Blimey Khan held on by the skin of his teeth there. Definitely got a bit of help from the ref.

Joke refereeing tbh. Not a single warning to Khan.

Danny Garcia sparks him again if they fight tbh.

Surely even Harrison can't try and come back from last nights defeat? Embarrassment of a boxer and really should just disappear now. Wilder looked interesting though, some serious power there and 28 knockouts in 28 fights is impressive.

Just announced his retirement. What a massive loss to the sport:)

Nice one SugarRay. Should be a good Froch win. You going by yourself or with a posse?

Have a good one (y)

6 going, VIP bar too apparently which is pretty sweet!

Hoping for a Froch win of course but as its getting closer I'm reliving the first fight and these Kessler body shots took their toll and gave him the win. Hopefully Carl starts faster this time. Should be a cracker.

Mate, you should have a great time and as you say, will be a hum-dinger (hopefully Froch win)(y)

It's 2 days before my birthday, I wish I had realised this as I may have asked the mrs to get me a ticket but you need to go with a good group of mates. Glad you got a good posse together. I take it your group are all boxing fans?

Two of us are hardcore, always loved the sport, been in gyms from an early age etc etc

The rest are more casual. The bigger fights always bring out the casual fan though so I'm sure they will enjoy.

Harrison makes u-turn on decision to retire. Unfortunately it was slightly predictable.

this made me chuckle, but I am easily amused, on a new site I found the other day:

You have to feel sorry for boxer Audley Harrison; he doesn't have anyone in his corner prepared to speak the truth or protect man's welfare. He's un-retiring. Again...
The 41 year old pugulist is putting "personal glory" (of which there's unlikely to be much) ahead of his family, and states:
"If I don't get up and try again, everything I've stood for would mean nothing."
Well, Audley old chap, it's because you keep hitting the floor that means you have to get up and try again...
Of course, it's his right to continue, but wouldn't it be better to bow out with some dignity? Oh wait; that went out the window about a decade ago.
We'll say it one last time: "A-Force: Give it up for goodness sake!"

'everything I've stood for would mean nothing'? I actually think he has an addiction, like drinking or smoking you know it is bad for you but you carry on anyway. I think he can't give up boxing and probably needs some serious medical help. Otherwise he's going to need serious medical help of another kind.

Sadly Harrison will get hurt before he realises he should have left the building years ago. Surely those that look after him must realise he has nothing to offer and never did, it is guys like this bum that make a mockery of the sport and adds further weight to those that want it banned.

Audley isn't the first and certainly won't be the last fighter to continue with his career too long.

He isn't even the best example of a fighter carrying on far too long in the sport right now to be honest. Look at Danny Williams, that man is completely finished. A least Audley could come back and beat a certain level of fighter.

Khan is overated with a terrible chin and no plan b.

A bigger problem than is bad chin is that every time he throws a jab he drops his back hand leaving him susceptible to being hit there.

He is just trying to earn himself unmerited publicity. He is possibly the worst boxer I have ever seen in my life, and also a twat with a persecution complex that just makes it worse.

Froch vs Kessler II

I can't see either of these guys getting stopped. Neither has suffered a legitimate stoppage (Kessler got stopped in the 11th round vs Ward due to cuts caused by an unintentional headbutt) and they have both fought people who hit a lot harder than either of them do. Like the first fight between these two I doubt there will be much in it but Froch is fighting at home so is probably the favourite to win on points. Nonetheless the clear value bet is Kessler to win on points at 5/1 with Sportingbet.
