Alright Joe. Andre Ward is going to be scared to fight an inferior version of a boxer he comprehensively beat. Makes a lot of sense. :good
Kessler seemed more susceptible to catching jabs when he fought Green than he has done previously in his career, which makes a rematch with Carl not as straightforward as some people might have you believe when they say Kessler by UD, as they've shown they dont mind going toe to toe with each other in there first fight, and I think Froch may well have too much for him this time, but really that is still a pick 'em fight. Froch vs. Kessler II at the city ground would be absolutely mental, i'd definitely be getting ringside tickets. The atmosphere at the Bute fight was unbelievable and honestly I think that also had a little bit of an effect on Bute during the fight, maybe that could happen to Mikkel too. Either way, i'll be ****ing buzzing if it happens.
No, he's going to be scared of a new and improved version over the rusty and stiff one he faced but still one that is shot compared to the prime one, ya dig? :deal
I still have Kessler on points - but it will be close again and in the UK it might swing the other way. I don't see Froch's style changed - and I see Kessler getting a bit better to read a fight although he has lost a little speed. I think we'll see a replica of the first fight - but not much have to change for a new winner. But remember Kessler is no Bute - Kessler has fought several times away from home and he has both heart and chin - So Froch wouldn't be able to "run him over" like he did Bute. But I agree on the many comments - that we all win in such a fight. And it proves that you don't have to win them all for people to want to watch you fight ... Which fight in SMW in the US have ever had the atmosfere of Froch-Bute or Kessler-Froch???
It was tight as hell the first time round, and Kessler clearly inspired during rough patches with the awesome support of the crowd. Without it, and with Froch getting the same in turn, I'd be backing the Cobra. Seems a really obvious fight to make - first one was a tremendous battle and the repeat or revenge angle. Hope they do it.
Of course they will - they both wants the fight - both aren't getting any younger and the most important reason - It's the biggest paying fight in SMW since Calzaghe-Kessler in Cardiff.
