- Neither fighter to score a knockdown
- Either fighter to win by points after 12 rounds

Anyone else see this going another way or agree? I don't see Froch winning this but you can never be too sure with that snake so that's why I've gone for "either fighter to win by points".
I think doubling up with an Adamek win could also be a done deal.

I went with Kessler by decision (+166) and hedged that with a Kessler KO (+255). What kind of odds did you get for just a plain decision from either fighter?

Also, keep in mind the fight is in Denmark with a couple of clown judges - Roger Tilleman who was responsible for one of the biggest hometown reffing jobs ever (Reid-Ottke) and Daniel Van de Wiele who scored Froch-Dirrell 115-112 in favor of Froch. Note, he scored it for a Froch and Froch is involved in this fight, but I think a more likely reason for him scoring it for Froch is simply that he get's influenced by the hometown crowd and Kessler of course is the home fighter this time.

I'd go with Froch to win via TKO.

Really? I don't see either of them going down so wouldn't bet on a TKO or KO. They are the best odds too for both to stay on their feet (7/4). Both of their chins are great.

For either to win by decision I got 8/11 which isn't that good... but I'm not looking to win hundreds! Just a few cheeky quid.

Kessler needs good movement to beat Froch. Didn't show that in the Perdomo fight.

I know he's changed trainers, but what if he's past it already?

Either way he still aint going down!!! Kessler is a thoroughbred hard man.

Froch can only via TKO/KO and he knows that himself. It's either a Majority decision for Kessler or Froch by TKO/KO. Im in favor of Kessler for this fight it's the safer option!

Kessler is 25/1 for a MD. worth a punt lads

Froch is going down at least once in this fight, Kesslers chin will also be tested so I think your first tip is pretty bad.

Froch went down against taylor (cant remember if it was just once or a couple of times), and Dirrell rocked him in Round 10. Kessler arguably hits harder then either of the above fighters.
