    I wanted to vote on a draw but that's not an option.

    Seriously though, there aren't too many fights I would rather watch in the current boxing scene.

    The interest in a Froch Bute rematch has got to be in single digits so make THIS fight first & have Bute fight on the undercard to pique the publics interest again.

        Sorry about the missing option. I can understand people sitting on the fence but the thing is that draws are so uncommon.

        And yes. Bute has to be paid off so that he abandons his rematch clause. That remains to be seen.

            In such a close fight I think home advantage will be the deciding factor. Carl may be able to absorb an all out war better at this stage of their careers so I think he will nick it and set up a 3rd fight.

            If they have adecider it should be at a neutral venue and again its a toss up. If I hads to lean 1 way though Id go with Kessler. He seems to have that extra power and doest wait after exchanges like Carl sometimes does.

            Great warriors and deserve the big payday

              I think Froch boxed his best against Kessler the first time around. He was somewhat lacklustre against Johnson and really wasn't (IMO) competitive against Ward. He did blow out Bute and that was a great performance.

              Regardless. This is a pick'em fight. Venue might be decisive. I still gotta go with a Kessler KO, but hey. I'm a Kessler fan untill he goes down in flames. Froch is no. 2 on my list.
              I thought Froch's actual performance against Mikkel was one of his worst in recent years. It was still a great fight and a very close fight, but he was so out of control at times and really wild...he's corrected those things in recent fights.

              Froch has gotten a fair bit better since the first fight.

                  Im picking Froch by ud Mikkel has not fought at the top level in a while and Froch outside off Ward is a good run also i think the crowd will spur Froch on but Kessler can never be ruled out such a great warrior WAR KESSLER

                      For some weird reason I think Kessler needs this win just as much as Froch does. I'm taking Froch in a tough fight though, he wants this more than anything.
