How did Kessler look, in his last fight against Green he was sluggish and didn't look the same fighter?
Hard to tell, he pretty much took Magee out quick. Wasn't great in the first but once he caught him to the body he just picked the same punch out till Magee was finished. Quality win but its hard to tell where he's at on that performance

Cheers, I always thought Magee was a bit out of his depth, either way it sets up the Froch rematch nicely.

Just watched it, I can see what you mean about it being hard to gauge where he's at, he still can punch though and work the body, which in fairness played its part in the first fight with Froch.
Still can't see past a Froch win, he has improved a hell of a lot since the first meeting.

Thought Magee would grind it out until the mid/late rounds on experience and the fact he is a bit of a road warrior, Kessler couldn't miss with his jab to the body.
Would love to see Kessler v Froch rematch take place in Nottingham just for the atmosphere, they put on a great show in Denmark but it would be wild over here.

I had a feeling that Kessler would win this match but I honestly didn't think he'd do it as quick as he did. I thought it'd actually be a close fight and go to a points decision with Kessler just edging it because of the crowd and home advantage. Kessler didn't look very impressive but done enough to get the victory and get the job done. If he fights Froch I think Froch will win comfortably and setup a unification rematch with Ward.

I'm not sure Froch has improved THAT much. Against a short-armed plodder like Abraham, he looked fine. Against Johnson he had a lot of trouble. Bute was a great showing, but obviously it was Bute's first genuine step up in class. And Mack? Well, who cares about that?
For me it's hard to look past how Kessler stepped inside Froch's preferred range, and I've not seen anything to show me Froch is any more comfortable there.

I thought the scores were pretty fair on the night though. Maybe Froch will do better in Nottingham, but he was clearly beaten for me. I couldn't see a Froch win at all.

Same here mate. Kessler won for me with the right hands to the body but it was Froch that got messed about with that ash cloud, staying in hotels away from home etc. I think they are that closely matched that the home advantage and "friendly" judges could be the difference in another close fight.
