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!!!! ;D

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 ;);D 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? :confused::confused: 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

What makes you think Froch would KO Abraham?

Abraham is tough as nails dont get me wrong. They are both come foreward fighters and i would say froch is faster. Abraham is still new to 168, only fighting Taylor who isnt a big super middleweight. I just think Froch's power would bust him up, not without Abraham having his moements mind, again i think the fight will be a classic if it happens.

Kessler takes this, ward is a completely different fighter than froch and presented a stylistic nightmare for kessler. Froch is going to come forward, just how kess likes em...

There is no outcome of this fight that would surprise me - I just have no clue how it will go!

I will say I can't see either of them winning the Super Six

Froch in an exciting fight!? BEHAVE!! :rofmaoal:

Carl Froch vs Jermain Taylor
Carl Froch vs Jean Pascal

Wern't entertaining fights ?

I like Kessler in this fight and see it playing out like his fight with Andrade. Kessler by wide UD. However, Froch has surprised me before.

Just checking but in the next round, Kessler fights Abraham, Ward fights Dirrell, and Froch fights Green?

That is BS! Taylor would have finished him if he could but he didnt. I dont care how old you are when your fighting for a title and you hurt your opponent you guna go for it but Taylor didnt because he couldnt finish him!

Froch wins this for me. Kessler is way over rated.

Obviously havent seen seen many Froch fights.

Kessler is no way near as good as he is made out to be; he's a good fighter but doesn not know how to adapt and can't handle rough house tactics. I see Frochj roughing him up and busting him up for a good points win.

Kessler may be a little overrated but the Ward loss was a shock to just about everyone. NObody can honestly say they expected a whooping like that.

I hate backing fighters coming off bad losses, but Froch is so stylistically opposite to the elusive Ward, that I think Kessler is still favourite. He will have the speed this time and could look impressive... and get his cred back

I hope it's outstandingly one sided in Kessler's favor. :)

Froch has a good chance in this fight which i don't like to admit though.

Ward's dirty tactics seemed to really throw Kessler off and Froch is very good at fighting rough, He also is much naturally stronger than Ward and can hit harder. With these factors, i think he has a chance to win.

With that being said, He lacks things that Ward used to beat Kessler like movement, handspeed and defense.

It's a fight i'm really looking forward too.

The final round of taylor froach was decent, but you could only see that if you managed to stay awake through the other dull as fuck rounds.

Froach pascal, hmm maybe but not really. compared to other froch fights yes, but on the grand scheme of things, no.

Froch's fights are always entertaining because he comes to fight, end of story really. I think Kessler will come to fight too, therefore making this a really exciting one and wide open for a right tear up!

Actually...this can go one of two ways...

I'm a huge Kessler fan...losses, fades, or whatever faults they throw out there. I think that he's got skills...even if they may be on the down slide after the Calzaghe shellacking...but I don't believe that Froch is in his league. I think Mikkell will batter him like fried chicken. End of story.

That being said...this is boxing...& maybe his detractors are right. Maybe Kessler is fading & maybe the losses have changed him...& if they have...then YES!!! Kessler vs Froch will be outstanding.

If Kessler has lost some of his polish & perseverence...Froch may have a good shot at standing toe to toe & making a fight of this.

I'd love to see a Froch firefight instead of a Kessler pick & peck...which seems to be where he's resigned himself to now.

Either way...I gotta pick Kessler...just out of loyalty.

Who are you :confused:

I think this could be one of the tear ups of the year, Froch has limited skills, we all know that but he has Big Balls, plenty of heart, desire, and fitness. Kessler on the other hand has those attributes too, maybe not as much as Froch but makes up for that with slightly better skills, a very even fight on paper and one I have looking forward too for some time, got to predict a win for Froch but wouldn't be to shocked if Kessler knocked him out.

I think he's lost a lot of assurednes sine JC, and I agree with people that say he cant adapt like the elite fighters.

The fighter that fought Andrade embarasses Froch and stops him in 9 IMO, but I wasn't convinced in his latest interview in ~Berlin that Mikkel has got over some self doubts. Froch is so fuckin deluded he doesn't suffer from that drawback.
