        But it's been a while since he fought the elite, so we'll have to see how much he has left. Then again when was the last time Froch beat an elite fighter? A looong time ago unless you consider Bute to be more than a hypejob.
        If you want to frame it that way, fine. But Bute was favored by pretty much everyone to beat Froch. I was one of very few voices trying to tell everyone that Froch would smoke Bute and prove how elite he really was. So if you want to discredit that win, what exactly has Kessler accomplished? Nothing on that level, if we are being honest.

            Just messing with you. I picked Bute to beat Froch. Hindsight is 20/20 but revisionist history shouldn't couldn't for that much.

            Froch's win over Bute was a great performance.

                +1

                I thought Kessler won a close decision in the first fight. He was killing Froch with that str8 right to the body and he isn't a fighter Froch can bully.

                  Can't wait for this fight.

                  Both seem like top guys.

                  Any news on the venue?

                    Froch is undefeated on British soil if the fight is close like the first bout Froch will get the decison for sure. This is possibly the biggest fight of the year can't wait for tickets to go on sale.

                    WAR COBRA!

                      Probably at the O2 arena.
