    It seems they make it a 51-49 fight, with Kessler fancied more on points..... even on the stoppage.

    I might sign up to Skybet and stick a few £ on Kessler win only.

    They are currently offering the best odds at 5/6, 4/5 William hill and 4/6 Paddy power.

    I haven't used them for a few years, I used to think their odds rubbish, perhaps they have picked up.

    I'll be using one of the exchanges anyway.

    The best price for Froch is currently is 11/10

    :lol::lol: Can you be my bookie?? Your percentage is under 100 meaning we can back both fighters and still win with you :patsch

    Example:
    600 on Kessler at 4/6 wins you 400 plus your outlay = 1000
    300 on Froch at 5/2 wins you 750 plus your outlay = 1050

    You invested 900 and receive back 1000 or 1050 respectively

    Now i know we haven't incorporated the draw, so for interest sake a draw in this type of event is 20/1 chance...... meaning a 50 investment will win you 1000 and recieve 1050 on the bet.

    Your total outlay is now 950.
    With all 3 options in access of this figure.

    Perhaps it's the way that he seems to win whatever!

    I think this is Froch's fight!

    But I'm there to be proved wrong.

    I will be lumping on a froch win and I promise you if he doesn't I will do my crying on ESB!

    Come on the Cobra

    Lets go to war!!!!!!

    Then i've got good news for you! Open an account with Betfred and you can get 4/5 Kessler, Evens Froch and 25/1 the draw. I guess from a value perspective the guy predicting 5/2 Froch on this post would be the best place to place a bet:).

    Kessler has to be the favourite. He struggled with Wards movement and that is not something Froch brings to the table. It should be a classic as neither fighter will have to go looking for the other. Both have great chins so anything could happen.

    I'm hoping Froch can do it rather than expecting it.
