    50-50 to me at this point.

    Maybe even 65-45 Froch.


    In terms of what I want - well I'm much more a Kessler fan so obviously him winning again (and on the road, so there are no questions this time) is great ...but him losing means rubber match and my greediness as an action junkie might just give my Mikkel nut-hugging a run for its money. :thedevil1

    Respect for Froch and Kessler. These guys are true warriors and doesnt afraid of anything, unlike Mr. Andre ¨I burned my passport tehee¨ Ward who pees his pants at the mere thought of stepping out of his backyard of Joakland


    You're basically describing your average Andre Ward fight. It's good he hits like a little girl or somebody could get seriously hurt by that ****

    Is this fight for real?? Link???

    Anyways, If Froch goes into this fight with same tactic like the Bute fight, then you will see a Froch without stamina in round 5-6 and a clear UD for Kessler. Kessler will smash some body shots, and when Froch is tired arround 7, a hook or right hand will stun Froch and Kessler will after take this UD without problems.

    If Froch fights like last fight backwards, then it could be a fight like last time, and Froch winning a SD.

    Boxing matches in the UK don't commit 'robberies' worse than any other country, you don't need to knock Froch out to win in Nottingham, you just need to actually win 7-8 rounds.

    Didn't Kessler say that it's only fair to fight in Nottingham because Froch went to Denmark. Fair play to the man, I'll be there.

    Two things:

    1: Froch needs Kessler more than Kessler needs Froch

    2: Kessler makes a ton of cash at home.

    Equals:
    Froch must break the bank for a chance for revenge in Nottingham.

    It's a fight that has to happen at some point and it will - too much money in this fight for it not to happen.

    Only problem is the rematch-clause to Bute - I'm not sure Froch will win that one - I have him the favourite, but I'm not sure he'll win. Should Bute win, then gFroch isn't that interesting to Kessler - Bute/Ward will be more interesting.

    But a fight between Froch and Kessler is the best fight in SMW to be made for us as boxing fans - Two good boxers with a TV-friendly style - a controversial SD for Froch and we have a classic trilogy :)

    Kessler is not winning a decision in Nottingham so he better land a couple of those left hooks that annihilated Allan Green!!

    We've seen some corrupt scorecards in Denmark over the years - as have most other countries ... But the Kessler-Froch fight had a judge from: two from Belgium (one of them judges Froch-Dirrell aswell (had Forch winning) and one from Italy and a ref from Canada ... I don't know how much you know about geography - but none of those countries are Denmark.

    1. Not really, Froch has the much more relevant fights and more importantly wins as of late, he is justifiably #2 in the division WITH a belt, Kessler is at 175lbs, WITHOUT a belt.

    2. So? I'm sure Froch makes money at home aswell, I'm sure Bute made money in Canada too.

    Froch honored Kessler by going to Denmark in the super six WITH THE WBC BELT, now he has the IBF belt, its time for Kessler to honor him and go to Nottingham.

    No ifs and buts, thats the only way this fight should happen.
