I hate to bring out a name without anything substantial, but Froch increased his punch output with something like 30% from the first Kessler fight to the second.
Kessler getting beat still stings, doesn't it?

I'd say that it is not just a noname regional champion. Surely this doctors services would be very expensive. We are likely looking at a fighter from the top shelf.

Each fighter's jab was a key weapon in the first fight. Carl Froch averaged 10 of 48 per round while Mikkel Kessler went 8 of 31 per frame- well above the 168-lb avg. of 5 of 24 per round. Froch threw 77 jabs in round two- the most he's thrown 9 of his fights tracked by CompuBox. Will they finish where they left off over three years ago? Kessler threw his high totals for the fight in rounds eleven and twelve (70, 77 punches thrown). Froch threw a fight high 102 punches in round twelve- 72 of which were power shots. Froch's 102 thrown punches were most he's thrown in a round in 9 of his fights tracked by CompuBox.

That would be an increase in volume of well above 40%
