    Kessler vs Froch 2

    Do you think this could possibly ever happen? Either through permutations in the Super Six or afterword - though I guess the question is, how much they will have left?

    I'd certainly like to see it :happy, though think Froch needs to change his plan a little, if it ever was to happen.

    Shame, as would like to see them go at it again.


    Hopefully, it would bring some revenue too, so there might be a call for it.

    I'd have it 65 -35 Kessler, though I do feel that in some ways Froch could hang it all on the line again tommorrow, but Kessler went to one off levels of 110... it seemed all or the end for him.

    Think Froch needs to try and back up Kessler most the fight if he can, be the aggressor, impress judges that way, to counter points given to Kessler being naturally the busier.

    stop talking **** mate. Rob mckraken (spelt right?) is quality, and got froch through his fight with taylor.
    as someone said in another thread, what carl needs to do now is be willing to take on board advice, and put it into practice more

    I don't think Froch will live with himself if he doesn't get another crack at Kessler somewhere down the road. He's not type to let things lie like this he will do all he can to get Kessler back in ring just one more time.

    He would be heading back to Denmark if he fought him again, at least he would if he stayed with his existing promoter...:yep

    If he got a new promoter he could get this fight in England, he should sign for Hatton or FW should he move on...:good

    Exactly, everrything McCracken has said has been above board, and i think he's the only one who's come close to stating the reasons Froch didnt get the decision, so obviously thats what he's gonna work on.

    I'm sick of the bad rep british trainers get on here, sure we've got some crappy one's, but the like of the Ingles, Tibbs, and even McCracken now etc are a match for anybody in the world.

    From a financial point of view you could make an argument for both fighters pulling out of the Super6 and getting the re-match on straight away...given the type of person that Froch appears I think that he would do anything to make the fight happen.

    I think Rob's only blame in all of this is fact he is now training at Sheffield with young olympic hopefuls and i think Froch trained there with him to lighten the load and thought it would do him good. I think if it ain't broke don't fix it..he should of trained back in Ireland like he normally did but other then Froch maybe training at amateur pace i think Rob cannot be blamed he gives fantastic advice.

    But...i do sense he cannot control Carl, i think maybe there a bit to much like Friends and that could be why Froch at times does not listen at all. But i get impression Froch wouldn't listen to Angelo Dundee Manny Steward etc.

    Yea he does seem like a bit of a hard head, and even in that interview of him, i think cos of his natural nervous tension, he doesnt hear everything thats said in the corner.
    But its obvious from the 360 programme that he seemed to enjoy training with the youngsters, and some of the hunger rubbed off onto him.

    Now if only next time they caught the vandlas who keyed his car, i'm sure his mind would be on training a little more.
