He can do what he likes, as he always win. As can Froch

Are people seriously this interested in what he said? It's a quote and will have no baring on the fight

Magee has boxed both and been hit hard by both, he thought he'd beat Kessler before he got hit in the body. Maybe Brian has more insight into the strengths and weaknesses than most of us? Maybe?[/quote]

I wouldn't doubt that Brian has a good insight into both fighters and he may well be right, but he was wrong in predicting that he'd beat Kessler. He also said Kessler would stop Froch, something I highly doubt.[/quote]

I don't think I remember any boxer predicting that they are going to lose in the run up to a fight and I think I remember Froch predicting he'd be too much for Ward (and Kessler first fight).

Do you think that's because of the long career Magee has had, the pasting he got from Kessler or because Froch has improved so much?

Brian Magee has boxed and lost to both men, since losing to Froch he has travelled the world and boxed many of the top men, Magee is a solid professional and he doesn't spout nonsense to the world. He's the last man to face Kessler and in my book that makes him pretty well informed. We'll all see Saturday night and I hope it's a good tear up, I think that Kessler will win.

Kessler is gonna bring his best on Saturday night and I think his best is better than Frochy`s best. Really want Froch to win, but is he really gonna stop Kessler or outfight him over 12? Can`t see it.

Got a full scale lash planned for Saturday. A bit gutted by the undercard though, I expected or at least hoped for better than Bellew v Chilemba. I would have liked to have seen some of the others given a run as well. Fast eddie has plenty mouths to feed and some of them are due a night out.

Froch giving Kessler advice on how to beat Magee popped up in the paper again today.

http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol ... champ.html

"There may be little love between the pair during the countdown to their hotly anticipated 12-round battle.

But Froch gave Kessler, 34, the blueprint to beat Brian Magee inside three to claim the WBA crown in December.

Froch, who had beaten the Irishman, said: “I’ve kept in touch with Mikkel for three years. I spoke to him the day he boxed Magee and told him to keep firing right hands to the body because Magee wouldn’t take it."

I bet neither Kessler or his trainer had thought about using his best weapon before the bout; it seems churlish that Kessler hasn't given Carl the credit for the win - he had the opportunity in the post fight interview.

Why is Froch trying to come across as a div in the lead up to the Kessler rematch?

That's what makes Froch trying to take some of the credit for the win even more absurd :OhYes:

Well done - hook line and sinker :lol:

So Froch hasn't got a sense of humour?

Think he's losing it a little bit, this home advantage may be a bit too much pressure.
