By Dennis Broadhurst:

Froch-Kessler: I see this fight coming out with Froch on top through a hard fought decision or very late stoppage. I think Froch will struggle in the early rounds with Kessler but his chin will take him through to dominate the later rounds (9-12). I would not be suprised for Froch to be dropped early on much like against Taylor but then coming back. I don’t think Kessler likes taking a hit (not that anyone does) he will backdown later on when Froch comes on strong with his powerful punches, thinking he will need a knockout to win and may score a stoppage but will have the last round rally he needed. Both men will be great on the night but I see a tight victory for Froch.

Dirrell-Abraham: As much as I disliked the amount of complaining Dirrell did against Froch in their fight and even throwing himself on the floor to avoid punishment, I think he is very highly skilled with brilliant speed and decent power. I like Arthur Abraham as he is a big puncher, everyone likes a big puncher. I see Dirrell outboxing Abraham, on the move alot but using his hands more than he did against Froch. I think that Dirrell’s movement is too much for Abraham’s slow, plodding style, and I see a good moving, fast Dirrell winning a unanimous decision over Abraham, who I think will get desperate in the later rounds.

Ward-Green: I think that Ward will win this one, it will be a hard fight as Green is a big puncher but I think that Ward will win a decision because of his superior skill. I know Green has the power to stop anybody if he catches them right but Ward has good power of his own and I think that even if Green drops Ward, that Ward will fight on in a great display to win the decision.
