    Think this will definitely happen now. Froch will want it, that loss still niggles. Plus I think he wins the rematch. Should be easy to make as well.

    That version of Froch beats the Kessler from the Green fight. No doubt in my mind

    Where does the fight take place, im not so sure Kessler would be so keen to face Froch in Britian, its not about being scared but looking at things objectively their isnt much chance of him getting a decision.

    I think if the terms were right, Kessler would come over here, say at the City Ground. That or neutral turf, in the states.

    Carl's the champ now. He can dictate terms.

    Id possibly back Kessler to be victorious again on home or neutral ground, hate to say it but if the fight happened in Britian its unlikely Kessler would be leaving with a decision, the atmospere last night was tremendious and makes it very difficult to score to away fighters. Kessler knows that and so does his promotional team, i doubt they would risk letting the fight happen over here.

    I think if Kessler wants the fight, he'll have to fight Carl in the UK this time, I also think Carl will beat him this time. Quite wide on points, when he listens to McCracken he is so much better.

    This fight ain't happening unless Kessler plans on coming back down to SMW. Froch will not go up in weight, (Eddie has said that).

    For the record, I think Kessler is shot. Hs ready to fall. Froch will KO him

    Kessler weighed under 170 against Green so making SMW is doable. I happen to agree, I think Kessler is faded. Kessler wouldn't be able to take the heat Froch was dishing out last night.

    Why would they fight in Norway? The scoring in the first fight was hardly controversial, one card was too wide but the other two were pretty much spot on. I'm not sure the fight will happen though, there are some decent and potentially winnable fights at light-heavy for Kessler and he's been known to be pretty tight at 168 for a while so not sure he'd want to fight in England at a weight that compromises him. It's not like he has any real problems generating money on his own.

    This would be great in Nottingham.

    Probably be FOTY as well.

    This is the fight to make :yep

    First one was a war and quite close (I had Kessler winning it by a point or two). With it being in Denmark last time, let's have the rematch in Nottingham :bbb

    Eddie needs to make a big offer to secure this.
