Froch-Kessler - who wins? (poll)

[ono]

If Froch has a unique ability then nobody else has it. Calzaghe can't have it too or it wouldn't be unique.

And Froch just did what he did in his last three fights, walk forward face first throwing punches. The only thing that changed in the Taylor fight was that Taylor ran out of steam and slowed down to Froch speed and Dirrell fought like a prospect away from hom but still won the fight on most peoples' scorecards including the British TV team.

I have to agree with Kirkland. Even as a Froch fan I must concede he is arguably the LEAST adaptable fighter in the Super 6 competition.

He has fought exactly the same way every time I've seen him. He tends to do better when fighters come for him and he can land those uppercuts, but at the level he's fighting at now his opponents have been smarter.

Joe Calzaghe he most definitely is not.

I believe it was Killersheep who said rather than adaptable, he is best described by the adjective 'tenacious'. That sums him up perfectly. He has found a way to win so far, not through being adaptable, he changes nothing, but rather he sticks at it, and has great stamina and mental determination.

You could conceivably argue that he is the mentally strongest fighter in the whole competition, (although we haven't seen Andre Ward' resolve tested yet), but he's simply not adaptable, I would say not even a bit.

It was me but thanks anyway. I thought it summed it up pretty well.
Carl Froch and adaptable don't belong in the same sentence unless the sentence also contains 'is' and 'not'.

Yeah i don't believe he's adaptable. Persistent is a good word for him. He just keeps believing in what he is doing and so far it has worked, although the Dirrell fight was one that he got away with imo.

He doesnt know any better, his trainer and promoter are both sub standard and they cant tell him any different.

Thats fair for Hennesey but I think McCracken is a decent trainer. As far as I can tell.

Kessler because of experience and being much more technically sound. He has to be in shape mentally as well as physically and Froch still moves in one direction and over confidence is a killer. Kessler frustrates the caveman in twelve.

My opinion on this fight has changed again.

I see Kessler winning, but it won't be easy.

I simply see his 1-2 being too effective for Froch to deal with. Froch will do some damage though.
