    Was Ward as high as third? Thought he would've been relatively unknown to the bookmakers and it would have been 1. Kessler, 2.Abraham, 3. Froch, 4. Taylor, 5. Ward, 6. Dirrell

    Seriously. Why do commentators, experts think it's a foregone conclusion for Froch?

    Any serious thoughts on how this is going to play out?

    I still don't know who I favour. Would give the edge to Kessler despite Froch's recent performances. Have a feeling Kessler will try and go for the body. Would love to see a master class from Froch but got a feeling we're up for a 12 round war.

    Shall be a great fight, a win for Froch will cement his place as one of the top middleweight British fighters.

    I think Froch will nick it but I don't say that with a great deal of conviction and the odds where good on Kessler so I had 100vCash on him

    I dont know, its like they disregarded the first fight and Kesslers last pretty destructive win

    Ward and Dirrell were huge outsiders!

    Never fear gentlemen, I had to burn some serious rubber and slide in sideways, but in a photo finish Pipe Wrench is HERE :guitar!!


    I have to go ahead and admit, I have chosen to root for Kessler :lol: And Im 100% sure this will be the 1st time I've ever cheered for him (and not for him to get most brutally KTFO'd :p)

    :guitar anyways, here's to an awesome fight :guitar!!

    I don't usually feel nervous before a big fight but I am now.

    Hopefully Froch doesn't get too carried away with his last few blow outs and sticks to the gameplan.

    Kessler is no Bute.

    (which is something Bute fans used to say until a year or so ago, but they meant something else completely)
