Kessler looks

to be in better shape than he was against Ward.Also Kessler looks bigger than Froch.This suprises me as I thought that Froch was actually a little taller.Both fighters look to be in shape.Can’t wait !!! I would like to see Froch and Ward fight even if one or both don’t make the final.

It's not a matter of "IF" the North will break you.It's a matter of "WHEN" the North will break you.For up here every year counts as two on the outside.
