    I was really impressed with Kessler's determination. He just had more will than Froch and that was a main reason he won. Whether it was coming back and taking over the fight after a bad 5th round or fighting like he needed a come from behind KO in the 12th when he was way ahead.

    But yeah he has some issues. Easy to hit. Especially with the left hook and if you throw combos he might block the first or the second but he almost always gets hit with the 3rd or 4th punch. I think Green is a bit of a fraud but he does have some power and his best punch is his left hook so I'm afraid he might catch Kessler with something.

    Oh, sure. I thought It was a very fun fight to watch and Kess surely wanted it! I think Green will give him issues, now. I think Kess will still beat him but with each passing fight he's being hit with shit he never was before. Kessler needs to fight the old Kessler's fight and he'll beat Green up.

    But who was Kessler facing before?

    He's now facing tougher opponents than he did before. Calzaghe schooled him from round 5 onwards. Kessler fought flawed partly because he is. I still give a good chance of winning this though.

    Kessler was in the fight with Calzaghe for 6 rounds and then Joe pulled away. Kessler is not normally a technically flawed boxer. Kessler has beaten good opposition... Not great, granted. But to tell me that his normal style wouldn't have beaten Froch would be crazy. Jermain Taylor was beating Froch pretty handily before he ran out of steam in the championship rounds. It's fact that a technical boxer is Carl Froch's cryptonite.

    For however bad Kessler looked he still beat Froch comfortably and as the fight wore on he let his hands go more which makes me think hes getting over the nerves, Green isnt that great and Kessler will look even better, he will start sharper from the first bell unlike here where it too half the fight.

    The thing is, alot of people here think Froch is powerfull, quick and has good stamina, well Kessler has just proved how good his chin, stamina and how hard he is to just keep fighting and going forward.

    Your kidding yourselves if you think a fighter who was bullied by Miranda will have a chance against someone shos just come through a war with the divisions hardest puncher and most awkward fighter and who has the best stamina.

    Green will be target practice for Kessler, he will give Kessler 3 points and more srpness and confidence. In fact after he beats Green, the other fighters in the tournament will not be wanting to face him.

    Kessler going for broke in the last round was something to see, from a man who was coming off a bad loss, against a man recieving all the acolades it was impressive
