Fight week!!! Froch poll and opinions!!!FIGHT THREAD. SPOILERS

[Seanusarrilius]

First topic message reminder :

I think there was another poll, but let's start a fresh!

Who wins?
How?
Entertainment factor?
Where do they go after?

Let me say this. Froch wins, TKO, in a war that matches the Hatton v Kosta bout for epicness.

War Froch! War Boxing! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

[hampo17]

An hour until the main event, anyone know who the fillers are?

Callum Smith will be one.

[owen10ozzy]

To be fair Steffan ....68% of the time his fans are right....

[Union Cane]

There was another "Saint" George, early 2000's, blond lad with dreads, anyone remember him?

[bhb001]

I see this as points all the way. A good pick um fight, but have to with Froch

[Duty281]

Can't believe most people aren't backing Kessler, I honestly think he will beat Froch convincingly!

Lets hope so fella

A lot of people are expecting a repeat of Froch-Bute, just won't happen. I'm looking forward to Froch's excuses

Everytime Froch fights his fans say he is gonna knock the other guy out so im used to it by now. Last time he fought Kessler it was gonna be a late stoppage etc. they just like to delude themselves

And if Froch was Welsh, you'd be one of his fans. Fortunately, Froch had the grace of God to be true-born.

Why are you bringing race into this?

[Duty281]

Why are you bringing race into this?

I thought I was bringing nationality into it, not race.

[Union Cane]

Why are you bringing race into this?

Nationality, not race. Stop trying to stir things up.

[azania]

Hello? Someone mention race?

[Steffan]

Why mention nationality at all?

People can cheer for who they like

[Duty281]

Hello? Someone mention race?

You felt your ears burning!

[Sugar Floyd Louis]

I'm not trying to stir, and my bad, but still, no-one's stated they dislike Froch because of where he's from.

[Cast a Shadow]

I'm expecting a serious tear-up, with plenty of ebb and flow. Carl to get a narrow decision this time, maybe set up a third fight in the States?

[azania]

Like the type of cross you carry.

[Union Cane]

Why mention nationality at all?

Says the man with the Danish flag.

[Strongback]

I see Kessler as the better talent but it just depends if Kessler has faded a half step. It's impossible to know until they start fighting.

If Kessler hasn't lost much I see a repeat of the last fight. Froch needs to bring more than he ever has. It's just a great match up and these two really are modern day gladiators. There are no downsides other than I don't want to see either man badly beaten.

[Sugar Floyd Louis]

I just honestly think a lot of people are in for a surprise here, understandably everyone's getting behind Froch but he's being way too overhyped.

[hampo17]

SFL you do get the impression with the Steffan that he will cheer anybody on if their opponent is English.

[Steffan]

I like the colour

[owen10ozzy]

HaHa Rooney....a Boxer...don't think so...for a start you can't request a transfer like he loves to do!!

Not much to disagree with there - Kessler the slightly better pure boxer, Froch with the marginal edge in one-shot power, both immensely tough and durable, Kessler perhaps the more cool/disciplined under pressure.

Think this is the sort of fight that could take a lot out of both men - even if (and we hope) nobody comes out of it badly hurt, can be the sort of fight where neither man is quite the same again.

Can see this being even better than the first fight, which was pretty good.

[Duty281]

No, it's been England's Green and Pleasant Land for a while.

I'm sure he lost a few amateur bouts?

[HitmanOwl]

Froch on points. Either way the full 12 rounds

[WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs]

I like Callum, was cosmidered the best smith brother and he looks good so far

Another first round KO, the future is bright

Are you Nigel Farage in disguise?

[Cast a Shadow]

Bit of a mismatch there - opponent looked a bit fleshy...

Very relevant point considering Dirrell didn't get the decision he should have in Nottingham.

Nothing wrong with England. Il be living there myself for a month in July. I just want Kessler to win. Not against the law is it?

Was he that soft Yank that ran away all night?

[tomfinneywalksonwater]

Georgie Smith, he's got about 5 KOs on a DVD I got from amazon for a couple if quid. 101 greatest KOs in 101 minutes. Looking on boxrec he was finished by the age of 28.

[John Bloody Wayne]

Mungo?

[Union Cane]

Farage is UKIP, not EnglandIP.

Anyway, can we get back to the matter in hand please gents?

[Steffan]

Duty brought it up. No one else

No I didn't.

[kevchadders]

Froch has to try and stop Kessler inside the distance to put the exclamation point on the win and guarantee a rematch with Ward

[Sugar Floyd Louis]

Got a lovely reception in Scotland didn't he? (sorry couldn't help myself).

But yh back to the boxing, money on Kessler!

[hampo17]

Callum Smith looked good again, time to step up his opposition now.

[Cast a Shadow]

Anyway, contrary to popular myth, UKIP are NOT sectarian or racist.

On the boxing - got serious respect for both guys, so although I'll be wanting Carl to win, first wish will be that the fight doesn't disappoint us.

[bhb001]

Got 5 live up now. Getting excited, but hope it is better than last time. I remember being disappointed at the time.

[Strongback]

Not being English and after watching the Callum Smith interview I'm thinking:

What is it with Liverpudlian fighters and being mouthy?

[Union Cane]

Hate the term "barnburner", but it will certainly be one.

Your votes on the Music Cup thread would be appreciated as we await the main event.

[Sugar Floyd Louis]

I admire Farage actually, Britain's politicians have needed a kick up the backside for a long time!

Boxing - a Kessler win (which I'm very sure of) kind of ruins the division doesn't it? Who would fancy a fight with Ward again? It would kind of be good if this fight's close and can set up a 3rd in the U.S as someone alluded to earlier.

[bhb001]

Strongback, that's just scousers!
