      Oh now I understand. Kessler has also said that his hands where treated so he didn't feel the pain during the fight so now it fits perfectly.

      The injury prevented meaningful sparring though and the hand was surgically repaired afterwards.

        Much respect to both these warriors, Kessler is a man of his word, that's nice to see, it takes a real boxer to risk going to the opponents hometown in such a big fight, like Froch did before.

          see what i mean? Kessler's defeat to Calzaghe doesn't really count, because Saint Kessler had bad hands. and we all know that Joe Calzaghe never had a hand issue in his life.

          and Ward butted Kessler like a billygoat and had the official in his pocket, so that loss doesn't really count either.

          and Kessler's fight with Froch wasn't really very close at all.

              ^^^^ Quoted for the truth.

                I think the first fight has become quite overrated, to be honest.

                  I thought Kessler-Froch was close, but Kessler clearly won 115-113. And Kessler wasn't 100% healthy for that fight.

                  Unless Froch is on PEDs, Kessler will win again.

                    happy days, hope its as good as the first, only Froch does a little better this time and gets the nod.

                    Any details on date and venue yet? (for some reason i cant open the article i dunno if the details are in it or not. My old PC has been playing up lately)

                      End of May to early June. Probably at the O2.
