Thread: Froch - Kessler is going to be outstanding!!!

Is anybody else looking forward to this fight ? Both fighters have a lot to prove after their last outings and both come to have a real fight. At least Froch can fight somebody who is interested in getting invovled in the fight and wont be on the run for the whole fight. Im concerned about Kesslers confidence, even after his loss to JC hes not been on the highest form of late. I think both fighters know how important this one is and I remember how highly anticipated this fight was in 2009. Now its coming I think we wont be dissapointed, definatly a fight of the year in the works! Come on Frochy!!!!

Kessler simply looked lost in the ring against Ward, whenever that happens you always wonder if he can regain it mentally. I wouldn't be completely surprised if the crude pressure of Froch got to him a bit because of that.

Otherwise, Kessler KTFO Froch once and for all. It's like, someone has to do it. Andre Dirrell pretty much did it, I mean everyone knows he beat him, he just didn't beat him. So maybe Kessler fighting in his Viking homeland will be the one to finally beat him.

Im worried for Kesslers confidence too thats what I think makes this fight a lot more interesting. A lot of people after the JC loss made out that Kessler was pratically unbeatable and nobody could rise to the challenge. Ward showed that he is beatable and although Froch's style is different to Ward there is definatly a chance for Froch to wear Kessler down in a real fight. I think Froch has a real chance to win this one, and it definatly wont dissapoint compared to Frochs last outing.

I cant wait though, really have waited so long for this match up to come through

I think Froch gets KO'd. Kessler had a few problems in his last fight that I dont' think he'll encounter in this one.

1. A referee who's work could at best be described as being 'unfavourable' towards him.

2. He was fighting a quick, talented opponent who was a stylistic nightmare for him and knew what to do to take the belt.

3. He had a pair of big fuck-off cuts on him.

Now #2 is also true for Froch apart from the last bit, but the difference was I felt both fighters lost their last fight, only Froch had #1 (& judges) going heavily for him.

I think the crowd in Herning might be a bit of shock to Froch, even the Taylor fight won't have prepared him, & I think that Kessler takes advantage of that to stop him brutally in 7.

Its hard to rate that Dirrell fight though because it was so ugly. I think Carl has gained a lot of experience in digging deep especially against Taylor. I thought he did well in the Pascal fight who is showing to be a very promising fighter! As I said before both fighters styles will invite a very good fight which will be filled with action and as frochy's bird said 'hes just running like a faggot' hahahah none of that will be happening. Both fighters know the importance of this and Im not sure if Kessler will mentally be there after these two loses to high calibre fighters.

Or boxing as some people know it.

How the other guy is fighting isn't an excuse when you label yourself one of the best fighters in the world. Cutting the ring off is an important skill that Froch, with his extensive amateur career, should be more than able to do. Froch got the decision because of incompetent judging, poor refereeing & Dirrell's inexperience. That's the main thing to take from that fight. He won't have any of these 3 in his favour in Herning.

I agree Frochs performance was an under par one and he was lucky to get the win. But at the end of the day the Kessler fight is a different fighter who will get more involved therefore allowing Froch to implement his style in the fight instead of chasing a boring runner all night. Im very excited for this and I definatly know that its going to be entertaining

I will be pulling for Kessler on this one,still hurt over the Dirrell-Froch match and mostly because I hate Froch's girlfriend even more. I can already hear that banshee screaming, gives me the chills. Would like to see that woman cry, maybe even shut her up (unlikely) if he loses.

you still would though hahaha

It could well turn into a bit of a war. I originally thought Kessler would stop Froch, but there are doubts now. I quite like both fighters, so just want a decent scrap with no dodgy stuff.

froch to lose and lose hard. He's on borrowed time. Not sure if kessler is the man to do it but if he's focused he will be far too technically sound for froch who has been exposed many times without the opponent putting the finishing touches on him

the bitch is the only entertaining thing in the Dirrell fight, she's hot as hell lol i do have to watch it on mute though and fast forward to the clips that they show only her lol

I am torn on this one i think it will have to be a Kessler win UD, i cant see Froch being stopped his chin is really good and he can recover well. Good fight though!

his chin is really good? if Taylor would have paced himself he would have stopped him, and if Dirrell wasn't a chicken shit he could have stopped him numerous times in their fight, Froch has an average beard, if that

how does froch have an average chin? look at the pascal fight thats all you need to see, up until now he has a granite chin...

however i wouldnt be shocked to see his punch resistance either wane in this fight, or after this fight, kess is gonna be landing the one two ALL night, this fight imo will take everything froch has to win, and it might take everything he has, it may well be a fight like ward gatti where neither is the same after. I wish froch fought abraham before tbh as i think he could knock him out, however like i said i dont think he will be the same after, shame
