Carl Froch v Mikael Kessler

[Pretty Boy]

Anyone else planning on watching this tonight?

Could be an absolute cracker, 2 warriors with power and very decent chins.

If Froch wins the current situation is looking very bright for British boxing. Amir Khan set to make his American debut, Kevin Mitchell fighting for the WBO interim title in a couple of weeks with the chance for a shot at Juan Manuel Marquez the incentive, Rendall Munroe winning last night for a shot at the WBC super bantamweight title, the continuing progress of the likes of John Murray and George Groves. And of course David Haye looking like a very decent heavyweight. Looks like theres a few contenders to take over the mantle from the likes of Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton.

wow..thats a cut and a half along Kessler's left eyebrow.

[anon1]

Froch to get himself back fit and get that ugly Danish **** back to the Nottingham Arena to finish the job off properly!!

[Pretty Boy]

Whilst i don't disagree with the decision, i think 2 of the judges got the margin way too wide. I had Kessler by 2 rounds but how anybody could score that 6 rounds in Kesslers favour is beyond me.

Great fight from about round 4 onwards and must definitely be a contender for Ring Magazine fight of the year(depending on what Mayweather and Mosley serve up in a couple of weeks of course).
