If the fight was in denmark it would be a lot closer but i cant see kessler winning it even there, unless ward is totally thrown off his game, which can happen in hostile environments sometimes so you never know

Originally posted by Check View PostI didn't see anything in Kesslers game that changed, that would make me go, yeah he would beat Ward now. He did better but that was because Froch doesn't move like Ward. People go way overboard when a fighter looks better in his next bout. Styles make fights.

Froch won the majority of the early rounds, so some might argue that Kessler somehow adapted to him that way by winning the later rounds, but really Kessler did the same thing every round. Froch just couldn't handle his speed as the rounds went on.
More importantly, Froch doesn't present the slick style that Ward or Calzaghe did. Calzaghe and Ward both overwhelmed Kessler with their speed and Kessler wasn't able to get off because of it.
What was most impressive/surprising about Kessler Froch last night was how Froch didn't really come forward and tried to outbox him. It worked for a little bit, but Froch couldn't keep up the pace thanks to Kessler's speed. Kessler did a good job sticking to his gameplan...but that's all Kessler does. Stick to his gameplan. He doesn't adapt. He wouldn't beat Ward.
