Who have you all got in the rematch? I am so excited for this one, it's going to be one of the best rematches to be in the world. I think Froch wins this time around, he was so impressive last time out, and I think if he can knock Kessler down like Green did he would capatalise and stop Kessler. They are both warriors though and no doubt it will be another war.
I think if Froch wins, there should be a third fight in a neuteral ground to settle the score.
I actually think froch will stop him this time. A realistic round would be 9!!
Kessler was so tired at the end of the first fight and was wobing everywhere. If froch just fought smart he woulda done it.
I think Kessler wins again. Hes too sharp for Froch and hes not scared of a fight.
I can't wait for this fight, Froch will be so up for it. competitiveness oozes from him, you know he would be pissed of if he never got another crack before he retired.
Not sure how to word this but I hope the Bute fight didn't flatter him. Bute was undefeated and a lot of people were raving about him but Froch demolished him, they looked levels apart....and that's what they were, levels apart. Bute was out of his depth. This isn't a case of me being wise after the event and trying to look like an expert. It was clear to see that to some extent Bute had been protected slightly.
Froch didn't look that good against Ward (who would) he looked very slow and easy to hit. Bute was tailor made for him, after the fight some people were saying that Froch could be on the decline. I don't think we can tell just yet.
Also look at the Mosley v Margarito fight, it was an amazing performance and everyone was saying Mosley was back to his best but it turned out that Margarito was the right opponent at the right time. (was still a great performance regardless)
I have Froch v Kessler as a 50-50. Kessler hasn't done much since he left the Super 6. I think these 2 will gel nicely once again for a close tough fight. Will go with Froch winning a close-ish but deserved decision. Hopefully he will have better defence and head movement. (I say this every time Froch fights lol)
I always go against Froch thinking time will catch up with him. Plus I just want his Mrs to shut her trap...
However, this time I'm backing Froch to deliver the goods. Redemption.
This will be awesome..Frochs resume just goes from strength to strength..
I know who the winner will be, me :D For getting to watch a great fight.

Froch by tko
Ive watched froch kes 4 times I was drunk the first and i thought kes had won
i was sober the next 3 and i struggle to see how he did win
i think in a drunken haze i saw kes coming forward a bit more and pinning froch in corners
and when you watch it back the times he did have froch in the corners he didnt land
the rounds were close but I think froch won the fight by at least a couple of rounds
this time in england it will be a froch win, probably by UD maybe by KO
A massive fight that hopefully this time gets shown in the States on HBO or SHO.
First one was on sho. First one was close but I had kessler edging it, felt like froch left to much in the tank. I expect a really close fight again and while both got good power they also both have solid whiskers so I see it going 12 again, can't really pick em.Quote:

I am glad a lot of people are behind Froch he finally is getting the support he deserves from this forum, it's good I am not the only one who believes in his ability. I think Kessler owes him this rematch and owes it to Froch to come over and fight in the UK. If Froch does win as I was saying before I think he would owe it back to Kessler to have a third fight in a nueteral zone.
Either way, these two are great fighters and any time they would fight it would be entertaining for the fans, you just know they would provide us all with a war.

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 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.

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:

Cannabis does affect you in various ways. It causes short-term memory loss, and even worse -- short-term memory loss.Quote:

Great fight
