KESSLER OR FROCH?

This should be an easy pic but Froch always seems to find a way to win. No matter how ugly he looks in the ring flailing away with his wild punches, he still get the job done. There are some questions to ask of both fighters before you pick the winner. Many think that Froch talks too much and has his mind on other things (Calzaghe). He always does this before, during, and after a fight. It is part of who he is, it is how he pumps himself up, or tries to sike the other guy out. I would only be worried and think something was wrong if he wasn't talking trash, or being a loud mouth. He is so wild you would think he would get caught by a technical boxer, but he really hasn't, yet. Mikkel Kessler on the other hand looked slow, and old in his last fight against Andre Ward. In the sport of boxing you can get old in one night. Did Kessler get old in the ring on the night he fought Ward? Or, was Ward just that quick, and overall better than him. I'm not sure which one it was, probably a little bit of both. Froch brings tremendous pressure and every swing he takes is with ill intent. If Kessler can get his jab working early and gain Froch's respect early he can win an easy fight by just out boxing the Brit. If he folds however, it wont be pretty for Kessler. Froch will destroy him with his power if he can break the pressure with his jab. I think if Mikkel can resemble his former self even a little he will win. He fought a good fight against Joe Calzaghe, and Froch is no Calzaghe. I know, I know it was a long time ago, but I think he can do it. He is looking to prove himself in there after his last one-sided loss in the tournament. I think he is good enough to KO Froch but he will probably win a decision. Even though Froch got the win in his first fight in the tournament against Andre Dirrell he looked horrible,and most thought he lost. I think Kessler will get back to his original form and win a split decision against Carl. I think this fight can go to either man and it will go to the man who wants it the most. I am going to say that this will be the most action packed fight in the tournament thus far, Kessler will pick up the points in a close and probably close win.
