Hearn's Plan For Froch in 2013: Bute, Kessler and Ward - Boxing News

Out of the three rematches I would prefer Kessler, I think that would be the best fight for us fans to watch.

I'm not interested in this fight really. 35 and fighting Mack? It's a filler fight and Froch will win easily. A year of filler with this and the Bute rematch.

Froch will be chasing his biggest dreams as a very old man. He is wasting time.

i dont think this fight is as onesided as it sounds

if froch has one weakness its he can be outboxed and mack definately seems capable of landing more scoring shots than froch

mack has been infront in all the fights he has lost

you never know, if he can stay on his feet it could be interesting

Come on.

It is a home tide over until Bute. Nothing more, nothing less.

16-1 on is rather one sided in terms of odds and making any money.

33-1 on with some firms. That's a heavier favourite than Wlad vs Wach.

That makes me sound like a serious moderate. I should never never sound like a moderate, but in truth I always am and it is others with the issues. As ever, I am right. So stop being boring Brits trying to make a fight out of absolutely bugger all. It is simply not a very good fight.

In everyone of Mack's losses...he starts off well but eventually fades after a few rounds. I sense an early round blowout. Keep in mind Mack hasn't made 168 in 5 years, so there's a possibility he'll be weight drained.

Yes the fight is simply a keep busy fight and I'd imagine Froch would have got a better work out sparring with Bellew in the gym. However Froch as we know hasn't had the easiest of run ins and if Eddie delivers what he has said and can arrange those rematches then Froch will be up against it in all of those fights. He is getting on a bit so these more than likely will be his last. As a fan I'll still watch the fight this week and hope Mack brings his best. As long as he shows up in the early rounds to make it a contest like his other fights, im sure we will see another decent Froch knockout.

In a very odd turn of events, considering his strong pro-British stance, my opinion has come to be in line with @erics44 a number of times recently.

He's correct on multiple points: Mack has been ahead in all the fights he lost. He's also correct that Mack can box a bit and Froch has had some weakness against boxers, although he looked spectacular against Bute. However, he is a favorite here for a reason. Mack was chosen for a reason. Froch can punch. Mack has been knocked out. Do the math. The most likely outcome is Froch bombs on Mack late for a KO.

Mack isn't as tough an opponent as Grachev was for Bute, but Bute needed to get by a tough opponent mentally to prepare for Froch. Froch just needs a fight so he can stay fresh for the Bute clash in the spring.
