    Kessler Vs Froch February 28

    According to danish newspaper "Ekstra Bladet" Froch has called out Kessler, and Palle/Kessler are considering, whether or not they want this fight. They also have an offer from HBO about a fight in the US on March 14.

    A Froch fight would probably be more significant than whatever fight is being offered on HBO but if US exposure is what he wants, then the HBO fight is the way to go, I have a feeling it's against Winky. I wonder if this means HBO are willing to do a double header on March 14th, Dawson-Tarver 2 is rumored for that date.

        That fight makes no sense and I read somewhere HBO wasn't interested in it, Froch vs Taylor/Kessler - Kessler vs Winky/Taylor would be something I want to see.

          Steve Kim at maxboxing says it's a definite possibility. Maybe they'll use the double header to promote a Dawson-Kessler fight or a Dawson-Calzaghe fight.

              Interesting, I'd love to see Kessler fight Dawson, anyways, any opponent better than his last 2 will be welcome. Thanks for the update.

                This is the first Im hearing about this. WTF Dawson-Tarver 2 for what. At what point in the fight did it seem like an immediate rematch was necessary. Maybe we should make Pacman-Diaz 2 next, in fact I would rather see ODLH-Pacman 2 over that ****.

                  Dan Rafael posted after it was brought up.


                  JKGaucho (DC): Why would HBO be interested in Dawson vs. Tarver II? First wasn't a great fight and did terrible business. Tarver will only be older. A wasted date if that fight is made.

                  SportsNation Dan Rafael: They're not interested in it to my knowledge.

                    I would rather see Froch-Taylor and Kessler-Dawson. Winky-Williams getting signed would also be great.

                    Considering how much time Froch has spent talking about JT, he would look very bad if he ended up turning Taylor down in order to fight someone else.
