Jean Pascal (unbeaten) – Jermain Taylor (in his backyard) – Andre Dirrell (unbeaten) – Mikkel Kesller (in his backyard).

If he beats Kessler that's a very impressive run of opposition one fight after another. Whether he's your cup of tea or not you can't say he doesn't do it the hard way.

I find his spats with Calzaghe tiring but Ben Dirs on the Beeb's just done a good interview with him and Froch still hangs out with same mates from his youth. "You don't cash in your mates, do you, start hanging around with a different class of people?" Admire that.

So here's to another Froch win tomorrow and hoping he does it in style too.

Same from me. I do think that Froch is one of the most genuine and down to earth blokes in boxing, despite his perceived arrogance. I really wish the very best for him - he's one of the most exciting fighters out there and is a credit to British boxing. It's a shame terrestial TV have not picked him up. One would have thought after the Pascal fight that he would become box office gold.

Each championship fight has been a defeat waiting to happen for Froch, such is the quality of the opposition, but time and again he comes through. Win or lose, Froch is a true warrior.

Good luck Carl! Ko Kesler

cant wait for this, think its gonna be a war

X2 Well said

COME ON FROCHY!!!!

Froch puts it all on the line each & every time. I'm a bit concerned as he has disclosed he's carrying an injury & that's never good!

Hopefully, its nothing serious & is just the normal niggles he has during training camp. Injuries seem to of the norm to Froch. He says he has little niggles all the time!

Fly the Flag, Carl!

This is one of those fights you might've cynically understood a fighter side stepping if it were outside of a tournament system like this. Kessler's coming off a one sided pasting from a relatively green Ward, but even then you'd imagine it was most likely down to styles and that Froch is in for a supremely hard fight against a man who's actual, current ability isn't in line with his current image within the division. I guess that's one of the great things about a tournament system, even though Kessler would ordinarily be seen as a high risk / low reward fight right now, he's still in play, a loss isn't the be all and end all.

This is going to be such hard work, all of those full force charges and haymakers thrown just wide against Ward, might not be so off target against Froch. That said, Kessler's no Dirrell and he won't be as hard to find, what happens if Froch is able to catch Kessler, and his power tells? It's difficult to imagine it, for one thing, Kessler won't be trying to hunt Froch down as he did Ward, he'll be boxing efficiently, probably tucked up reasonably tightly, which'll probably mean if Froch is going to take this, it'll be down the line after losing a good few rounds. The thing is though, Kessler hits very hard, I thought Andrade was going to die after the shots he had to endure from Kessler! Will chinks show in Froch's armour after having his bell rung in consecutive fights?

I really hope Froch can pull it off although I'm having trouble seeing it. One good sign, I picked against Froch for his last 3 fights.
