From the S. The gall of this Kessler wanting a rematch in HIS hometown again!! Does he not know his place? Froch is 2nd only to Ward and have already accommodated Kessler the 1st time by fighting in his hometown. Its only fair Kessler should come to England to prove himself.
Kessler is saying: You want to revenge that loss against me, come and get me. You want me more than I want you so come and get it. Also Kessler is the bigger draw, and doesn't have to "prove it" anymore by traveling outside. And Froch called Kessler not the other way around.
Here's an idea have the fight in Vegas or Atlantic city and promote it as an eliminator to face Ward. Hell I guarantee HBO will air it.
Why would 2 euros want go to the USA to fight in front of 14 people? you guys are the shitest fans in boxing how many were at ward v Dawson again?
why should mikkel kessler come to england?......:think Does carl froch not know his place?........ kessler is 2nd only to Ward and has already beat him Took his 0 and his belt:happy
Kessler has right to believe that he is 2nd best behind Ward. this whole "no fight at your place, just fight at our place" thing is pretty ironic
I had the first fight a draw. Tbh both guys have belts, both belong in the top 3, both ultimately wanna earn a rematch with ward. It is clear though that froch needs it more hence Kessler can make demands.
Shut the **** up you twat. Kessler should fight Carl in Nottingham, and honor him like Froch honored him by going to Denmark with the WBC belt. Nobody should defend this move by Kessler... **** SAKES.
Froch took his WBC belt to Denmark, to fight Kessler. Why can't Kessler take his bogus thing to Nottingham and challenge a LEGITIMATE champion? Bull**** I tell you.
Well obviously. Kessler already mauled Froch and is his daddy. The Daddy shouldn't have to travel to the challengers back yard.
Only, Carl Froch is the actual champion, and was the WBC champion when he fought Kessler the first time around. People like you disgrace the sport.
Neither owes a fight with the other. But by virtue of holding a W over Froch, Kessler knows he has it over Froch and like the average guy holding the cards he wants to use the bargaining power he has. It's no different than Ward not wanting to go outside of America, or Klitschko throwing in a brother clause or Braddock...throwing in a brother clause. They use what they have to get the best deal they can. If Kessler has a lot of nerve, so do one hell of a lot of the sport's stars in my lifetime, Leonard, ODLH, Mayweather, Pacquiao, etc, with location, glove size, weight class, referee choice, TV option, etc. I'd love to see Kessler come to Nottingham, of course, but this is the business. Take it or leave it. And Froch is well within his right to do either.
The first fight was very close, Kessler only just beat a Froch, so a home town advantage may very well be crucial in terms of the outcome of the rematch. Kessler is within in rights to make this demand, he did win the first fight and he knows Froch has no fear of travelling so believes if he holds out he will most likely get his way. Fact is the way they were both dominated by Ward there is little pressure on Ward to face either of them. They both need this rematch to get another shot at Ward. Hopefully they can come to a compromise.
