Great round for Froch. Kessler definitely isn't look the fighter he was a couple of years ago. Certainly didn't expect Froch to stop him beforehand but based on that last round it could be on the cards. If he can get a stoppage it would be a huge statement. Even bigger than the Bute win.

Froch looking incredibly sharp. Going to be a tough night for Kessler if he keeps this up.

If the fight continues at this trajectory I can see Kessler being pulled out by the 10th. He's struggling.

Froch has him timed to a tee.

That is indeed a real good price. Reckon it's probably down to rumours regarding Kessler struggling to make the weight. I reckon he'll be fine though. He's a pro.

I only make Froch a marginal favourite due to the hometown factor and him being more active over the past couple years. Could for sure go the other way.

Kesslar looking a 100/1 shot right now

Kessler won that round but he's nowhere near the level he was at in the first fight.

Big round this one as needs to halt any momentum from Kessler.

That was way more like it from Kessler. Turning into a great fight now.

Gave that round to Kess. Only have Froch one up now.

Momentum's all with Kessler now. Great turnaround. Froch looked to have Kess perfectly timed through the opening three rounds but it's switched the other way now. Froch now needs to find something big to stem the tide.

You've gotta say, it's living up to the billing. Fantastic fight.
