    People who are picking Carl to win....are nuts. This isn't quite going to be Andrade 2, Froch is better than that, but if Kessler has anything left (which I believe he does) then he wins this well. I expect him to hurt Froch at some point in the fight too.

    I got 200k on Kessler winning this. Any takers?

        I'm not betting, But i think Kessler loses, I also think that Carl Froch sucks, this is more about how bad Kessler has gotten than Froch being good.

          Don't be ridiculous, Abraham is much better than a C.

            I can't see any other outcome than Kessler absolutely decimating poor Froch on the outside/middle distance. I think Kessler has the power and accuracy to put him away but I think he lacks confidence and as such will be too hesitant to finish Foch off.

                Abraham is one dimensional, does not throw enough punches, and will not be able to fight an elite opponent coming forward. Average defense - I say his defense is average because he is yet to see anyone who can set up their punches, great power. I like his power, other than that, nothing impressive.

                  He has a very good defense and a great chin. He can counter an opponent coming forward when he needs to, as he did with Taylor in the later rounds.

                  He can even have a good workrate when he wants to, although he never throws many punches in the first three rounds.

                    Anything Froch can do, Kessler does better. Kessler does everything better than Froch.
