Swung back again. Froch up 5-3 for me.

The chins and hearts on these two guys are phenomenal.

 

[Gbspurs]

Unbelievable to take punches like this.

 

[class of 62]

great round for froch

 

[class of 62]

even 9th imo

 

[class of 62]

Kessler needs the next 2rds just to get close imo.

 

[tototoner]

Kesslar needs a KO, got Froch 3 rounds ahead

 

[class of 62]

what a round.. how do the take that punishment

 

[class of 62]

well fought gents! froch by 4 imho.

 

[nightgoat]

What a finish

 

[Cavehillspur]

Great scrap that!

 

[Gbspurs]

Shame Froch didn't knock him out at the end. Quality fight.

Nah, I had a few quid on Froch on points

 

[Cavehillspur]

Well done Froch, well deserved great great fight.

all set for a 3rd fight between them!.. far more money & interest than fighting ward again,

? Ward rematch is almost a cert and that would sell very well. Plenty of time for Froch vs Kessler III.

personally I don't think so!... froch will reach the tipping point soon.. he's human!!.. you cant fight his sort of fights forever.

Absolutely no interest in seeing a Ward rematch. If they fought 100 rounds Froch might win two of them. It's a dull fight and we don't need to see it again.

Hopkins is also a dull fight but it's a bit more interesting and the build-up would be fun. I'd rather see that (think Hopkins wins but not quite as dominantly as Ward). Would sell bigger on ppv too. Might need to be at a catchweight though as Froch won't move up for him.

But yeah, I'd probably take a third Kessler fight over both of those other options. Give it a year and Groves will be a big fight as well if he keeps winning.

think groves should clear up the minors first.. European commonwealth etc & shut degale up once & for all before moving up.. decent fighter but its very much like the calzaghe froch timeline.. groves cant move up without froch but froch wont want him yet if ever

It depends on what you like. I'd love to see a rematch with Ward as I love how technical a fighter he is. He can be a bit dirty at times and knows all the tricks, but he's quality to watch, perhaps only Mayweather is a more skillful fighter than him. I would never call him dull to watch.

Groves is done with that level. He's the no1 contender for the WBO so next step is to take on Stieglitz and win that. Get a good defence or two under his belt and then I'd say it's time for Froch. Degale is off his radar for now. Not making enough noise at this point in time.
