    The fight is just over a week away!!! I'm surprised a thread hasn't been made yet! I don't know if tickets are still available? I would suspect at this moment in time the only tickets left will be in the hands of touts. If there are any tickets still left, you've gotta be looking at the top end prices now surely?

    The fight is also live on Sky Box Office PPV which is probably your best bet now and the best seat in the house.

    ALL tickets officially sold out within 48 hours, only tickets available are ones being sold on via 3rd party sites (as you say touts)

    Looks like SBO is the ONLY seat in the house then?

    Touts will be charging unbelievable prices, some wont sell them and they'll turn up outside the O2 trying to flog them. Eddie should take a load of kids to the O2 on May 25th, employ a load of bounty hunters to snatch the tickets and give them to the kids. :good

    Fancy Froch quite strongly for this, Kesslers last 2 opponents have been beyond **** so hard to determine what he has left but imo hes not got enough left for Froch in Nottingham, voted Froch PTS on the poll but wouldnt be surprised if Froch stopped him late.

    This will be Carl Froch's last fight.

    Kessler is knocking him out, i'm absolutely convinced of that. Will do a longer post with reasons why closer to the fight.

    I'd say Kessler wins by KO between the 6th and 10th round, will be a punch out of nowhere that will flatten Froch and he'll be sprawled on the canvas and try to get up but his legs will have gone completely forcing the ref to stop the fight.

    :lol:

    And he's also got a duty of care to the fans buying tickets. I aint buying the "You can't stop touts" crap.

    You can. Make sure the ticket is computer scanned specifically with the buyer before it gets out, only they can get in with the ticket, if they try to sell it on, the person buying will know you cant get in.

    Just create accounts for each ticket buyer. It would stop the touts over a period of time, and it would be pretty quickly aswell. They can advertise it all they want, people buying will know they cant get in with it and it will nip it in the bud.

    Its a joke to see people waiting like vultures when the tickets go on sale, purely so they can sell them on for inflated prices.

    This could have been stopped a long long time ago.

    I've went for Kessler KO also.

    I think Froch is looking beyond him and it will bite him royally on the arse.

    to be honest i'd say its more down to the official ticket agencies that sell the tickets rather than the promotoer of the event.

    But they aren't going to do anything when they own the 3rd party sites that are used to tout the tickets (and then take the 10% +)

    Good pick.

    Okay i'll explain a few reasons why i feel Kessler wins by KO.

    Kessler came into the first Froch fight in terrible shape, his eyes were bad and his hands were giving him trouble...mentally, physically and spiritually he was all over the place and yet he still had enough to beat a peak in form Froch even though the fight was very close.

    This time Kessler is in far better shape and has no injuries plus he's also mentally and spiritually focused and ready to knock out Froch.

    The way to beat Froch is to stand right in front of him and get in his face not allowing him any space like Andre ward did and to a lesser extent Taylor and Dirrell also did. If you fight Froch by backing up or counter punching like Bute and Abraham tried to do he'll beat you all day as he'll just run right through you.

    As i said before KESSLER wins by KO between rounds 6-10.
