Froch was perhaps being a bit too extreme, but it's boxing and some of them get like that. You should be looking to mess up your opponent and that's all he means. I thought he got on well with Kessler, so it just sounds strange to hear him talking like that. Froch has been saying a lot of weird things in recent days, but he has always said odd things. Boxers seldom die in the ring and I imagine the odds of Kessler actually being killed this weekend are probably quite minimal. Froch is being quirky, but he is funny that way. You need a bit of pantomime. It does build him into the bad guy though and in a fight where you like both fighters, it pushes you towards the gentleman of the two.
