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

[Rantcatrat]

Everyone on that roundtable picked Froch. Calzaghe made a good point though, Kessler was down against Allan Green, before he knocked him out. That's somewhat disturbing, going into a fight against Froch, who can punch. Moreover, Kessler is fighting in Froch's backyard now, so another close fight, and this time it's likely going to Froch. Froch has never been stopped. Froch is hungrier because he has something to prove. Kessler already has one win over him. Everything points to Froch winning. Still, it's a close fight on paper, and history has shown that usually the guy who wins the first time, wins the second time. I lean toward Froch by KO.

I think youll find they were being diplomatic but listen to the man that actually fought Kessler and he warns them not to overlook Kessler because hes a big puncher.

Collins seemed a bit blinded by the Bute result similar to people in here. Do they forget that Kessler had already beaten Froch? Coming off a crap performance against Kessler he still managed to neat Froch by scrapping rather than using his jab.

Manny Steward said that in 80 or 90% of rematches the better boxer wins. I think Kessler edges it but Froch gets a decision, setting them up perfectly for a big money rubber match.

Notice, he doesnt want any part of Kessler.

In fact, its like he never even watched the first fight, or even knows they have already fought because hes saying stuff like Frochs speed and his activity. His activity? He landed a grand total of 98 punches against Kessler!

I am seriously wondering whether he has got them mixed up...

Kessler don't bring him British PPV money.

Neither does Froch.

Last time Kessler fought in the UK he had over 50 thousand people in a stadium watching him.

When Froch fought Bute in one of his biggest fights, in the uk he did it in an arena that only holds 9000. Kessler is better known in the UK than Froch is.

yeah and the majority of those 50,000 would have been Calzaghe fans especially as the fight was in Wales. Froch is the British fighter of course hes going to be better know than Kessler. Froch-Kessler 2 could have easily sold out a 50,000 seater, but Hearn chose the o2 for an electric atmosphere.

Froch will not be better known than Kessler. Kessler fought in one of the biggest fights ever in Britain and that fight got Calzaghe the sports personality of the year. I guarantee you that if you did a survey more of the British public would know who Kessler is over Froch.

As for Hearn choosing an arena that holds less than half the attendance of the Calzaghe fight, that will not be for an atmosphere! If Hearn thought he could sell another 30000 tickets he would!

I dont agree with that, I personally reckon Froch would be better known. Hes one of the best champions Britain we have had in years and Kessler is Danish, apart from the fight he had with Calzaghe I bet not many British fans know any other fights he has had.

Hearn did say that he could have easily had a bigger stadium but chose the 02 for the atmopshere, he 100% did say that as well. I agree with him on that too, big football stadiums especially if you are at the back IMO wouldnt be that good to watch a big fight, you wouldnt be able to see the action apart from on the screen. The 02 sold out how quickly?? I bet he could have easily sold another 30,000. Froch-Kessler 2 is the biggest fight that has happened in this country for many many years !

The whole reason professional boxing exists is to make money. If he could have sold another 30000 tickets for the cheapest ticket price of £40, im really sure as a business man that Hearn purposefully turned down another £1200000! Are you mental?

Hearn would say that as the reason rather then "im not sure we would sell that many tickets"
