Comments Thread For: Mikkel Kessler: "I Will Take Carl Froch's WBC Title"

[damned1974]

I think this is going to be a closer fight than everybody thinks. Froch may take this one, he only has trouble with fast slick boxers and doesnt seem to be able to cut the ring off fast enough to lets he hands go.

But as Kessler is neither as fast or slick as Froch's last two opponants that could work to Froch's advantage as he has the much stronger frame & punching power + Kessler will prob come and trade alot more.

I do hope Froch has tightened his defence as this is his major down fall, which kessler could exploit like Taylor did on many occassions.

Froch ud.

I wouldn't call Taylor a slick fighter.He is a fighter that has a top jab,works off of a pattern,and stands in front of you- though he is good at what he does,he is by no means slick.
Mikkel has fast hands when he lets them go,and both fighters like to fight at arms reach of one another.
The fighter who establishes the jab has the best chance and sets up big shots.Froch cannot be lazy as he has been- I believe Kessler takes this by UD,but wouldn't be surprised if Mikkel can finish him.Don't be fooled by Mikkel's last fight-he was never given the distance to utilize his jab....
Froch's only chance to win is to make Kessler back up- he cannot fight moving backwards.In order to back Mikkel up,Froch may eat some painful combos on the way and get hurt.This is going to be very entertaining to watch.

That could be true i do expect a war back and fourth, I thinks its going to be a close one either way, but im rooting for Froch..

Before Ward I was 100% certain that Kessler would KO Froch before round 10. I'm now only 99% sure.
