Starts soon on itv....
....Enjoy !

came across a lot better than I expected tbh. Quite nervy though I thought. Probably why he usually seems to have stock answers when he's interviewed. I expect he's quite an interesting bloke to meet, what you see on the surface isn't him.

I was going to say that same thing... He seems an articulate well-spoken guy, but he does seem a wee bit uptight and he could really use a sence of humour when people like Ross are trying to have a joke with him.

On a side note, I can't remember a time that I've seen a boxer with so much respect for an opponent (especially a high-profile title fight such as this), Froch hasn't got a bad word to say about Kessler.

Which isn't great for selling the fight to Joe Public. Thats why he will never be a star, no matter how good a fighter he is.

This is how to sell a fight.

All the respect will fly out the window on the day of the weigh-in !
