What now:Kessler??

[Galaxy]

I don't want to say Kessler was overrated, but I lost a lot of respect for him the way he was whining after the fight! Its boxing mate, not ballet.

I dread to think what Froch will do to him, if he can't handle or accept those accidental headbutts. Froch is dirtier than that, Kessler might be in tears by the end of the fight!

People may laugh but I think Froch beats Kessler, he has zero upper body movement, decent footwork nothing special and his mental issues after his last fight could be a problem.

Kessler I love the guy one of my favourite fighters but I always said he is very over rated, hes decent at the basics thats it nothing special at anything.

I'm tending to lean that way now man.... Unless Froch can't take power shots from Kessler i think this is gonna be a great fight. Kessler's limited upper body movement will suit Froch's sloth like hooks and uppercuts down to the ground, but Froch is quite easy to hit if your pretty accurate and have good timing, which Kessler has both........ I have a feeling that this fight will be a FOTY war with both fighters really lacking movement. Its certainly not going to be a running contest thats for sure. I think both fighters could even be tasting the canvas in this fight. Bit of a last man standing job.....

I don't know if Froch beats Kessler. Kessler loses to people who are better outside fighters then he is, and can throw inside combinations with speed.

Froch does neither, he swings from the outside. He is like a 168 version of Margarito. There's no way Kessler is gonna get beat by Froch the same way Ward or Calzaghe beat him. Froch isnt a better outside fighter, this could wind up looking like the Andrade fight.

Completely agree with this post. Froch isn't fast enough or good enough on the inside to give Kessler problems. Kessler shouldn't have as much of a problem with holding or dirty tactics because the fight is scheduled to be in Denmark.

I disagree there mate I think Froch will get the better of Kessler on the inside, I dont see Froch have as many problems as some may think on the outside Froch has an underrated Jab and Kessler comes forward, I think personally people will be suprised how well Froch does against Kessler.

People are crazy fast to jump ship from a fighter like Kessler. I was pulling for Ward but thought that Kess would ultimately take it. I figured Kessler would put pressure on him and ultimately cut off the ring, negating his movement and start to break him down. I figured Kess to pull out a close fight but it didn't turn out that way.

People are talking about "what happened with Kessler" and less about how great Ward fought. Sure there was some head clashes but shit happens... We're not playing patty cake.

Ward's in-fighting was superb. He looked like a whilly old vet in there... Kessler is used to picking dudes apart and then using his power to finish the job... But you need to start a job to finish it. Wards angles and movement coupled with his in-game befuddled Kessler.

Cut Kessler some slack. He fought probably one of the best young fighters in the world.
