Hearn says in his latest iFILM interview that Kessler is his number 1 choice, which is disappointing enough when you consider how very few on here want it. What really annoyed me was how he justified it, by admitting that it isn't the fight the hardcore fans want.
Kessler again is absolutely **** fight, pointless and not even remotely exciting. Why fight the exact same opponent again 6 months later ? It should be Ward or Groves/Degale there aren't any other fights for Froch.
Hearn is relying on all the dumb fans - who are too brainless to know better - jumping on the bandwagon and convincing each other what great fights the previous two were and being oblivious to the fact that Kessler can't hurt Carl or outwork him. He's taking a risk though, because once the penny drops for a few that a third fight actually won't be that good, then it will catch on like wildfire.
I havnt even seen the second fight so Im sure as **** not interested in a third. If not Ward or Hopkins theres some good fights for Froch if he moves up in weight,even if he can drop down to middleweight theres some quality fights against the likes of Golovkin. Froch Kessler 3 makes me shudder,sounds like Matchroom just being lazy.
Because of Ward's shoulder injury everyone seems to accept that if Froch were to fight him, it won't be until next summer. I want to see Froch against Chavez Jr or Golovkin. GGG will be shown on SkySports this weekend which will be some good exposure to the British audience, he's a fan friendly world champion who won't ask for a massive cut! He has said he will move up in weight to fight Carl, I think he would be comfortable at the weight. The fight would sell here or Vegas...it will be an awesome spectacle! Hearn don't mug us and the casuals off! There will be a backlash if Kessler is announced as Carl's next opponent.
Hell no, kessler is shot to **** these days and fighting on heart. a prime kessler schools froch better then the first fight (which i thought kessler won clearly). Im english and a former froch fan who has got tired of his arrogance... there is a good type of swaggy arrogance then there is the **** twatty bitter type which froch has lol.
Heres what I would rather see : George Groves Vs Sakio Bika - WBC Super Middleweight Title Carl Froch Vs Thomas Oosthuzien - IBF/WBA Super Middleweight Title James Degale Vs Robert Stielglitz - WBO Super Middleweight Title Andre Ward Vs Marco Antonio Periban - Tune Up fight / Possible Upset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nathan Cleverly Vs Sergey Kovalev - WBO Light Heavyweight Title Jean Pascal Vs Lucien Bute Bernard Hopkins Vs Karo Murat - IBF Light Heavyweight Title Adonis Stevenson Vs Tony Bellew - WBC Light Heavyweight Title Mikkel Kessler Vs Juergen Braehmer - WBO Light Heavyweight Eliminator
I don't really see the need, i think Froch will take the rubber match. Kessler is a warrior but shld hang 'em up he has nothing left to prove his time has passed...
