That would be a thing of beauty!

People are saying Froch has really improved. Has he? Since he was beaten by Kessler hes been beaten by Ward. He did the same as hes always done against Bute but Bute just isnt resliant enough to fight with him and he fought a complete waste of time fight against a weight drained journeyman who has never done anything.

Kessler, after his defeat to Ward, gave Froch his first loss then KO'd 3 decent opponents quicker than anyone else ever has. He sparked Green at Greens favoured weight, he said he was weight drained at super middle. Green is a big puncher and he caught Lessler in the first but Kessler came back and just tirned his lights out. Froch got dropped by a faded middle weight. Kessler getting caught and dropped by a big punching light heavy isnt bad, Calzaghe had the same in his last 2 fights.

Then Kessler just went through Magee like a hot knife through butter. Magee was having a nice patch of wins and Kessler just hurt him with everything. Magee said hes never been punched like that before and he fought Froch and Bute.

Kessler has power and skills. Everyone who has fought Kessler, bar Ward is picking Kessler. Those who are picking Froch are doing so by being hoodwinked in to thinking a 35 year old man has improved since the worst showing of his career only 3 fights ago.

If Kessler had fought Bute at home, I doubt Bute would have faired any better than Magee.
Nope, Froch hasn't improved at all, technically.. He's just more confident but so is Kessler after his string of knockout victories. You are right about Magee and the way Kessler set up Green by going to the body was pure genius. This just shows the extent of Kessler's mental toughness man. He's truly a viking warrior.

Froch appears to be overconfident and all his macho talks are getting annoying. He's been figured out by Kessler and there's really nothing he can do to change that besides throwing more punches. It aint like he can box with the man. He's going to have to open up more but that's only going to give Kessler more counter punching opportunities.

I dont really put too much stock into the Bute victory because dude fought nothing but tomato cans prior to that fight. Froch just exposed him for the pampered fighter that he is.

Only way Froch wins this fight is by hometown judging.
