The rematch, Carl Froch - Mikkel Kessler 2 fight chat thread - Warriors Call !!!

[beenKOed]

Iv just rewatched the first fight and Froch lost it by not working enough. Kessler is consistant in his work rate and that will always be the difference. Kessler opens himself up to be hit more but thats because hes more active and took the initiative and had Froch on the backfoot for most of the fight.

He will outwork Froch again. Kessler isnt an untested weak chinned fighter like Bute and Mack. Iv said it before but his last 2 fights havent shown us anything we didnt already know, other than maybe prove that Bute was protected. Kessler fought Green where Green said he was comfortable and stronger, weight wise and then Magee who was on a good run of form but stopped him faster than anyone else could have, walked through him. Froch stopped Bute who had already been KO'd by Andrade and then fought a weight drained Mack.

Same outcome again, Kessler on points or maybe if Froch starts faster as I think he will, he will tire earlier and may get stopped. He did slow down in their last fight without being too agressive. If he starts faster here and slows down sooner and Kessler is still good to go he will be in trouble because Kessler will try and stop him.

This fight is a hard one to call, both of these guys are fierce, tough competitors--some question Kessler's toughness but I don't--who always come expecting to win.
I can't pick a winner and like everyone else, I have been waiting and waiting. I'm looking forward to a hard fought battle.

I think Kessler wins this on points but I'm going to predict that Froch gewts the decision.

Now that you have convinced me that you are not Carl Froch Tam, will you be going to the fight or PPV to watch it?

I wanted to go to the fight, but no joke I was asleep all day and the tickets sold out by the time I was up. I am just going to watch it with all of my uni mates, it's one of my last weekends in Leeds before I move home so it will be a special occasion!!

I keep looking for last minute tickets on ebay but for me to come from Guernsey id want 2 nights over there at least, probably 3, plus the ticket and ferry, food, drink, shopping etc blah, blah, blah, all of a sudden its a £1500 weekend and then there is no guarantee the fight will actually happen, if either fighter gets hurt, the venue burns down any stupid thing...

I saw an advert or clip for some boxing show before, in the o2 and there are people sat in the front seats and cunts in front of them are stood up jumping around. Id be a bit fucked off to spend all that cash just to have some thick, ignorant cunt act like a twat in front of me and ruin my night when I can sit in the comfort of my own home and watch it. That one clip ruined it for me. Id love to go and watch it live but bit pointless buying tickets in the front if even then you aint gonna see it!

Have seen some tickets available for the "Sky bar" im presuming thats like a hospitality thing sky has and it looks miles from the ring in the pictures but its an unobsured view but still, watching it on the TV, ill actually be able to make out whos who.

Kessler vs Froch Rematch: WBA Appoints Their Officials - Boxing News

The winner has to fight Ward in a rematch according to this.

I thought Froch won last time and I think he should win again. He has been at the peak of his career and I think Kessler is on the slide. I wouldn't be surprised to see either guy win though. It should be a fantastic fight.

Kessler vs Froch Rematch: WBA Appoints Their Officials - Boxing News

The winner has to fight Ward in a rematch according to this.

Only if they want to still be involved with the WBA. There are going to be other bigger momey options available to them like Hopkins, Bute, Pascal, Cleverly. All meaningless fights but all will generate more money and they are both in the twighlight of their careers, they want to earn while they can.

Neither should fight him unless he fights them in their country, fuck Ward, hes still a nobody. Kessler and Froch are the ticket sellers of the division not Ward. Every fight hes had has been in America, even during the super 6 when every one of the other fighters travelled.

Although I will say if they want to do that then this may be as good a time as any to sign up as Ward hasnt fought since last September and then it was someone who couldnt offer a challenge. Draining them down from light heavy. Froch and Kessler would have taken less than half the time to stop that Dawson.

I think Kessler won the 1st fight quite clearly although it was somewhat close, but based on form you'd have to go for Carl Froch.
