I actually think Froch will look a little older in this fight. He's the older guy and has taken some significant damage and it eventually has to take its toll. Kessler has taken some damage as well but not as much in recent times.

I think the fight can go either way but I am picking Kessler by SD. I like both fighters but either way it's going to be a fun fight. These two guys will fight anyone and anywhere.

Looks like all of the officials are neutral. One Judge American(Byrd), One French(Toupin), and one Venezuelan (Sucres). The Ref is also American, Podrowski.

Anybody know anything about Toupin, Sucres, and Podrowski? I'm not familiar with them

Heard the BBC is investigating(whatever the hell that means in this case) Froch for some pre-fight trash talk where Froch said he would "kill" Kessler in the ring if he had to.

Kessler's response on Twitter was something along the lines of "Well that wasn't a nice comment :)" :lol:

I was rewatching The Froch-Bute fight earlier and while he seemed to handle Bute's shots pretty well Froch still has a terrible habit of dropping his lead hand everytime he throws it. If Kessler can still pull the trigger he can still land plenty of right hands on him.

The Bute fight could be fool's gold. We didn't know much about him while the Super Six was going on. And when the runner up of the Super Six fought him, he killed him. So, stands to reason, Bute wasn't on the level of these guys to begin with.

Froch will be ruthless, but Kessler will not be easily subdued. However he will be halted at some point.

Froch by TKO.

I expect pretty much the exact same fight as the first one, Kessler will get the better of it again but in England the decision goes to Carl.

Froch is the 2-1 favorite.

Bet 2gs on froch to win 1k, Kessler is 1k to win 1,600.


Not sure what ill do here. Might put a little on the draw as well.

If it goes to the cards I just can't see any way that Carl doesn't get the nod here. Maybe if Kessler knocks Froch down a few times...even then, just maybe he gets it.

I don't think Kessler can take Froch out either. He's limited skills wise, but froch is tough as nails and I can't see him going out on his back in London.

I think Froch has plenty of skill, he just doesn't have great speed IMO. I would be shocked if he got knocked out, I'd be less surprised if Kessler were KO'd though, I don't think Mikkel is quite as durable or tough as Carl.
