Wasn't Montoya already in Kessler's camp?

Not in the Ward fight

Kessler is getting beat off Froch imo.

Kessler/Froch is more evenly poised than I originally thought. Kessler's performance against Ward was really quite shocking. Ward has some skills, but I don't think he is quite that good. Kessler played totally into his hands.

If Kessler can raise his game then he can bash Froch around for 12 rounds, but Froch will keep coming and if Kessler isn't prepared to rough it out then Froch sure as heck will be trying to rough him up. Froch might well have a chance that I really didn't think he had.

Prior to the Ward fight I also thought that Kessler's direct style would punch holes through Froch, but his performance against Ward has really turned my opinion for this bout. I think Froch has a great chance, and could well wear Kessler for a stoppage late on.

Me too. I think Froch might as well not turn up if he eventually gets drawn against Ward though.

God loves a trier KL, and Carl Froch is certainly that. I see Arthur Abraham's KO giving him the edge if as I predict he goes through undefeated, and Ward, the other undefeated hand in this bout getting the second seed, so I do see Ward and Froch clashing in the semis, with Abraham getting Kessler. I want to say Froch would have a chance, and he would have a puncher's chance, but Ward would be a big favourite for that, and the Super Six may well be his party to celebrate him taking over Calzaghe's unified champion mantle.

There's still a lot of boxing to do before this happens though!
