Mikkel Kessler has an amazing chin..

[sniperatdk]

That fight answered some questions I had about Kessler's chin. Kessler had never really been hit with a big bomb before facing Froch and I was wondering if he could stand up to it. Obviously he could.

Froch's got a monster chin as well though. That right he took in round 8 - ouch!

Would those bombs KD or stop AA? i think possibly Froch is alot bigger

will he catch abe with those shots clean is more the point as abe has hands up always walking forward and wont be as effective punching through guard

[The Slaughter]

Kessler stunned Froch a couple of times, but it didnt happen the other way no matter how hard Froch hit him.
Abraham will KO Froch for sure, his chin is overrated (like the rest of him), hell even Taylor knocked him down.

Kessler was hurt by a Froch left hook in round five, and hurt again by a right hand with 30 seconds left in round twelve that had him falling against the ropes. Froch wasn't visibly hurt once. Well maybe that amazing short right hand Kessler landed in the mid rounds, but that was about as good as a punch Kessler has thrown in his career.

Froch took the punishment a lot better than Kessler in my opinion. I scored the fight a draw.

Well I think Taylor is strong, man, just I guess he doesn't land effectively or telegraphs most of the time. Pavlik said he hits very hard, and we know Taylor was the only one of two(?) people to drop Pavlik in his career.

The sides of Abraham's eyes were all swelled up from the wing arounds Taylor was hitting around Abe's guard. So dropping Froch shouldn't really be seen as a dis-credit to Froch.

Froch does hit hard, but when your recent list of opponents reads -

Pascal,
Taylor,
Dirrell,
Kessler,
and soon to be Abraham, it's hard to knock out elite opponents.

Froch's res looks a lot better than Calzaghe's with every passing day.
