I like both of these guys so i’ll be sorry to see either man lose but i reckon Kessler is on the slide a bit so for me it’s a Froch win by KO.

everyone since the beginning of time has said that styles make fights, only a brit with credit it to lewis…that said, this fight will prove a lot, is kessler shot or is froch overrated…if its a close fight i vote for both, but it may be neither…

Lennox lewis once said that styles make fights… he is correct… and i think Carl has yet to show to you what he can do… Dirrell ran that night and Carl was off his game

J lander…i am a real fan of Jean Pascal and i can guarantee you that he would beat Froch easy today, but back in december 2008, Pascal was green…that lost against Froch and those 2 war that he won against Diaconu made him what he is today. I agree Pascal will beat Dawson on the 14 August.

If Froch can walk through Kesslers best shots i can see him winning by a ud or even a late tko if kessler tires towards the end, because Froch always seems to have great fitness.

Pete…I surely don’t think that Dirrell put on a great performance against Froch, he was way too much on the outside and scare to get dirty.
But i think he won the fight, i will ask you one question…if we put the same fight, the same scenario with the same fighters, but somewhere in the US or anywhere else than Froch backyard.
Do you seriously think the decision would have been the same ?
And remember that Dirrell is not a great fighter, he was being carefull against Froch imagine against Abraham, he will probably run out of the ring. Kessler is still a lot better than Dirrell and Froch.

GOOD ARTICLE
FROCH IS SH*TE
HE GOT WHUPPED BY TAYLOR UNTIL THE TWELTH AND DIRRELL MADE HIM LOOK REALLY AVERAGE, AND DIRRELL IS NO GOOD EITHER. IT MAKES ME LAUGH WHEN PEOPLE SAY FROCH WOULD HAVE BEATEN CALZAGHE.

Kessler is over-rated.

He is just an ordinary fighter in every dept. An old fragile fisted Calzaghe and young-gun Ward showed the world that.

I wouldn`t be the slightest bit surprised if Froch outpointed or stopped Kessler – much the same as if Kessler did the same to Froch.

Both guys are mediocre fighters pretending to be something special.
The biggest surprise of the super6 tournament for me, has been how average the so-called top guys at the weight are ..

Kessler’s skill is overrated he takes way to long to set himself to get his shots off the guy looks almost robotic at times unless you have the speed and reflex of dirrell Froch will find you with his big slightly clumsy shots

@ Benzo

You can play down Froch’s wins but that’s all you will be doing. And by the way, it wasn’t a “weird decision” against Dirrell, it was a wierd performance by Dirrell. In round 4 and a couple of other rounds like 11, Dirrell looked fantastic, he looked like a world beater… but the rest of the time he was awful. Froch was able to control the ring and throw Dirrell off his game.

I was just making the point that Kessler is over-rated and those who think he has superior skills are deluding themselves. I think it will be a great fight and it could go either way but my money is on Froch.

I agree,Froch has a only a puncher’s chance…that’s all !

By the way Pete, who has beaten Froch beside a green Pascal, a gift by Taylor an a weird decision against Dirrell.

Froch will get is first defeat and his second in a row against Abraham after that.
