I HALSO THINK KESSLER WAS ALOT BETTER BEFORE THE CALZAGHE FIGHT. I DONT LIKE FROCH I DONT THINK HE HAS FOUGHT ANYONE WORTH MENTIONING. PASCAL WAS JUST COMING FORWARD GIVING FROCH TROUBLE THEN GASED OUT. THEN THERES TAYLOR WHO WAS FINISHED AND HAD THE FIGHT WON UNTIL HE TRIED TO GO TOE TO TOE IN THE TWELTH. THIS IS A 50/50 FIGHT I THINK KESSLER HAS ENOUGH LEFT TO BEAT FROCH, BECAUSE FROCH’S DEFENSE IS LAUGHABLE.

I dont think you guys are giving Kessler enough credit. You guys are also down playing the performance of Andre Ward who was slick AND rough with kessler which is the reason why he lost. I believe Froch is the one that is overated. Lets not forget how a washed up jermain taylor almost killed him early in the fight with a powerful knock down, And how he was hardly able to land one clean blow against Dirrell. He was also hurt by Dirrell. Unless Froch enhances his technical ability drasticly i have Kessler winning this fight by TKO or UD.

You know what, Kessler wont be able to miss but then Froch never really defends and rarley tries to bother to get out of the way.

But speed and footwork wise Kessler aint no Taylor or Dirrell, he aint guna be that hard to hit either if Froch is happy to take a few on the way in.

Im telling you all now, this really could be fight of the year. Brutal.

Froch is much tougher than Kessler. After that fight with Dirrel you know he will be prepared. Kessler as a Boxer is over rated. His style might keep Kessler at a distance early but Froch is going to rough Kessler up going down the stretch. 65/35 Froch….

Kessler was the favorite to win this tournament for a reason . But who knew father time had his number ? Even in his warm up fight before the tournament he looked old . Pre Calzaghe Kessler had this tournament hands down , now hes an also ran . His body now has that worn out Hatton look at the weigh ins .

The pre Calzaghe version of Kessler would dominate Froch but now this fight is “up for grabs”.I believe that whoever wins will do so in devastating fasion. Styles make fights and this one has KO written all over it.

Kessler was great but since the calzaghe fight hasn’t really been the same. He seems to lack a lot of confidence and I think because of that he will lose by decision, Kessler has even said himself that this is his last chance and if he loses his career could be over. Froch on the other hand is full of confidence from his last two wins.
Kessler also couldn’t knock calzaghe down so I cant see him knocking froch out(who has only been down once in his career )

Kessler will definately have more success with Froch’s style than the awkward Ward…having said that, Froch will find Kessler’s style easier to deal with than the slippery Dirrell. I think it will make for a very entertaining fight and both fighters will certainly look better than they did in the first round matches!

lol well, if dirrell is soooo fast and slick.. how come he didn’t land on froch but the stiffer slower punches from Kessler will…? your a muppet and keep hating on Froch because he hammered that rubbish over rated yank Dirrell!! Who is Dirrell anyway?? Before the super 6 he was unheard of.. and after seeing him fight Froch, I see why!!

ok i dont care whether you’re right, wrong or talking about baseball, how many articles can you write where literally all you are informing us is that Froch is rubbish and will lose, Kessler will win and its irrelevant cus Dirrell is in another league anyway? Is that now 20 articles you’ve done on the next round of the super 6? All telling us exactly the same opinion you have which is based on your clear bias rather than anything more educated. Just please shut up and leave some space for someone who can write a good, varied, informative and non-monotonous article please.

“the title will be resting in the capable hands of his Danish opponent Mikkel Kessler” – The only thing Kessler is capable of is losing. The biggest names on his record are Beyer and Andrade, they are both second rate.

“I don’t see how Kessler will be able to miss, not with Froch leading with his face as he plods forward” – Why should it be different with Kessler? Are you saying that Kessler is better then Taylor, Pascal and Dirrell? Better then Dirrell you say.

“Kessler, who normally is a dead aim shot” – When he is fighting the second rate guys sure.

“My advice to Froch is to learn how to cover his head”- Are we all agreed that Dirrell and Taylor are faster then Kessler? I think Froch will find this fight much easier to handle. Kessler is over-rated and Froch is under-rated. You’ll see.
