    Noticed with PaddyPower Froch is 4/9 and Kessler is 15/8.

    Kessler has a win against Froch so does he deserve to be underdog by this much?

    Probaly because everyone's lumping on froch,so odds shorten to save potential losses

    No Indication of where the fight stands

    People are sleeping on Kessler a bit because of what Froch did to Bute. If Kessler still has it and keeps a cool head, I think he can beat Froch easier than he did the first time - he's just the better boxer. Froch will need to make it rough, but then that is what he is good at ;-)

    Froch should be the big favourite, kessler hasn't done anything of note for 3 years.

    Definitely worth a bet on Kessler. There's no indication anything's changed since the first fight. Froch does what he's always done, just better. With Kessler healthy this time, I see it a close fight like the last one. Possibly a draw.

    Im leaning towards Froch, seems freshers, home advantage and is coming off better wins.

    Froch's catching him at the perfect time - on the slide (barely has any rounds under his belt over the past few years), whilst he himself is on a great run and confidence is sky high in front of his home crowd.

    So yeah, most definitely Froch should be the favourite.
