Having seen Kessler having a very rough time of it against Ward, it has got me thinking about Kessler against Froch. I was thinking Kessler would have come into this tournament looking much better than he did against Ward. I wasn't massively impressed with Ward and thought his spoiling tactics were deplorable, but Kessler really wasn't coming back with all that much at all. Kessler did look rusty in his comeback and now this showing. Perhaps the Calzaghe fight affected him a lot more than the odds were suggesting. I don't know, just random thoughts really.
But going into the Froch fight, Kesslers confidence will have taken another huge knock and just maybe Froch is in the right position at the right time to press for the win. I had always thought Kessler to be the man to beat in this tournament, but he really didn't look all there against Ward. Maybe Kessler will bounce back and have Froch bouncing off of his fists, but I must admit that there are a few doubts now.
So, who do you have winning in this fight now?
