It should be a decent fight, but if anything both fighters are probably where they were last time they met in terms of skills, strength and all of that.

I like both fighters and don't mind who wins, but Kessler is the better technically and if he controls himself can outbox Froch who simply doesn't have the output to make it an all out brawl. Froch was on the back foot a lot last time and with someone as strong as Kessler, he will have to pick his moments again in this one.
Remember little over a year ago?

Most in here thought Carl was finished and was about to get obliterated by Bute. I was one of the only ones who picked Froch to beat him and with this fight everyone seems to be writing Kessler off for no good reason. He has just sparked Green at light heavy while still only weighing 1lb over the super middle limit, finished Magee quicker than Froch, Bute or Ward would have done but given that hes proved hes on form and that he has already shown he has Carls number, all of a sudden hes shit...
