The rematch, Carl Froch - Mikkel Kessler 2 fight chat thread - Warriors Call !!!

[ICB]

I think Kessler won the 1st fight quite clearly although it was somewhat close, but based on form you'd have to go for Carl Froch.

Yes Carl has had an excellent result against Bute but Kessler would have matched it, maybe quicker.

Remember, Bute only wanted to travel and use Froch as an opponent because of how shite and slow he looked against Ward. Bute thought, "Ahhh... Froch has just had the poorest showing of his career, he is the perfect opponent for my next fight!"

Whereas Kessler was coming off beating Froch and knocking someone else out. Froch was viewed as finished when Bute was looking at him. Kessler was still dangerous.

Frochs last fight was absolutely pointless. A weight drained journeyman. Id rather see an old name brought up in weight not a never was journeyman brought down. At least an old name can still have the energy to look after himself and possibly have the skill to cause problems, like Ouma and Spinks did to Taylor.

I don't think Froch is any better now than when he fought Ward, or Kessler. All that happened is he started faster against Bute who would never had dealt with Kesslers either.

If Kessler is still doing the weight ok and is injury free its going to go the same way.

Roy Jones Jr., Steve Collins Pick Froch Over Kessler - Boxing News

[Rantcatrat]

Everyone on that roundtable picked Froch. Calzaghe made a good point though, Kessler was down against Allan Green, before he knocked him out. That's somewhat disturbing, going into a fight against Froch, who can punch. Moreover, Kessler is fighting in Froch's backyard now, so another close fight, and this time it's likely going to Froch. Froch has never been stopped. Froch is hungrier because he has something to prove. Kessler already has one win over him. Everything points to Froch winning. Still, it's a close fight on paper, and history has shown that usually the guy who wins the first time, wins the second time. I lean toward Froch by KO.

I think youll find they were being diplomatic but listen to the man that actually fought Kessler and he warns them not to overlook Kessler because hes a big puncher.

Collins seemed a bit blinded by the Bute result similar to people in here. Do they forget that Kessler had already beaten Froch? Coming off a crap performance against Kessler he still managed to neat Froch by scrapping rather than using his jab.

Manny Steward said that in 80 or 90% of rematches the better boxer wins. I think Kessler edges it but Froch gets a decision, setting them up perfectly for a big money rubber match.
