It's 55-45 in the favour of Carl Froch, should the fight take place in Nottingham. In Denmark I'd have it the other way around.
Kessler needs to be a little bit more aggressive then their last encounter, and he needs to do the bodywork as he did in last their last outing. That really drained Froch. By the way why isn't Kessler getting more respect? He has lost two fights in his career - both to undefeated fighters, who are both p4p-top 5 material. And he has beaten another who some have in the top 10. And when he was injured and had to retire from the S6 he vacated his WBC-title and now he looks set to go to Nottingham. The sign of a true champ, really. Just for the sake of it: I really like Froch. He is a true champ as well who has gone on the road and has fought the very, very best. Better fighters than Kessler, if I'm honest. |

I think The Netherlands is geographically the best neutral place if they want it. Or in Germany with AA fighting in the same card. That would be a huge event. |

This is THE fight as far as i'm concerned. Fuck Mayweather vs Pacquiao and all the bollocks that goes with it, this is a fight between two iron-chinned warriors who never disappoint, and will fight anyone, anywhere, anytime, no questions asked.
Mikkel Kessler is one of my favourite fighters but Froch arguably is my favourite. It'll be hard to cheer against Kessler but it's a fight that has to happen. Their first fight was absolutely epic and really could have gone either way. Being the man that he is, Kessler will be happy to come over here given the fact that Froch went to Denmark despite being the champion at the time. Unless i'm working, I will 100% be ringside for this, regardless of the cost. Let's get it on! |

The man went to Wales to fight the greatest Super-Middle ever when he was undefeated unified champ, he went to Oakland to fight undefeated Ward with his own belt and he entered the Super Six despite not having to when he was the #1. Kessler is a credit to the sport, and if he comes to Nottingham that will only show this further, whether he wins, loses or draws. |

good fight for both. i dunowho will win bt what I can say is the UK has the best smw's of all time (remember Kessler is half English).
Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Steve Collins (Irish), Richie Woodhall, Robin Reid, Rob McCracken, Joe Calzaghe, Mikkel Kessler (half English), Jeff Lacy (English parents), Michael Watson, Carl Froch and now James DeGale and George Groves coming throgh. This has always been a great division for us. |
