      If any fight is worth paying for, we just got it.

      Realistically though, every Froch fight is gaurenteed value and entertainment, Only Ward has been able to make one boring via clinching and holding+hitting.

        It was £60 in Denmark!

        What a great fight. Showed so much respect for each other at the end.
        I think this is probably it for Kessler though. I saw his debut all the way back in 1998/1999 when he was just a kid. He called himself "the hitman" back then.. Original.

        Both are great fighters, and I can't wait to see Froch going and go the business to someone else very soon.

          Great fight. That was some grown man boxing in the ring tonight.

          Evenly matched, and those weren't pillows being thrown in there. Both got hit with some bombs.

              No. That tea-drinking redcoat and wooden shoe-wearing lutefisk vendor get nothing from me.



              Joke. Twas a great fight, much respect to them both.

                Yep.

                Those weren't little guys like myself.

                If Kessler hit me with one of those left hooks he landed on Froch, I'd be the first unassisted man in orbit.

                While dead.

                  What can I say that hasn't been said, two proper warriors giving it their all. No bull****, no controversy, no robbery, just a great night for boxing anyway you look at it.

                    I know Kessler is your boy but he'll bounce back. He fought great tonight and showed some real bottle getting back into the fight. The Viking warrior, indeed! A class act.

                      Two warriors gave us a great fight. Thank you to both Carl Froch and Mikkel Kessler for putting forth the type of effort that keeps me watching this sport through all the crap.
