    If Froch gets there (he needs to beat AA I believe, to do so).

    Who, second time out, do you fancy to take this one?

    For Me Froch Wins. Just feel he knows he can reverse the wrongs of the last fight and make his mark even more on Kessler. It be a tough battle yet again. For me Kessler fought the fight of his life type fight to win that.

    Nice bias Brit forum. Guy wins close but clear yet amazingly the majority think Froch wins a rematch...that makes sense

    I thought Kessler would win the first contest, and I think he would win again in a second contest.

    Kessler by wider decision this time. And don't forget, we haven't seen Froch fight since his defeat yet so it will be very interesting to see how he comes back from it seeing as he still isn't willing to admit he lost the fight.

    Someone with his ego may find it hard to come back from losing his '0'. Can't wait for the Abraham fight where we'll see what he's made of mentally.

    I thought Froch won the first fight and I think he'd win a rematch if it's in the UK.

    How does anyone think Froch had figured Kessler out by the end of the fight?

    he clearly lost the first time and, if anything, Kessler will have figured him out. And I don't see Froch beating Abraham either.

    Froch will need to get that killer instinct back. If it is he will stop Kessler if not then could be either way on points.

    Neither fighter has to figure out anything. Froch just needs to stop the body shots from Kessler and take advantage of his success which he did have in the fight. People can say he didn't but he did.

    The rematch would be a war of wills imo. Who wants it most. I could see it being even better.

    Isn't that true of any fighter who loses a competitive fight? But there's more for Kessler to work with. Froch doesn't make adjustments and Kessler did. He stepped forward and made Froch uncomfortable throughout the fight. The only times Froch had success were when Kessler allowed Froch to walk him back.

    Well, like you said it was close.

    So lets say the semi would be in a neutral location, and that gave Froch's chances a boost. Anything could happen but he'd have a great chance.

    both fighters can improve on there performance. For me Kessler fought like a man possessed. I think Froch underperformed. People can say he's **** and has no skills but he has a standard of display and he didn't meet that against Kessler. He normally thrives on having his man hurt and also thrives in later stages. He seemed to get visibly tired which i feel was down to body work. He knows he can get to Kessler.

    Kessler hurt him yes but i sat there after fight thinking what might of been. He boxed a fair bit better then normal in that fight and also showed great heart when hurt. It will be a close thrilling battle if Froch beats AA you will see a man possessed and it will be a war of wills. I fancy Froch to win. Can't see any reason why people are shocked..certainly not biased either.
