    Mikkel Kessler wasn't at his best either, he hasn't been the same since before the Joe Calzaghe fight. I really don't know how anyone had Carl Froch winning either, it was a closish fight but Mikkel Kessler still won a clear decision.

    And i know punchstats don't always tell the whole story, but the punchstats agree with what i see. Mikkel Kessler was the aggressor landing more punches, where as Carl Froch was cautious landing one punch at a time mostly, until he upped it somewhat in the later rounds. Also Mikkel Kessler was able to rock/hurt Carl Froch, Mikkel Kessler never appeared hurt in the fight.

    Kessler - Total Thrown: 765, Total Connects: 147 (19%)
    Froch - Total Thrown: 546, Total Connects: 98 (18%)

    Kessler won the first in my opinion, very hard to predict how he'll return though after the time out. As others said, Froch has grown and learnt from previous fights, and the activity in itself will be a huge bonus and boost. Especially if he won the super six, confidence would rocket.
    Regardless of Kessler's inactivity and such I'm sure it'd be a close and hard to call fight. Would like to see it, Carl seems the hungry sort that that would love to get rid of the blemish on his record.

    Personally, Kessler was for me the best super middleweight before his fight again Calzaghe. And even if most analyst find Kessler too predictable, I'm pretty sure 2011 will be a great year for him. So I'll go with Kessler by KO in the late round if he were to fight Froch again.

    Froch wins a fairly close UD, something like 116-112, just like he should have last time.

    Froch is certainly better than I gave him credit for but I think Kessler is a much tougher matchup for him than Abraham and he wins another clear UD.

    I don't remember either fighter being hurt at all, but I could be wrong.

    I know for a fact Froch has really worked on his swimming since the first fight , so he wins the return easily.

    You guys are such idiots honestly, i never said swimming makes you a good boxer. I said i do that as a part of my workout, yet you guys twist it round to anyway you feel like. Normally i just ignore it, but its pissing me off your doing Dark Lord Al, you repeat yourself all the time.

    Get a new line and get off my back and worry about yourself, your constantly having digs at me first it was child thing years ago. Or im too young to appreciate old boxing or know anything about it, now this just fuck off mate seriously.

    Kessler looked in trouble in the last round IMO.

    If Kessler is in a good shape, I would say another UD over Froch in a competitive close fight.

    Im not debating this again i really haven't got the time or energy, you bring this up alot. And i've already showed you time and time again why i had Mikkel Kessler winning, i didn't think it was that debatable.

    It was a closish fight but Mikkel Kessler edged it for the majority of the boxing fans, Carl Froch simply didn't work hard enough end of.
