    If froch can pull out the win in kesslers hometown that will be impressive imo, it also may spell the end of kessler if froch can do it

      Of course Froch will earn respect if he beats Kessler. The reason he is not ranked higher is that even in his wins the opponent is in it. He hasn't dominated none of his last contenders, he has lost rounds and has even got knocked down. He is a tough guy that comes to fight and has a very underated jab that is very effective when he decides to use it.

      Mikkel lost cause he couldn't adjust. Ward camp came with a plan and excuted it and Kessler had now answer cause he can't reset his legs fast enough.

        There were a lot of headgames going on that night, such as the fight being delayed because Ward's team pretending they had a problem with Kessler's wraps. The referee kept going over and admonishing him between rounds, although it was Ward who was doing the fouling!

        That was the most obviously crooked ref I have ever seen.

        And Ward is working with the founder of BALCO, Victor Conte!
        kessler showed very little if anything that hed win a rematch. ward beat him in every aspect of the fight. on the outside, in the pocket, and in the inside. kessler is far too dependent on his jab to set up his offense and ward took that away.

        reiss couldve done better but lets not make him out to be roger tilleman.

        Ward is not that great as people make out anyway, bute put the new and improved Miranda out in 3 rounds, while it took Ward lots of hugging to beat him in a 12 rounder.
        if kessler had a problem fighting ward in oakland he couldve used the clause in his contract to block the fight from happening in oakland. gary shaw said hed use it during the video of the super six summit.

        true but ward lacks the power of bute and fights in a different style.

            It's gonna take a lot for him to get it done. This one's going to the cards, and Froch can't have more than 3 close rounds at most if he's gonna win it. I'm favoring Kessler in this one. If Froch pulls it off, especially on points, he definitely raises his stock a lot.

              The guy who reffed Ottke-Reid has been selected at the sole Referee, Judge and Doctor.

                  to have a chance at winning, froch will need to gun for a ko, he's fighting in Kessler's backyard, even if by a miracle froch puts on a clinic the fight still could be close on the cards.

                  with that said, so far all the **** froch talks he seems to back up. there's nothing special about him, his style is awkward , he gets hit, but he finds ways to win. kessler should win a decision, but i wouldnt be surprised if froch wins this fight.

                    I'm really excited about the two great fights this weekend: Kessler-Froch and Adamek-Arreola.

                      Froch has to go for the knockout!

                      No way he is getting a decision in Denmark.


                      Kessler must bleed!!!
