    ....also KESSLER beat you CARL!!!! FROCH won the rematch because KESSLER was old and had too many injuries,in the 11th KESSLER had FROCH stunned and wobbling but he didn't jump on him like he would have done years before!!! Anyway nobody want to see WARD playing with FROCH another time and with two arms healthy this time;FROCH(if he beat GROVES) can only fight a third fight with KESSLER or perhaps BIKA because the only one world champion he hasn't fight yet....mah!!

      What are you babbling about? And why the need to put capital letters every time you write somebody's name? Carl Froch is older than Mikkel Kessler so why are you talking about age like it was to Carl's advantage? I've just watched the fight again myself and 'stunned and wobbling' is a complete exaggeration. Carl took a couple of good shots and it took him about 2 seconds to recover. He won the round and gave as good as he got. If he beats Groves he has options, and he's earned them the hard way. You don't have to like the guy but he deserves respect.

        Froch fans should be little worried. Fighters saying they'll Retire if they lose, ends of losing most often.

        That being said, it seems to me Froch wants that third and deciding Kessler fight on neutral Ground in Vegas.

          Makes no financial sense to have that bout in Vegas. They'd be throwing a lot of money away with timezones and ticket sales.

          Froch v Chavez (or Ward/Hopkins) is a Vegas fight.

            You are right about Chavez and possibly Hopkins. Ward not so much. Even if Ward continues his career, I have serious doubts whether Froch is sincere about wanting to rematch him.

            As for Kessler. Yeah they'd leave a lot of money behind. However both of them are set for life and it would be difficult making the rubber match in the UK or Denmark.

              I'd like to see a rubber match.

              Kessler WAS carrying an injury going into the second fight.

              It could work in Vegas if it was part of a double-header.

                Injury? What have you heard and from where?

                  I'd say they'd go to Amsterdam Arena before Vegas, Hearn said they discussed it as a possible venue for the second fight.

                      Aye, it's a great venue. The problem is, most of the buzz has gone for a third fight

                      Double header works. Maybe Groves vs. DeGale II and Froch vs. Kessler III?
