    I'm no fan of Froch but does Mikkel really deserve to be as low as -157? And the unbeaten Froch a big plus money dog?

    I usually don't bet on boxing, but I bet on other sports for a living and this line being so outrageous has me intrigued. I gotta say, I like Kessler in this one and that line would seem to support my thinking. Although I was on Pavlik last weekend and we all know how that turned out, coincidentally, with a similar line.

    IMO Froch is a comprehensive schooling waiting to happen but I didn't expect it would be Kessler who did it to him. Coming off of a disappointing loss and with Froch having crazy momentum though, I definitely wouldn't have expected the line to be anywhere near this.

    What do y'all think?

    I wouldn't have Kessler a big favourite over Froch, I see this fight as very even and keep changing my mind on who will win.

    Ademek is now +100 after being -150 earlier this week. I expect Kessleers line to raise a little bit.

    Kessler is better in just about every area and needs to do something pretty stupid to lose.All he has to do is fight his usual way and it should be more than enough.

    The odds have narrowed, and Kessler is now only a very slight favorite with most bookies.

    They expect it to go to the cards and with Roger Tilleman as one of the judges everyone can smell home cooking :deal

    I'm very 50-50 on this bout, and what not happens very often is I expect whoever wins will do this via stoppage... I don't think this one will go the distance.

    I wouldnt of thought Kessler should be considered a big price fav! Coming off the back of the Ward fight, there are so many question marks over him. While many dont like Froch, he has never lost and fought Pascal, Taylor and Dirrell in his last 3 coming out on top. For me, this is a real 50/50. Only thing that will definately give Kessler the edge is home advantage.

    Dont forget Froch has to go to Denmark and there have been huge travel problems all over Europe - almost every flight across the continent was cancelled for an entire week. This means his own travelling has been disrupted, is fans might not be able to travel, and it also means that there are problems with the judges. Froch was talking the other day about the guys who are meant to be judging the fight not being able to get to Demark and Saurland bringing in three locals to judge the fight, and he wasnt happy about it...
