    What a great fight doesn't feel like ten years

    Always said this was one of the hardest fights to score

    It's crazy how fast time flies. Insane.

    I remember the build-up to this fight like it was yesterday. It was a big fight at the time.

    I thought Kessler won clearly.

    Very good fight I actually think Froch won the fight , the crowd goes mad every time Kessler gets near to Froch! I had Froch sneaking it I think it’s one of those fights where the home advantage is the deciding factor! Great fight.

    Both their fights should be cherished by proper fans. The immense respect between them in contrast to the intensity of the action. This is what sets Boxing apart from most other sports. Smack talking empty vessels maybe slavishly followed by those who believe Marvel films are real but fights and Fighters like these are the very spirit of everything that is admirable about our sport.

    Great fight. Two warriors.

    Both a class above todays SMW/MW crop.

    Absolute gent, class act and fellow road warrior Kessler gave Froch his word he would grant him a rematch on his turf (that's how real men roll) and he was true to it even though he was under zero obligation to do so and he won their first fight fair and square and as he had been for many years was racked with injuries and was past his best. He flew over to Australia for his first defence of HIS title against Mundine who was highly regarded back then even though a back injury had prevented him from being able to spar. Fought Calzaghe in Wales. Serial cheat and deck-stacker extraordinaire Dre in Oakland. Froch in England and Haussler in Germany.
