    Surprised to see so many going for a Froch stoppage (knocking on for half of all those who voted), I do however hope that they are right!

    I'm not sure I see it myself, not to the degree predicted here anyway.

    I would love to see Carl win but his interview on Talksport didn't inspire me with confidence. It seems like the build-up to this fight with the volcano & the judges is getting to him. I fancy the Viking Warrior will return to form on Saturday night.

    I hope my prediction doesn't come true: Kessler TKO 7

    Yeah, I thought that too.

    He's whining about no mainstream coverage and when he had the opportunity to speak on live radio yesterday he just grizzled and sounded like he couldn't be bothered.

    Can't see that winning him any new fans.

    At least you subsconsciously have a clue what is going on then, you are forgiven for your false biased views that you express.

    I hope the "personal reasons" as to why he had to wait an extra day to fly out arent anything to go by froch general demeanour running up to this fight is elss than encouraging this is usually the time we hear the old im going there to knock him out etcetc but Froch seems a bit distracted he said so himself he was switchin off mentally a bit because he thought the fight wasnt going to happen. Regardless i hope he gets his brain into gear

    Kessler wins this. Froch got a blatant gift in the Dirrell fight as we all know. Froch throws single, slow shots and plods forward. Kessler although looked terrible against Ward blocked some shots and managed to tag ward sometimes. Froch will not penetrate the guard of Kessler and will not handle not being the pressure fighter in this one. Kessler being the faster and a lot more accurate fighter in this one will take its toll on Froch as his wide looping shots get blocked and countered all night long. Frochs chin is very average as he was rocked against Pascal dropped against Taylor and rocked against Dirrell. He has looked very vulnerable of late and the step up in class is no coincidence. Kessler points or late stoppage.

    Ward actually landed punches on Kessler though.

    Kessler tooks Calzaghe's shots too and we know he hits harder than Froch for a fact.

    Froch is the brawler and Calzaghe is a boxer, people falsely associate one and not the other with power, Calzaghe is naturally heavier handed than Froch. What has Froch even done to get this reputation as a power puncher, he has worn down a few broken fighters, that is it. Calzaghe used to take quality like Mitchell out early.

    if it does go the full route i fancy a **** decision against froch, theres not many fighters win on points against german promoters, they all think theyve onlyto get to the finish to win,mind you froch was lucky to get the nod over dirrell' but im still going for froch by ko inside 6.
