Comments Thread For: Froch Sees Mikkel Kessler Rematch as a "50-50" Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Carl Froch ended today's open workout at Nottingham city's Old Market Square by telling his hometown fans that this Saturday's rematch with Mikkel Kessler will be a keenly waged war of attrition that could be decided by the championship rounds. Froch meets Kessler at London's O2 Arena on Saturday night in a fight that will be show live on Sky Box Office.

Froch, 30-2 (22), is making the second defence of the IBF Super middleweight title that he ripped from Lucian Bute in May of last year, the WBA's Super World title is also on the line due to Andre Ward's recent inactivity. Froch, the former WBC titlist, has vowed to avenge his May 2010 decision defeat to the "Viking Warrior", 46-2 (35), and add a WBA belt to his trophy cabinet to boot. [Click Here To Read More]

I'm a Londoner living in the States & I've bet a Danish mate (who now lives in the UK). If Froch wins he has to send me the biggest tub of Marmite available.

Anyone know what size that is?

This is a 50/50 fight I am a fan of both fighters. Froch Has been in the mix and more active then Kessler but I feel Kessler is going to get the W in England.

I'd like Froch to win...
I've seen him in many interviews and he's smart and funny -- just the opposite from the guy into the ring...

[MDPopescu]

Froch would have a good chance against Kessie if he stays behind his long jab and punch smart... Unfortunately Froch likes slugfests more...

Not too thrilled about that mindset

I think it's realistic though and he knows now his training and game plan must be 100% to win it.

No fighter should go into a fight thinking "ehhh anybody could win, maybe him, maybe me"

Wtf... no.

That's not what I think his mindset is.

He will be confident but he also knows he has to fight extremely smart after training as hard as he can before the fight. I mean the first fight showed Froch is right in what he says, it's probably a good thing he is not being delusional about it or he could walk into punches from Kessler.
