Comments Thread For: Kessler, Sauerland Feel Froch is Cracking Under Pressure

I think he is as well, I really am starting to fancy Kessler in this.

Don't be fooled. Froch is hyping the fight to sell PPV's on Sky. People are shorter on money than they have been for some time and selling a fight these days is tough - even a 50/50 rematch.

Of course Froch feels the pressure -- they've built a huge event with Carl as favorite... Kessie would have more excuses in case he loses, but Froch none...
They wanted big money -- they have big money...
Now Froch should be patient and stay behind his log jab -- which I strongly doubt he would be capable...

I'm just looking forward to a super fight for free on hbo ! showtime is taking over !

Kessler seems to be in a good state of mind. Should be interesting...

Froch does indeed seem a wee bit too hyped for this one and my hope is that he is not burning through too much nervous energy before the fight.

Kessler looks relaxed and happy for Froch to make all the noise. An ominous, laid-back confidence from Mikkel.

Rob McCracken is going to have manage Carl really carefully over the next 24 hours and make sure that his man gets a good night's sleep and gets properly focussed on delivering the gameplan/s they have developed for the fight.

I think Carl is the sort of guy who needs to get himself into a war-like state of mind and view his opponent as someone who he needs to dislike.

That's fine and has worked Carl in the past; but McCracken needs to bring him down just a couple of notches for this one in my opinion.
