CARL FROCH turned three years of anger into a verbal assault on Mikkel Kessler by declaring: “I will kill this f****r if I have to.”
The pair meet in a world super-middleweight unification bout at London’s 02 Arena on Saturday.
IBF champion Froch is still angry at losing his WBC crown to WBA holder Kessler when they met in Denmark in April 2010.
Froch, 35, won the title back after injured Kessler was forced to relinquish it but the Nottingham fighter is still seething at losing their first meeting on points.
Froch blew his top ahead of their latest meeting and said: “I will kill this f****r if I have to. It sounds brutal, it sounds horrible, but that’s what this fight means to me.
“When I am smashing his face in, I am going to go for the kill. I want to do him some damage. I want to put the record straight. Click Here To Read More]
I thought Froch won the first fight. This is going to be a great fight. Two guys with great chins. I used to be a critic of both guys, but they have finally faced the best, and may the best man win!
Can you translate what he said? I don't speak European.
Hahah, you don't speak European?? English IS European! :D
He says stuff like "Haha, I thought we were friends?" And "He said he was gonna cut my head off last time, that didn't happen."
not in Denmark this time, so he won't have to
but he just might anyway, Froch is gonna do damage in this fight
Kessler won't go quietly, he'll do his part to make it a war
but Froch is gonna beat his ass good this time
Froch has found out how popular Kessler really is, and now he begins therefore to go on his nerves.Kessler is perhaps more popular right now than Froch and gives interviews all around the world.
I think Froch is mentally unstable, every time there's something about Kessler, he tries to turn it over on itself. Now the pressure is too high and he realizes that it is realistic that he can lose the fight. And how embarrassing would it be for him to lose two fight to Kessler and the last at home
I think Froch will make many mistakes in the fight and Kessler will punish him each time he do it, Kessler will KO Froch
Damn imagine if he said that after the murder in London...
There are lots of murders going on all over the world all the time anyway but yeah because it's in london and recent it was not a smart thing to say.
I know it was a badly timed comment and it wasn't wise for him to say things like that anyway because a lot of people can take it seriously and get upset.
holy fuk, a lot of people taking these comments seriously, froch has said something like this before in the super six, after losing his belt to kessler in the s6 he said something like "I feel like I'd slit his throat to regain a world title" when refering to abraham and he's alive and well. Doesn't mean he's gonna kill kessler lol.
He's hyping the fight and expressing in exageration how much he wants to win. People need to stop being so sensitive.

He's not dirty? LMAO he throws rabbit punches on the regular and doesn't hesitate to bodyslam his opponent if he has to.
that's when his opponent starts holding, if you want to hold froch you got to pay the price.

Carl hyping the fight.
Let's be honest, we've seen him in there countless times and while he's rough and in your face, he's not dirty.

Never to late to Promote the PPV
This guy is a ****ing joke
Kessler by brutal KO
Froch isn't a joke fool. That guy in your picture is a ****ing joke. He lost to Murray.
LOL if you think Kessler will KO Froch.
Fair enough Tonyu, I wasn't judging your character or speaking for you just noting South Africans are not the biggest fans of British sportsmen or where the Afrikaans people are concerned, are not the biggest fans of Britain period. If this doesn't apply to you (and you say it doesn't) then I take it back.
Well I think this thread puts that one to bed, don't you!? :)
No problem we are all friends on here.
Hello The WeeblerII - I don't think we've ever personally met so please don't judge my character and speak for me as I would never do that to you - I left South Africa a very long time ago and I support all British teams and their are lot of Britsih sportsman which I admire and respect but Froch is not one o f them I'm afraid and yes I am one of those Calzaghe fans - but I do like you because at least you are honest and speak what you feel - but I thought I would correct you on that point.

What I don't like about Froch is he can be hypocrite and is one of these fighters that seems immune to be any criticism at all.

It's been said and he's apologised and it'll be dealt with by the BBBC.
Just hope that nothing ever happens to any opponent and to any opponent of Froch's after these comments he's made.
You only have to look at the profound effect it had on Eubank and Benn where nobody died but their opponents life's were ruined. These comments were so irresponsible.
Boxing is a sport supposed to be to Gentleman engaging with rules and regulations and my the best man win. Comments like these we can do with out.
For those saying Froch is selling the fight - well just a day or two ago he said no animosity and hype needed between the two to sell this one coz everybody knows what to expect and then he makes these comments.
Stupid, stupid, stupid to make such comments.
Its done now though, he's apologised, so lets look forward to the fight now.

Bro it's clear you don't care about any of that, it's just another opportunity for you to hate on Carl Froch like you have been doing in almost all of your posts lately. I'm guessing it's because he criticised Amir Khan at one point, well if they can get over it, so can you. Move on.
--------------------
Mate, I stand by everything I said. Don't tell me who and what I think - only my Mrs is allowed to do that. I don't like these comments and I don't give a damn who made them, I don't like the comments full stop.
What I don't like about Froch is he can be hypocrite and is one of these fighters that seems immune to be any criticism at all.
Like I said - if Mayweather, Khan, Cleverly or someone that most people on here don't like, or you personally don't like, you would be all over these comments.
What I do like about Froch is he's a warrior and in is v exciting fights that are great entertainment and great to watch.
I'm over him making the comments, looking forward to the weigh in and to a great fight on Saturday nt, bring in on!!!
I believe Tonyu is South African, they do not like British sportsmen or teams.
Most of the people criticising Froch here are doing so either because they are fans of Kessler (understandable), Calzaghe, Khan or simply do not like Britain in general.
Opportunism.
Real boxing fans take it for what it is, Froch getting (over)-hyped in fight week.
