Carl froch v Kessler-the full break down.PREVIEW.
50 50 fight to be honest. I don't like the fact most pundits are picking froch. This happened with Haye v wlad and look what happened.
Anyhow, I felt froch won the first fight, he fought on the back foot and did the better quality work, but at the same time didn't follow up his attacks. Where as Kessler was always busier. Always, especially to the body.
If you watch round 4 and 5, froch was ,as Richie woodhall put it, admiring his shots. Especially round 5, where he stepped back, which is fine. But literally moon walked away and celebrated his work.wtf??
But to be honest, I was disappointed with froch from the Abraham fight onwards. I thought he was to concerned about looking slick and stylish and forgot what hes best at and that's punching relentlessly, and at a very powerful rate.
Froch imo did better against ward than people make out. Im sorry but I gave it four rounds to ward, froch landed some good shots, Froch did zero inside practice, and was poor anyhow. And one of the judges in America gave it 2 rounds to ward. So imo its an urban myth he got schooled, comprehensively beaten yes, but schooled no.
Kessler imo is the betters choice, almost 2-1 to win, and almost 3-1 to win on points. With this being a coin toss, bias aside I would bet on Kessler. There is no evidence hes declined. Please show me where the evidence is???. Wow he got a knock down v allan green. But froch got a flash knock downed by taylor earlier on in his career.
His power looks very good since his detached retina has recovered, and had koed everyone in sight, and imo the allan green ko is one of the best knock outs ive ever seen.
He got schooled v ward, but bare in mind Kessler was fighting ward in America, and had his fists and his billy goat gruff head to fight against. Could the scarring be key in this fight, bare in mind he opened up in the first froch Kessler fight???
Prediction, I do not have a clue, but for the fact that the odds are so good for Kessler, id bet on him. IM there live, so obviously I will be rooting for froch.
May the best man win.
