    Wow - Kessler is a G if that is true. Honorable and ballsy, but perhaps not the most clever decision.

    Very very very few fighters through-out history has given a rematch in the opponents backyard.

    Just seen this too. Cannot wait, should be even better than last time both guys are in better shape and better form. Kessler had his eye problems and Froch had injuries and distruptions travelling to Denmark going into the 1st fight. Should be very close again but I can see Froch edging it on the judges' cards in the UK.

    Massive props to Kessler. His body has been on a long decline and he's just accepted to take on an opponent, that he's already beaten and is under no pressure to face, in his back yard.

    Froch by late stoppage. Kessler's skin won't hold up.

    Winner to get a rematch against the big dog when he returns from shoulder injury.

    Boxing may have made some recently good matchmaking but let's not forget a robbery very possible and has already happened. It will still not reach Mma standards. Bisping is a bigger draw then froch

    You think Bisping could draw 10s of 1000s to a stadium in England?

    With a PPV built around him?
