        What a war this is going to be.

        Two warriors who put it all on the line. Both coming off a couple of impressive early KO wins. Hard to split them because the 1st fight was close, both have only been dropped once. Both have power and are willing to trade.

        Great fight cant wait!

          Great win for boxing!

          I had Kessler winning the first fight with 2 rounds. But it was very close and definitely top 3 fights of 2010. Can't wait for this one, as soon as it goes on I will book the ticket. Pulling for Kessler to come through and become 4 times world champion! - Feel his skills are more superior and he's a better all round boxer. However, if Froch can apply his pressure it could be interesting. But remember, Kessler was the agressor in the first fight - If that happens again, I'm not sure how comfortable Froch is fighting on the back foot.

            Make that 6-times world champion:

            1: Siaca (WBA)
            2: Beyer (WBC)
            3: Sartison (WBA)
            4: Froch (WBC)
            5: Magee (WBA)
            6: Froch (IBF)?

                Yeah, but he unified vs Beyer holding both WBA and WBC - not 2 time world champ. Plus Magee's is the "regular" belt - so not counting that.

                  Looking forward to seeing these two go at each other again. Froch has improved since their previous meeting, due to fighting tough opponents. Not sure if Kessler can say the same.

                    Hmm.. Since they fought Froch is 4-1 with wins over Abraham, Johnson, Mack & Bute and lost to Ward with 2 KO's- Kessler is 3-0 with 3 KO's over Green, Bouadla & Magee. I'm pretty sure both Froch and Kessler would win each others fights, bar Ward. I think Green is probably on the level of Abraham and Johnson, and Magee = Mack. Pretty equal since they fought, but Froch's win over Bute was of course great. But we don't know how good Bute really is.

                      I hear you.

                      Let's call it 6 times alphabet champ.
