    I was told it was a possibilty a few days ago. Apparantly the talks were been held yest so if uv read it last night or today then maybe it has been done.

    No doubt Froch will be unretired if Smith wins as this will be good enough to keep things ticking over until his "legacy" fight with Chavez.

    I expect Abraham to win more clearly this time though.

    I have no real interest in watching this again, regardless of the scoring it was still a clear win for Artur. PSJ is talking about how he can improve on what he did last time but I don't think he has that next gear. Abraham is clearly a spent force but he's still a level or two above Paul.

    I think AA would win again, but I do think Paul does deserve a rematch and another good payday, maybe he can pull it off. It was a good performance and a good fight.

    It's not as if Groves wasn't winning on points before the "2 KOs" but finally we get a start on some of the rematches of recent fights.

    Smith to win by KO.. both Povetkin/Smith knows they'll get screwed with the refs/judges if they get a rematch.. so I reckon we'll see the KO this time.

    Boring fight the first time and will be even more boring if we see it a second time around.
    AA beats him much easier the second time around In my opinion.

    Smith should just keep milking the "I was robbed" line and be happy with that, Smith was lucky to get a shot anyway, didn't do enough and seems to think he is world class now. Smith, his brothers and fans are delusional.

    He doesn't deserve a rematch because he lost! More importantly he never deserved the opportunity in the first place and it is nothing short of a disgrace that he got it.

    Deserves the rematch whether or not you think he won or lost he got screwed that night big time with the scoring and we all know it. Like paul said on one card if he had scored 3 knock downs he still would have lost. Good luck to him, it's a short career and fair play to him for taking opportunities in front of him.

    Never deserved the shot in the first place, doesn't deserve a rematch as a result of that.

    Sorry mate but you are way off. He lost a fight that was an embarrassment to the sport he got in the first place. Beating Tony Dodson after getting knocked out by Groves and Degale does not equal world title fight. Especially considering Degale still hasn't got one! The fact the scorecards were wide is irrelevant because he obviously lost.

    He should be fighting (and probably losing to) Rocky Fielding as that's his level. AA is only giving him another shot because of the Sturm-Steiglitz draw and because it is another easy cheque for him to pick up.

    A complete joke if you ask me

    It was a discredit to the sport of boxing him getting a chance to fight for the title in the first place. A shambles he doesn't even have to beat up any milkmen or postmen to get another chance this time round this makes fans lose interest
