I thought Kessler won the first fight but he was the one that looked most vulnerable in the exchanges and finished worst. And that was with the benefit of a huge Danish crowd roaring him home.
If the fight plays out similar to the first one I reckon Froch will stop him or force him to quit.
The bookies had Kessler favourite last time, they have it the opposite this time.
I think this will end up to be another war with toe to toe action and Froch pulling the victory. The fight will be so good that fans will want a third fight but for the sake of their health and career they will not fight against each other until Froch has beaten Bute again and lost to Ward.
It's not so much that I'm supporting Froch but more so that I see Kess as a guy who should have retired after his eye injury.Quote:

Still doesn't make Kessler a soft touch and not sure why people are thinking it will be a foregone conclusion that Froch takes this fight. It will be a barnburner that's the only thing guaranteed with this one..
I thought Kessler won the first, but Froch takes this one
I'm agreeing with you,:vd: I can't be well.!;DQuote:

I picked Kess the first time and I'm picking him again, and I really like Froch as a full throttle all action, honest fighter. I just have a sneaking feeling that Kess keeps it sharper and smarter this time and straight beats round.
I really want Froch to win this time,but its so close to call a real 50/50.
If i had to pick a winner i would say a wafer thin decision for Froch.
Either way it will be a war , cant wait for this fight.
I genuinely can't call this one.
All I do know is that it should be a great fight and both guys will give it everything. Really looking forward to it.
Kessler was coming off a pretty shattering loss to Ward when he fought Froch the first time. He started off fairly hesitantly if I remember correctly. I think both guys will be better this time and Froch gets a close decision that a lot of people disagree with, setting up a trilogy fight at some point. But I don't like Froch and never pick him to win, hence the Kessler bodyshot KO prediction. It'll happen.
Kessler is a fighter who i thought would dominate his division, but has fallen short of doing so. He had a string of wins over Siaca, Mundine, Lucas, Beyer and Andrade then pretty much wimped out against Calzaghe. Ward beat him easily and although his win against Froch was good i am not convinced he can repeat the performance. Froch by UD

I think Kessler lost something in the tourney and Carl gained something.I just don't see him losing this fight if it happens.
Froch is officially the man though, that's why you know Froch is going to win.Quote:
