Mikkel Kessler says he will be a different boxer when he takes on Carl Froch in April with new trainer Jimmy Montoya in charge. Exclusive interview on Hatton TV from Berlin

Be very interesting to see how much Ward has softened up Kessler for Froch.

While he struggled against Dirrell I think the styles clashed too and Kessler's much more predictable and will his heart be in it so soon after the steady beating he took and Froch still has that unbeaten record which makes such a different to a figher's mindset.

Think Ward and Abraham are still the standouts in this which surprises me as really didn't expect Ward to look so good against Kessler.

love the way you added vicious then. makes it sound the dogs

Always been a fan of Kessler, but he wasted alot of time and has been one of the most poorley managed fighters of his generation. His post Calzaghe career has been a joke and his lack of activity and quality opposition cost him when he stepped in with Ward. That's not a criticism of Ward, who deserved everything he got when he beat Kessler, but its still sad to see the way Kesslers last few years have been squandered.

I believe anything close to a prime Kessler will have a field day with Froch, going straight down the middle and landing at will. Hard to predict a winner in that fight due to the question marks over Kessler now. I still wouldn't be surprised to see him come through and take Froch out in what could turn into a war. Froch has a couple of tough fights ahead of him either way.

As a British fight fan, I will be hoping Froch gets the win, but Kessler comes across so well I wouldn't be that bothered if he came back and got the win. Everytime I've seen him give an interview he has been faultless, still remember his post fight Calzaghe interview as one of the classiest interviews I've seen.

I agree with you MrBoxing, Kessler does sound a class act. Im going for Kessler to win on points by boxing and fighting with Froch
