    After Froch bludgeons Kessler...

    Will they say A) Andre Ward beat the fight outta him

    or B) He was always mediocre.

    Personally i think Froch will spank him, at home and do the job properly.

    The englishman has had a tough run of fights, with taylor looking to prove a point and win the world title, then slippery Dirrell - and Now kessler, looking at the fight of his life following defeat..in front of his home fans.

    For someone who people claim is limited, he has gigantic balls and an exciting style.

    I cant wait for this european shoot out in the next round of the super six and think 'the cobra' will pick up 3 points from this fight.

    I'm very critical of Froch, as much as any reasonable person, but if he beats Kessler we will have no choice but to realize that us haters just underestimate him. The guy is damn good. I would still think Ward will beat him though, even if Froch knocked out Kessler in the first.

      Won't happen

      Froch's way too open, he's getting stopped for the first time in his car ear

        I think Kessler will look a lot better against Froch. The target is not the same as when your fighting Andre Ward, Froch fights as one dimensional as Kessler does, so Kessler will be able get off against Froch, plus Kessler punches straighter than Froch and has allround better fundamentals.

          My money is on Froch KOing Kessler. The loss to Ward has got him on a losing streak and really he could do with an easy fight before getting going again and the Froch fight is going to be a hard one. Froch is very good and underestimated because he wins ugly. IMO Froch will need to KO Ward to win I can't see him winning on points.

            Two things i hate in Boxing.

            1 A ****y, albeit talented fighter, who does not fight the best available competition(Mayweather)

            2 A fighter who's opinion of himself outweighs his ability in the ring (Froch)

              kessler will more than likely knock froch out,if not win a wide ass UD,really soften him up for abraham (a fight in which i fear for carls health)

                To me Kessler has always been a good solid fighter but not GREAT. I'm saying this as a Dane by the way. I never saw anything "great" in him. He's good but not great and he'll be exposed by quicker, slicker and more technically skilled fighters like Ward and Calzaghe. He's too one dimensional and can't really adapt if anything changes in the fight. Some even say he's too robotic. I agree to some extend.

                However, I don't rank Froch highly either. I don't like his style and Taylor and Dirrell showed how uncoordinated he really is inside the ring. He has a lot of heart though, well both of them have, and he can take punches and get up but he's not a good boxer in my eyes. However, he's difficult to figure out cause of his awkward style and it seems to me that he never follows his corner's advice or gameplan. If Kessler can get his jab going from the first bell then he should be able to win the fight. Jermaine Taylor set it all up with the jab against Froch. The jab is the key.

                  Hopefully it will be like two terminators battling it out until one explodes into a million pieces.

                    Amen,
                    although being British i'd rather see Kessler be the one falling to pieces.
