Kessler won the stare down anyway

[O59]

Both in tremendous shape, can't wait for this! :ibutt

 

[BoxingAnalyst]

Froch looks wound up and nervous, Kessler looks like he's the one fighting at home.

 

[Smokin' Joe]

Kessler maximising a speed advantage.

 

[JamieC]

I wouldnt read much into the staredown, Froch "lost" it against Bute as well. I think it shows he's on edge, which hopefully translates to focus

 

[Jasper Simone]

The staredown is even less relevant than sparring rumours. Really, really looking forward to this.

 

[McKay]

Froch has 'lost' every staredown he's ever been in. Unfortunately for his opponents that doesn't translate to the ring.

What rumours are these?

 

[Roe]

Rumour is that Nathan Cleverly and George Groves were more than happy with how they sparred against Kessler, and both came out predicting Froch to win and win well. But it doesn't really mean anything even if it was true.

Both look good and should be another good fight! You know it's fight time when the weigh in is done, bring it on! :bbb

 

[Casual Benson's Unknown]

What rumours are these?

It's been rumored both Cleverly and Groves have been surprised at how bad Kessler was in sparring, and both expect Froch to beat him confortably, I think there's a quote where Cleverly hints at it but that's as close as i've seen other than rumours.

 

[O59]

Fucking hope Froch wins this.

 

[Michael]

Kessler won the stare down anyway

So did Pascal

 

[thepower]

I wasn't claiming that the stare down is a key indicator of how the fight will pan out. Far from it

 

[Reppin501]

Froch wins this and I predict he stops Kessler, somewhere around the 8th round.

 

[Michael]

Both look in great shape, should be a FOTY candidate .

Btw British fans are fucking wank stains, or at least the one's who support boxers who are mainstream in their country. I suppose it comes with the territory that once you get a bit popular you attract a different type of fan, knobheads for want of a better word. This who are ya who are ya shit is prime example of it, tenner bets they'll start booing the Danish anthem tomorrow aswell.

I seriously think that Kessler is semi-shot against top guys. He looks gym fit, and has got away with his comeback fights because of the opponents, but both Froch and Ward walk through him pretty easily in 2013, in my view. I agree with you, Froch stops him inside distance. How far inside depends on Carl's approach.

I agree with you but sadly it's not just the Brits - it has got into all sport and all countries. They even yell 'in the hole' constantly when the Ryder Cup is in the US. Muppets.
