    Not anymore since the IBF made their ruling.A presser conference is scheduled for today in Montreal to announce the fight,apperently.
    Adonis is a ***** with a dodgy background,and for once I will cheer for Froch.who I consider very ordinary Adonis can crack.-but can a big heart like Froch beat a dude with a big punch?

    IBF have said they will waive the mandatory if Carl fights Kessler, so being mandatory is really irrelevant

    If they want the Kessler fight in a stadium they can't have it until after May. Football season.

    Even if they do the football season finishes 4th of May, so they could do that if they really wanted

    Who promised Kessler? Obviously Mikkel isn't willing to travel.

    As for fighting Mack and Stevenson, who else can Carl fight? Stevenson is a solid defense.

    I don't understand why you're so against the Stevenson fight? If he as to fight Stevenson in March and Kessler in June/July, surely thats preferable to just Kessler in May?

    Whenever belts are brought up the vast, vast majority of posters on here say that they are meaningless (they are), but when Froch wants to sidestep Kessler for an easier fight he uses the belt as an excuse and all the arselickers scream Mando.

    Drop the belt Froch and fight Kessler for **** sakes.

    If that was the case then I wouldn't mind at all, but I highly doubt the fight takes place in March more likely April/May meaning no summer fight for Carl. Hearn stated in the iFilm interview that he only wants Carl to fight twice this year May and November, so if that is true then Kessler fight isn't until November at the earliest.

    Froch wont fill a stadium

    Thats all that anyone in that camp and his fans have been talking about for months. If Kessler isnt willing to travel then fight him over there.....surely this is more about redemption and legacy than it is about money and home advantage.

    I'm pretty sure Hearn will pay in the summer when he can hold it in a football stadium.
