Kessler is better, should win

[sdcluser]

hit me back whats you guys think?

Kessler is "spent" from his last encounter with Carl. I see Carl stopping Kessler this time.

Had Froch winning the first fight as well. He'll do it again this time with the judges support.

Go on then, give us your reasoning for a Froch victory?

He obviously could win and arguably did the first time but imo Kessler identified a weakness from the first fight which they can exploit more fully on this occasion. I'm not sure I can say the same on behalf of Froch.

I think it'll be as close as the first fight, but this time Froch gets the nod.

my reasoning is that froch has been eating iguana meat this camp.

Kessler decision. Been saying it since the beginning. That right to the body will slow Froch down in the fight, Kessler will avoid getting into a fight an try to box circles around Froch to the best of his ability. Frochs jab will become weak and sloppy, he will not move as well as late as he did early, hence the right will land less frequently.

Froch will try to drag Kessler into a dog fight. If this happens I sincerely favour Froch. If it's boxing, then Kessler.

It really is a 50/50 fight, but I think Froch will just edge it. Expect a couple of knockdowns; but I think both men will see the final bell.

We're in line for a trilogy!

That's my fear, too. If Froch is tentative in the first few rounds, he'll give Kessler the initiative. He needs to throw caution to the wind. Kessler is not the man he once was. They respect each other, sure; but Froch has to rattle Kessler from the outset.

I'm not so sure a Bute esque performance would work on Kessler. If he tries to put Kessler under pressure I think he's going to walk into a broken nose like he did last time. Froch needs to use his awkward style to throw Kessler off his plan. Maybe Froch should try a few body shots of his own. We didn't see much of that last time from Froch. Froch also needs to use his jab much better because he has that extra 2 inch or so reach advantage. Kessler is too busy for Froch to think he can out punch him. So he really needs to get Kessler into a dogfight. Easier said than done imo. But if anyone can do it, it's Froch.
