Kessler vs. Froch 2 is the fight that should happen next

This fight needs to happen, i'll be buying tickets if it's made.

This is a fight that should definitely take place. I'm pretty sure both want the fight and it would be fantastic Froch could get it in the UK too. Perhaps even have it at the City ground? But there's nothing wrong with the Capital FM Arena.

I don't think Kessler can deal with this version of Froch, I really don't. Timbatron, Do you really see Kessler crumbling the way Bute did? Weve seen Bute effectively knocked out by an average fighter in Andrade so Carl had the ability to do the same or better. Weve already seen him fight Kessler and he wasnt able to overwhelm the Dane with power or outbox him. They fought on fairly even terms with perhaps the home fighter showinbg more passion and being more assertive which is why he got the nod. If he thinks he can now ambush Kessler , make it a physical fight and treat him the way he treated Bute then he better be carefil he isnt caught by massive shots on the way in.

It annoys me when people say that Froch-Dirrell was a robbery. It was a close fight. Dirrell maybe won by one or two rounds and maybe should have been awarded the decision, but that doesn't constitute a robbery. Dirrell ran for the whole fight and refused to engage. It wasn't a clinic like Ward put on Froch. It was an embarrassing performance by a weak minded fighter. Froch vs Kessler was also very close, and I can't argue with the decision. But if Froch puts boxing aside and chooses to fight aggressively in a rematch, I think he stops Kessler. The problem with Froch is, since he beat Pascal, he fought as a boxer, which is style he isn't suited to. To utilise his main strengths he needs to throw caution to the wind, and go to war. That's what he did against Bute, and it resulted in a 5th round KO against a highly skilled, world class fighter. I don't think Kessler can deal with this version of Froch, I really don't. Different fighters call for different tactics. Froch has proved himself to be a decent boxer over the last few fights, and it's held him in good stead against guys like Abraham and Johnson, guys who might otherwise have out-toughed him and knocked him out. He can still brawl when he has to, but I don't see what's wrong with having more than one tool for a job.

Did you see how easy he was to hit by "Sweetness" he was prime around 2007 I wouldn't call him shot but he is obviously way past his prime. Froch doesn't have it in himself to excel in back to back fights. Froch's recent bravado will walk him onto a Kessler left hook! P.S. Kessler has fought in the second biggest stadium in the UK in Wales so fighting in some small tin can stadium in Nottingham is a breeze for him. He strives a Froch fight in the UK!

Still a 50/50 fight. Carl was able to walk through Butes punches but e could do that with someone that bangs as hard as Kessler Bute hits harder than Kessler. I feel the only reason he lost the 1st fight with Kessler is because he came out too slow.

Still a 50/50 fight. Carl was able to walk through Butes punches but e could do that with someone that bangs as hard as Kessler so he would have to keep it long and that changes teh dynamics of the fight. If Carl boxes with Kess its close but Kessler has teh edge because he holds centre ring. Of the two Kessler is more faded but he has never been outfought only outboxed. Calzaghe relaised that after 6 and switched up relying on movement and handspeed. Neither of those qualities are Carls best. To present the opposite argument in England Kess has it all to do and I can see teh decision going the other way. Kessler looks he may not be as good as he was but Froch looked better than ever on Saturday. Close fight!

Sounds good to me :boxing:

Kessler had the big knockout win last week but now Froch sort of stole his thunder by upsetting Bute.

The rematch would be just as good as the first fight, if not better. It'll definitely make more money too, especially in the UK.

hell yes, Froch deserves the rematch thought he beat Kessler the 1st time, screw Denmark Kessler has a KO over Green, but that means jack he's probably feeling re-energized and confident now get back to 168 and give Froch his rematch Froch will kick his ass more clearly this time

this would be an exciting fight once again. i see kessler pulling another close win.

Froch Vs Kessler in Nottingham Forrest stadium would be amazing ! Agreed. Think they could fill the place up?

Kessler looks finished? How you figure all that? Did you see how easy he was to hit by "Sweetness" he was prime around 2007 I wouldn't call him shot but he is obviously way past his prime.

And since they already fought in Denmark the rematch should be in Nottingham. Especially since The Cobra holds the IBF belt now. My good man, what is the point of showing a pic of Bella Gonzalez if you can't see that ass? The rest of her is virtually pointless. :lol1:

would pay to see those 2 warriors getting it on again! Still 50/50 fight for me

It's the most logical fight. Both have just had very impressive knock out victories. There's unfinished business. Both are still near the top.

alright cool winner fights kelly pavlik

Froch Vs Kessler in Nottingham Forrest stadium would be amazing !
