I think Kessler is starting to show the wear and tear of a hard career and I expect Froch to nick it this time and maybe even stop Kessler if the first round with Green is anything to go by.

As you can see, its not that people dont appreciate fighters for no reason as he is getting his plaudits now, now he deserves them.
Unfortunately for Froch I dont think he was robbed against Kessler, I think Kessler will always beat him as Kessler is sharp and can meet him head on in a brawl.
On the other hand, there is a part of me that believes if he were to push himself against Ward the way he did against Bute that he could beat Ward. Bika made it very uncomfortable for him by just working and swinging. I think Kessler and Froch both just took too long looking and thinking. Just get in there and work.
Isaid before the Bute fight that Frochneedsto forget about loading up and trying to be strong and powerfull and just throw and land, just work and start soon, which he did. If he did this against Ward it would be a much closer fight.
I always knew the cobra would be a world champion and win some major fights, did I expect him to perform as well as he has ? Probably not, but thats a full credit to Froch because he is a dedicated fighter who has trained his arse off and put in 110% into his fights. He is being rewarded with his hardwork and what he has put into the sport and this is why is the number 2 ranked fighter in the weight class. I cant wait for him to go to war with Kessler again, and trust me, this time Frochy is coming away the winner ;D
Not sure yet who I think will win but it'll be the one heck of a fight.
It's a good number for both of them because it's a guaranteed FOTY contender and Froch will probably win a close one, setting up a rubber match somewhere neutral. It shouldn't be too hard to convince enough Brits and Danes to fill a big arena to spend the weekend in Amsterdam.
With the new no dope for foreigners rule coming in, Amsterdam may not be as appealing to some anymore.Quote:

It's a stupid law though, they are shotting themselves in the foot because it will just encourage a blackmarket and will ruin tourism. Its similar to alcohol probation, everyone smokes weed anyway and doing something like that isnt going to solve the problem it will just make it illegal. That's why I don't understand the laws in the UK, it's aQuote:

Smoking pot can lead some people to mental illness. Ask Spicoli. :)
It does in some people's cases it's just a lot of my good mates do it and they go to Amsterdam a lot and they are a bit angry with the new laws coming into place. I don't see why it's that bad to be honest, I just hear them moaning a lot about it.Quote:

Apparently a bute rematch might happen early 2013 and Kessler talks are still on going.
Cannabis does affect you in various ways. It causes short-term memory loss, and even worse -- short-term memory loss.Quote:

Great fight
