Comments Thread For: Froch: I Would Love to Have Kessler Trilogy at City Ground

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Carl Froch told a civic reception in his hometown of Nottingham that he still dreams of a big show at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground.

The Cobra was honoured with a second civic reception following his epic rematch win over Mikkel Kessler at the O2 Arena in London on May 25, and when he addressed his loyal hometown fans who braved the pouring rain to pay homage to their hero, he told them he hoped the curtain has not been drawn on his fighting days in Nottingham after he destroyed Lucian Bute at the Capital FM Arena in May then brushed Yusaf Mack aside in clinical fashion in November at the same venue.

Froch really wants to end Kessler's career.

It would surely be at a neutral venue. Kessler won't agree to Nottingham, nor should he.

I think this would be bad as Froch won clearly last time out so home advantage would be unfair, if they fight again then it's got to be on neutral ground.

I don't think a third fight will sell nearly as well because we all know that Kessler won't win, you do have the possibility that Froch gets it filled full of Nottingham folk, but Kesslers never going to agree to that.

I have zero interest in watching him take on a shot looking Kessler yet again. he has proved his point, got his revenge. What everyone would like to see is you Mr. Froch get revenge over Ward, admittedly I don't think you're capable of it, and I think you know it!

I think the hardcore fans want to see Froch fight Ward if Froch wants to be no1 he has to fight Ward, but i doubt he`ll want anything to do with Ward because he knows he`probably get beat so Groves or Kessler it is then.

Number 2 likes being number 2.

Kessler is still, IMO, the most overrated fighter on NSB. Definition of padded record.

[parrish duke]

Froch is a bully, we have yet to hear from kesseler to see if he even wants to fight anymore and this dude is already planning a trilogy - losing respect for him- what happened to fighting the best? Andre Ward is not a snoozefest fight. Cobra won't even mention his name - ward will KO or TKO him in a rematch - will put $ on that.

Eddie Hearn has mentioned the Amsterdam Arena.

[Arsene Knows]

Serious doubts whether it would fill out a stadium. Kessler needs a good win in the interim to really build interest in a third fight.
