    You all know. Britian has THE worst quick stoppages i've ever
    witnessed in boxing. An away fighter gets stunned by a shot
    or the home fighter is wailing away without hitting anything
    but gloves and arms and some fatass ref stumbles in and calls
    a halt. i'm hoping sauerland has taken the precaution to get
    a non british ref and preferrably a high profile american based
    guy like a smoger or bayless to do this fight, so this BS doesn't
    mare this great fight. And, may the best combatant win.

    Not going to pretend we dont have a problem with this issue, the britsh board of control dont seem all that willing to use more officials and create a bit of competition between the officials. I see that as the only way these poor officials are going to be either rooted out or forced to improve.

    Well, good point but i don't see the BBBc having all the say
    in a fight of this magnitude of the officials involved. no way
    Kalle, with his juice, would let kessler go in there with a british
    ref, and even 1 of the judges hailing from england. No fookin
    wayyyy, laddy.

    Sucks when egos get in the way. I really hope the whole fight is just a good old fashion throw down. :D

    i'd actually like to see Kessler work on the new things that
    montoya as been teaching because he's fast enough to try
    it on Froch. Froch has great timing and instincts but kess'
    speed advantage allows him to think more in there and for
    1 would love to see him do it. This fight is for kessler to win
    or lose.

    British stoppages normally happen in fights where one guy is over matched so I do not think you will see it tonight.

    To be honest home advantage is crucial anywhere in the world with regards to judging and officiating and is not something that is exclusive to Britain.:lol:

    The defining factor is certainly how much Kessler has left.:good

    That's what i think. I'm not buying this BS about Froch improving.
    He's def more seasoned because he's fought at a higher level
    recently but Kessler's also very seasoned, just got there before
    the cobra. If kessler's been implementing in sparring what montoya's
    been teaching then Carl's in a world of **** and will be beaten up
    in a fight he's favored to win. The IF is can kessler keep focused
    and not get dragged into a brawl like in the 1st fight.

    I disagree, i think Froch has improved, he learnt a lot in the Ward fight and without covering what i said in IB's prediction thread he has stopped loading up on single punches. As you have just touched upon the combinations Froch now throws may actually be detrimental if he gets timed with with the punched that Montoya has added to Kesslers arsenal. I still favour Froch to be too fresh for a shopworn Kessler but hey they don't call it a 50/50 fight for nothing and i can see a number of outcomes for this fight.:good
