Bute was offered a fight against Froch in England and the deal fell through for whatever reasons, the best one and the official one being that Bute still had unfinished business with Andrade. But the fight was there for Bute.
I'm not sure who's going to win it yet, but it will be a good fight, Kessler being very good but fit better for Froch than Dirrell did.
The scary thing is, I can already hear him saying it. Except the bit where he admits Kessler had been crafty - he'd just say that he wanted to hold and spoil instead of take his beating like a man. I like Carl, but I really hope he actually develops a game plan against Kessler, because he'll most likely take a hellacious beating en route to a wide points loss.
Yeah Kessler won't know what to hit. He'll be so confused by Frochs giant snout that he will be unable to mix it up and go to the body :good
He did the right thing though. The rematch against Andrade was a must. If he beats Andrade, there's always the Pavlik v. Williams winner, Chad Dawson, Stieglitz or Pascal to keep him occupied until 2012.
froch is an englishman so i gotta support him...but he is such a limited fighter. It is inevitable he will get found out in this tournement
Froch said: Its clear what Froch's gameplan for this fight is. He'll come out with a new quote every other day about what a warrior Kessler is, how he fights like a man etc, hoping Kessler will then feel obliged to live up to the warrior label that Carl has given him by fighting the fight Carl wants him to fight. For some reason though, I don't think Kessler is stupid enough to stand in front of Froch like a statue, stick his chin out and say "come on son, hit me with all you got". Kessler will outbox him I think, and Kessler will probably go from being called a warrior to being called a coward who ran. Relax Froch fans, I'm only half serious. Carl and Mikkel are apparently good friends. I can imagine Carl being on the phone to him Carl: Hey Mikkel mate, you're a proud, proud viking warrior, just like I'm a proud warrior. We're both one of a kind you and me. You're not gonna run like that ***** Dirrell, I know you're gonna stand there like a sta...., you're gonna stand there like a warrior and trade with me aren't you? Mikkel: Carl my friend, just train hard and we will see on fight night, I'm sure it will be a great fight. Carl: And mate, you've got a solid chin you have, you don't have to hide, cuz I know you can take shots just like me. I don't have no defe......I mean I don't have a need to defend myself because my chin is ****in solid as mate, and I know you aint got glass jaw either so I'm sure you won't be hiding either, stick it out like a proud warrior or else I'm ****e........or else the fans are ****ed and will get another boring fight, lets do it for them. Mikkel:......... Train hard my friend. Carl puts phone down: **** I hope that **** isn't planning on actually using his boxing ability.
Oh for **** sake, Froch, shut up! You're not getting any goddamn viewers, you've bored people to tears in your last fight and you were lucky to get the nod, stop running your mouth already, it's not working.
i dont know whats more wrong, froch beleiving he's too much for kessler or you beleiving that dirrell is actually better then kessler
