Would've been more interested in the fight if they hadn't of fought already but glad it got made instead of Stevenson.
I think more people will be interested in the fight exactly because they've fought before, and with Froch having a revenge mission. I sincerely hope so anyway, the first fight deserved much MUCH more public profile than it got. I hope they push this one hard. No tune-up fights, right? No possible obstacles?
The air of mystery is not really there and that's important for me. Both fighters are pretty rigid tactically so there isn't much intrigue for me in terms of how they'll adjust etc. We know how these two match up, and while it was a good fight, I never really been that desperate to see it again. It was also a shame the way the first fight came and went without getting the exposure it deserved and I think it would've been better from a marketing sense if this was their first fight against eachother as well. Kessler is too likeable to milk much out of the revenge angle either. Also casuals who are just starting to follow Froch since he went on Sky will be like "They fought before? Who Won?....Kessler on points? Oh....." I know, who gives a **** about casuals, but I think it would have been better all round if this was their first meeting. Their styles were always going to make for a great fight so we didn't need the first fight to tell us that.
Nottingham or the O2 I'm there! Gonna try and get some ringside tickets for this one. War Froch :happy:bbb:happy
Im there, weekend in London with the lads, be a great fight and massively anticipated by everyone in the boxing world, well apart from bonavena25
People are still tweeting thats its at Manchester Arena or O2.. Want to book hotel but not gonna til It comes from Eddie that its O2. They said details released soon at press conference. Do they mean the press conference that they've got today or a press conference soon..(as in a couple of weeks)...
another press conference the one today was for Brook I've booked hotel for London 25th May as that seems most likely, can always cancel it later
Yea, Im thinking of doing the same. Book it with a cancel option. Im gutted its not in nottingham in a way. Had a cracking couple of weekends up there.
