Boxing Quotes: Carl Froch vs. Mikkel Kessler

[Hornfinger]

I'd tell Froch to cheer up. it won't be worse than the punishment Abraham is going to give him....

[CFH]

If Kessler is half of what he used to be, Froch is going to take one hell of a beating.

[CFH]

I'd tell Froch to cheer up. it won't be worse than the punishment Abraham is going to give him....

I think Froch stands a much better chance against Abraham. The German's low work rate and tendency to cover up while his opponents wail away will play in to Froch's hands. I don't know if Froch will beat Abraham, but he's got a shot.

same here

being able to out punch abraham and still mantaining a sensible approach is the key to beating AA

Against kessler he needed to be allowed that recklesness approach which he simply wont get in mikkels home town. I backed carl to beat taylor and dirrell but i seriously have my doubts on this one. Kessler will dictate the pace early on and froch will become a passenger throughout the inevitable 12round contest which kess will comfortably take through a unanimous decision.

It wont be a great fight that i can predict

I honestly see Froch beating Kessler up pretty bad, I said it to many times. Froch makes him quit.

Why do you guys think Froch will lose?

I mean besides the fact that he's a dick head?
lol

Kessler looked pretty bad against Ward last time out, I'd say it should be a pretty even fight between him and "the cobra".

[Kirkland Laing]

Kessler isn't going to stand in front of him and brawl, he's going to box him. If he's anything like the fighter he was this fight will look like Kessler vs. Andrade.


Good article.

"I will be bringing the Froch army of fans" the undefeated 32-year-old said "I've even chipped in for the minibus to take them from Copenhagen to Herning" said Froch.

Thats the million dollar question, how far has he mentally slipped and can hje get it back. He was the picutre of composure under heavy pressure against Andrade, but if he gets a bad start and doubt starts to creep in then I give Froch a shot even though I hat the crow nosed cunt.

You don't really get much further apart stylistically than Ward and Froch though. Andre fought a hell of a fight against Kessler, took his jab away, used all kinds of angles and some roughhouse tactics as well, it was a great performance from a young fighter. Froch has nowhere near the ability to utilize any of that, he can't roll with punches or use the ring, he won't be able to get out of the way of Kesslers straighter shots, he doesn't hit as hard, isn't as fast, doesn't have skills, I just don't see one thing going for Froch in this matchup truthfully.

[MMASUX]

I think it will be a pretty even fight. Both are going to come out and fight hard. Froch wants to gain 1 or 2 more ponts and not lose his belt and Kessler needs this win very bad. If he loses he's in big hole. Should be entertaining.

Froch surly isn't as fast or talented as Ward but IMO he does punch a bit harder.

And he is a tough bastard with pretty good stamina.

Froch was BLOODY BLOODY lucky to beat jermain taylor. I can't see either Abraham or Kessler getting tired and throwing it away like taylor did. Kessler's coming off a loss, he's back in his home country, he's fighting for a title, and he's got a lot to prove, he's going to be REALLY up for this. I just don't think Froch has the tools or work rate.
