Comments Thread For: Froch: Kessler is Not My Friend, I'm Smashing Him!

[BattlingNelson]

I'm a fan of both. Before fight week I was leaning towards Froch, but I think the occasion is going to get to him. He's going to get caught by something big running in. We'll see a knockdown, i'm sure of it.

I'm a fan of both as well. Moreso of Kessler because he is my countryman. Had Froch fought anybody else, I'd have backed him.

Anyway I have heard of only ONE non-danish expert picking Kessler to win tomorrow. I seriously have a hard time believing it. He won the first time and then suddenly 99% of all the so-called experts are picking the loser. Wtf happened here?

SKY/tabloid spin, my friend!

There was a poll in one British newspaper which showed that 8/10 boxing fans are picking Froch to win by stoppage! I guess these 'fans' haven't seen Kessler box.

Its a genuine 50/50, in my opinion. I fancy Froch, but if Kessler works the body early on, I can see him scoring a mid-late KO.


Do you think Kessler will retire if he loses tomorrow night?

Then using the same logic Ward must be A very good friend of Froch.I know i know he's just trying to sell the fight

Yeah whatever happens I don't think it's going 12. Sadly I'm not sure Froch's head is in the right place, I have Kessler pulling the upset (if it can be called that).

They'll be best mates once the fight is over.

I don't think he'll retire if he loses. He might take a break, but surely there'll be a comeback. It's with him as it is with almost all fighters. Boxing is what they know. The transition to 'normal' life is harsh and it's the fewest of the few who knows the right time of retirement.

Robert Guererro.

Edit:

Make it two. Brian Magee picked the dane as well.

I'm no expert either...
But I've seen Kessie's fights after his comeback -- not impressed at all...
I'm still looking for that Kessie that Ward had to headbutt and clinch all the night in order to "win"...
