What changed the perception in the minds of many fans is seeing how badly Kessler was beaten [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: Things were going badly for World Boxing Council super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-0, 20 KO’s) in his last fight against the gifted Andre Dirrell, so bad that after struggling to land anything at all against the mercurial Dirrell, Froch turned the fight physical in the 5th round with a bone jarring [...]

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 [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: Every fighter starts out with zero losses on their record, and if they’re lucky, they don’t suffer their first loss for a couple of years.
