Kessler never held on for dear life like that against Froch.
I saw the fight already and have seen the fight several times. I have it on DVD. Kessler comes right back at him after a brief rest.
Here is Mikkel himself
"You have to have a game-plan against Carl, who has longer arms than I thought and is physically strong, as if you hit him he will hit you right back," said Kessler, who defeated Brian Magee in December to seize his strap.
"I know some more things about him now having seen his previous fights against guys like Lucian Bute, but I think Froch, who is not as fast as Joe Calzaghe but hits harder, has got better (since we fought).

In the BN interview today he says (and you will have to trust me or buy a copy because I can't find a link, so have copied word for word)
"..even if Joe gave me a much more technically difficult fight, Carl was my hardest fight, both physically and mentally, and my greatest victory." Kessler also reveals that, even amid the glow of victory, he felt far more battered the morning after the Froch fight. "But it was a good hurt" he says with a grin."When you don't care. When you lose it's a bad hurt in your heart. After Joe only my tendons were very sore. But they always are when a fight goes past six rounds. The punches from Joe didn't hurt too much because he's not such a hard hitter. With Carl you feel the blows much more. He is very slow but a strong puncher"
But yet Calzaghe fought the best version of Kessler ever whereas Froch fought the comebacking version whod just been beaten again and he still managed to give Froch his first loss.
Kessler can tell all the fairy storys he wants about who doesnt hit hard and who does but If Joe didnt hit hard why didnt he just walk through him?
Froch is the brightest of people and is very excited with the fight so close and his anxiety got the better of him.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
for one thing, Kessler is NOT Bute!!! Kessler is a true warrior and will never submit. we will see if the long layoff is relevant, but i still think Kessler is too slick. kessler wins on points.
Froch is so fucking stupid...
He keeps coming out with gibberish.
"I’m glad Kessler will walk first. I can get into the Arena, soak up the atmosphere from the biggest crowd either of us has performed in front of"
They have sold 18,000 tickets. When Kessler fought against Calzaghe he fought in front of 3 times as many people!

If Calzaghe doesnt hot hard, why didnt Kessler just walk through his pumches amd batter Joe like he did to Magee? He couldnt necause Joe was catching and hurting him![]()

It is funny that Carl does hit harder then the version of Calzaghe that Kess fought now doubt but he had kessler in more trouble then Carl with that body shot. Off topic a bit but speaking of Calzaghe when the fuck was his prime really sure there is a thread about it.

He was so good during his career consistantly but like Hopkins there is an area where he was more dangerous. Id say early 2000's when he still put power in his punches and tried for the ko. He was always a good boxer, he wan 3 national ABA titles on the trot, each in a new weight. Thats why Hopkins never wanted to move up for 3 million quid back then.![]()
Froch was perhaps being a bit too extreme, but it's boxing and some of them get like that. You should be looking to mess up your opponent and that's all he means. I thought he got on well with Kessler, so it just sounds strange to hear him talking like that. Froch has been saying a lot of weird things in recent days, but he has always said odd things. Boxers seldom die in the ring and I imagine the odds of Kessler actually being killed this weekend are probably quite minimal. Froch is being quirky, but he is funny that way. You need a bit of pantomime. It does build him into the bad guy though and in a fight where you like both fighters, it pushes you towards the gentleman of the two.
Not sure joe fought a better version. When kessler fought joe he was young inexperienced and away from home. When h fought carl he was at home and his career was on the line. He also had more experience at world class and seemed to put it all on the line and fight with more desperation than he did in cardiff
