    I hope we get Kessler-Froch II and Bute-Pavlik in the fall.

      I think that fight would and should take place in a stadium in front of a massive crowd. In november there would have to be a retractable roof. I don't know whether the stadium in Nottingham has such a roof, but if it does not, I believe the chances of this fight taking place next just dropped by quite a bit.

      That probably means that Kelly Pavlik will be a hot commodity if hé wins saturday. I'd expect both matchroom (Froch) and Sauerland (Kessler) to make him an offer.
      easily resolved, they just put a canopy up. It was done for one of the fights in the 90s, Benn/Eubank or Benn/Watson.

        I see.

        I guess you cannot rule out Kessler as the opponent then.

        Anyway there's so many rumours now. One of the more persistent is Kessler vs Pavlik. We will be wiser after kelly's fight.

          Can't rule it out but Hearn's last update didn't sound positive about the Kessler fight being this Autumn, he was talking about the possibility of it happening next year.

          4 hours ago:

          Froch's promoter Eddie Hearn has no doubt the Kessler fight will happen.

          He said: 'I think if I looked at mapping out Carl Froch's next three fights from a financial and career-prolonging point of view, I would take a top-10 defence this autumn, perhaps at the Nottingham Arena, then fight Bute in Montreal and go and do a job on him again, then in the summer have a big outdoor fight with Kessler.
          Carl Froch only has eyes for old rival Mikkel Kessler as he maps out his fighting future. The three-time world champion will return to action against a leading contender in November.


          Summer 2013.

            I wonder who that Top 10 defense could be.

            Oosthuizen, Bika, or Groves would all be solid fights.

              Froch would smash Groves.
