      Froch will retire him.

        If he cuts a bad cut early, you could say that.

          yes we'll see.
          you know, kess fighting all those second tiers after cal loss didnt help
          him in his embarrasing showing in his ward loss.
          so he gets rid of his head trainer and promotes veteran American trainer Jimmy Montoya from assistant to the position of head trainer.
          is that the change in corner kess is talking about?

          excerpts from graham houston the fightwriter take on kessler

          "When a fighter suffers a serious, even shocking setback, it can be the beginning of the end or a new beginning. Mikkel Kessler suffered a one-sided and demoralising loss to Andre Ward last November and now he has to put it behind him and try to come again when he meets Carl Froch in Denmark on Saturday in their second-stage bout in the World Boxing Classic, with Froch’s WBC super middleweight title at stake. Kessler was favoured to win the tournament but he fell apart in a startling way against Ward. It is normally considered advisable for a fighter to get in a confidence-builder type of fight after a loss such as this, but in the tournament format Kessler finds himself in another big fight against an unbeaten opponent.
          If there are shadows of doubt lurking in Kessler’s mind, Froch is the wrong type of opponent for him. Froch is big, tough, powerful and full of confidence. He is going to be coming at Kessler and looking to put him under pressure."

            The one thing Kessler does have working in his favor is that, trust me, Froch believes he really lost his fight against Dirrell.

                Ward is a very versatile fighter. Can set up shop on the inside and fire away and then get out of range.. Froch not too much with his lanky ass arms. And he doesn't have the handspeed to outjab Kessler either.

                I think Kessler wins this hands down.

                Froch has to really hit him with a money punch to beat him. And I've never seen Kessler wobbled.

                  He didnt have to, his mannerisms and my eyes told the story.
