Like someone said a few posts back, the Abraham - Froch fight will be war and definitely a fight I'll be watching.

always prefered to watch Froch than Calzaghe Froch is always going to entrertain you wereas Calzhage was to just do enough i think Froch might take Kessler apart tbh by being in he's face constantly as Kessler didnt hold up too well later on against Calzaghe and with the extre work Froch will make him do i can see Froch with a KO. The fight i cant wait for is Froch-Abraham what a bloody war that will be

Abraham is a better boxer than Froch. I agree with The Nihilist, I thinkAbraham will win the tournament.

Just out of interest, who are Froch's 2 remaining opponents in the 'group' stage???

Kessler and Abraham. Probably in Denmark and Germany.

So a knockout should just about be enough to scrape him a draw in those fights then?

Sorry mate but I just can't see Froch winning that fight, unless he catches Kessler with a couple of thos huge right hands, Kesslers speed and workrate will at least outpoint Froch if not secure a late stoppage.

I hope for Froch's sake that he is being paid handsomely for this tournament, because otherwise he'd have to be mad to have agreed to have took on those two in those two venues....As somebody already points out, he'll have to knock them out and nail them to the canvas, just to escape with a draw!!...

That could be right.

The thing with Froch he is never going to be out of a fight with the punching power he has. Even though Kessler is a better boxer than Dirrell he hasnt got as good as a defence and Froch will catch him with a few more punches and at this weight there arent many that Kesssler will have faced as strong will be intresting fight ill go for froch

Well the Kessler fight will be in Denmark, probably because Froch fought at home this time and Kessler is going to America to to fight Ward. The Abraham fight will probably in Germany but I have a feeling they may end up fighting in America.

On the fight its self, I think Kessler's style is more suited to Froch, but Kessler is very tough, and has an excellent chin. Froch needs to use his jab more than has done in his last 2 fights, he has a very effective jab but seems to have stopped using it against Taylor, and Dirrel. I also think he needs to attack the body more. Kessler was hurt by a few body shots against Calzaghe and that was probably what won him the fight. Saying that I still think Kessler will UD him.

Is it just me looking forward to the Kell Brook fight? Really like the look if this guy

Top fight tonight between Rhodes & Moore.

Well done to Rhodes for coming back after all these years to get another shot at the title.

Excellent stuff and thought Rhodes had no chance early on but fair play to him for getting back into the fight and finishing it off when he saw his chance.

was a good fight dont know how they can say fight of the year. Did they ot see the booth hunter fight last week now thats the best fight i seen in years

They were calling it fight of the year from an early stage when in truth it looked like Rhodes was in line for a battering and once the fight turned they layed it on even thicker.

Good fight but not the best of the year.

Had a small wager on the Haye/Valuev fight. I thought the bookies had got Valuev's price wrong.

If Rhodes had carried that level of punch resistance and nous when his hand speed and movement were at their peak he would have been a multiple world champion IMO.

Those odds have drifted a little too. A couple of weeks back you couldn't get better than 1/2 for Haye. I think Ladbrokes had it at 2/5, now at 8/15.

7/4 Valuev seems value to me.

cant see anything but a Haye KO he will be too quick too hardworking and will chop him down. Just got to show that he has the chin too be a world cahmpion now

Is that right???...



I'd snap that up straight away, that's value.

I'd love to see Haye win, but I just can't see him pulling it off....I can't see him getting close enough to KO the big man without taking a few too many blows himself.

Also, from the evidence of the Holyfield-Valuev decision, it seems you have to nail the giant to the floor before you win....Sorry, just don't see it...

Does anyone know what time roughly the Haye fight will start?

Let's hope this lives up to the hype (problem is, with two scousers in the ring, I'm cheering for the ref!).
