Kessler's very flawed performance against Carl Froch-

[Kirkland Laing]

I think it's easy to look bad against Ward and then to be facing an unbeaten world champion with an awkward style in your comeback fight isn't exactly going to be your first choice. I think it took him six rounds to get going and that the win will do him a lot of good. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets some of the way back to where he was a few years ago in his next fight but he definitely looks to be missing a step, not the same crispness or accuracy with his punches.

Well now I have a few comments...

The blueprint was out how to beat Kessler, Froch knew that and I think had Kessler tried to do the same thing again, Froch would have gotten to Kessler, the new style caught Froch by surprise, I didnt expect this either. Kessler needed something new and his shown the others that he still is a force to be recond with and with new things in the bag if the Technical doesnt work Kessler can now brawl in USA against Ward he just looked confused witout any gameplan.

Remember that Kessler has changed his coach, after 18 years with the same coach (Richard Olsen) Kessler needed something new. I agree he took many shots, but he came out from a very poor performance against Ward with very little time to adjust I didnt think he would win, e g the low profile from a fanboy

Now Kessler is in a transsionstate where he is trying to work with new things he really need in his boxinggame. In danish media he talked about getting the old Kessler back, I hope that is speed, because speed kills ya, not slow power, that was also why Calzaghe was so great he outworked everybody, and the old Kessler was very quick, he traded that away for raw power, I hope that Kessler is going for speed speed speed in the coming months.

But in the end it that was a very hard fight and my guy is still in the mix. I dont know anything about Green, but I think the Ward match will give me a few answers
