessler simply isn't the fighter he once was.

Froch simply doesn't know how to lose, and I don't think Kessler is the guy to teach him, in Copenhagen or not.

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.

True, and I think Abraham is a C. We have yet to see what he's really made of, fighting a shot Taylor does not qualify for anything.

[Earl-Hickey]

Were this Kessler before Calzaghe, I pick him, but I think Kessler just doesn't have that mental edge anymore.

I think in a few years we will look back and say that Kessler went to ruin after his first loss.

I pick Kessler will come out desperate, get involved in a tear up, his cuts are going to open up and he will get stopped, a bloody mess in about the 6th or 7th

Terrible analysis. Just cos one fighter has an easy fight with another doesn't mean they're a grade above. They're are factors like style and general performance on the night. One could easily have said that Quintana was a B+ fighter and Paul Williams a B- fighter after they're first meeting if that's the case. And Andre Ward is an A class fighter if you ask me.I think he's got top physical and mental attributes. Gold at the Olympics and 20 victories as a pro in dominant fashion. B+ fighters just don't do that.
