Kessler stepped his knee bending and headmovement game up.

The Ward loss showed him to quit the straight up 1-2 robot crap, and start bending his knees and fienting.

Jimmy Montoya take a bow

He looked good in there at times, fought different than he usually does, props to Kessler.

[BrooklynBomber]

Well, actually he always fought like that, especially when he was active, before the Joe C fight. Watch him against Andrade, imo, it was his best showing. Just after the calzaghie, being fed a bum diet he lost half his skills and was winning out on speed and power alone.

[Bhopreign]

I saw the same man.

I don't know if it was because Froch has slow handspeed, but he actually looked a lot quicker in this fight. Froch's chin was also amazing. It makes me wonder how the f**k Jermain Taylor was able to hurt him like he did. Both certainly stepped it up today.

He is one of the best at the basics but to come out on top in this tournament he would have to step his game up and that is exactly what he did.

Froch is a little bit tailor made for Kessler. I thought Kessler won a great fight but my opinion of Kessler went down rather than up.

My opinion of Froch went up. I didn't expect him to be so competitive.

Jermaine Taylor can crack, don't get it twisted. For the first 6 rounds he is very dangerous.

Kessler definately stepped his game up. He looked like an American fighter at times.
