I don't know why he keeps his hands so low he doesn't have the reflexs to get out of the way of punches, he should watch the video of that fight realise how bad defencivly he is and work on it, if he does that i'd give him a good chance against anyone in the division.
I agree he's so open I think he has a hard time beating Kessler with out making some serious adjustments to his game but he went down after already being rattled from taking 3-4 heavy shots from Taylor right on his chin and then a left hook/right hook combination... right on his chin.

Other than looking confused as fuck (first time he's ever been down) you could see his eyes were 100% there and his legs were barely affected. Don't think his chin or how hard Taylor can hit are the issue. Just Carls lack of defence.

But yeah, however good his chin is Kessler hits hard enough and is accurate and big enough to floor anybody if he manages to hit them so Froch really needs to work on developing some form of guard.
