Kessler warns Froch about american harassment.

Danish 3 time supermiddleweight champion Mikkel Kessler will be ringside for the supersix final between american Andre Ward and brit Carl Froch. From there he'll be rooting for the englishman. The defeat in the first groupstage fight at the hands of Ward still bugs Kessler moreso because of the way he was treated by the americans and he is helping Froch to prepare for similar harassment. Kessler tells danish daily Politiken.dk: "I've spoken to Carl several times since we met in the ring. In fact I have just spoken to him. I pick him to win, but one has to be concerned how he'll be treated. By the looks of it they treat him fairly so far. The presser went along nicely." Kessler has told Froch to get all agreements in writing and he vividly remembers how he was treated before his fight with Ward: "I told Froch of all the little things that stressed me. Just as I had had my final pee the told me to do a doping-test. In order to do that, I had to drink 2 liters of water. Not good when you are standing in the dressingroom. And when the final wraps was put on my hands Ward's trainer said I had to have them re-wrapped. They should have said that earlier." Kessler adds: "Then they said I should get ready to get into the ring in 5 minutes and I started to hit the pads. Then they said '10 more minutes'. That continued for 45 minutes. They wanted to stress me. It was pura harassment!"
