Comments Thread For: Froch: Kessler is Not My Friend, I'm Smashing Him!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Carl Froch and Mikkel Kessler, the two super-middleweight champions are ready for war at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday night.

"This is all about revenge," Froch said on Thursday. "Since the first fight with Mikkel Kessler, I've been thinking about the fight and dwelling on the fact that I lost."

Kessler beat Froch on points in Denmark in April 2010, and the two have remained in contact. Froch even sent Kessler advice by text message on how to win his last fight, a three-round stoppage of Northern Ireland's Brian Magee.

However, he says there is a difference between friendship and respect. "There's respect before and after the fight, but not during the fight.

About the Froch's "kill statement"...
What would have happened if Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins was in such a fight? Would have he spoken about picking daffodils and daisies?

Froch is mentally trying to put the friendship to one side for the sake of his fight, can't be that easy to do.

Kessler will not 'smash' or 'kill' Froch. He'll just gently put the cobra to sleep.

For the business' sake, a Froch win would be better...
Kessie doesn't like to leave Denmark.

I see. That must be why he gave Froch a return even though he didn't have to and that even in Froch's homecountry.

I'm a fan of both. Before fight week I was leaning towards Froch, but I think the occasion is going to get to him. He's going to get caught by something big running in. We'll see a knockdown, i'm sure of it.
