After lots of, it's a 50/50 fight, a toss up, hard to split 'em etc

The results were 15-0 to Froch :!:

Yeah, that's definitely the most one sided poll of a so called 50/50 fight of all time. 16-0 counting Graham Houston's preview.

In reality, it's more a 60-40 fight. Just the fact Kessler won the last one, and the Great Dane is rightly seen as a man of steel, so respect and the 50/50 label has to be given.

But the reason everyone's going for Froch is their recent results, and the location, count massively.

And that knock down Kessler suffered against Green might have been the sign of a great fighter on the slide.

oh yeah Graham picked Froch too! :-)

Green can punch a bit and Kessler got caught a cold early. The RPG which did for Green was brutal.
Does Kessler have the single punch power advantage I think he does.

Everyone is expecting a nice slice of pugilistic war with a Froch win on top.
I'll say it now .
Kessler to knock out Froch on home soil.
No reasoning behind it but I want to be the only man on the planet who calls it right

I mentioned this on Twitter but I feel if more than two of the 15 people surveyed had been non-Brits then the result msy well have been different.

Indeed, ask 15 Danes and it would be 15-0 Kessler

I thought i read a poster on here saying Froch was viewed as the favourite even by the Danes.

I said it in another thread about 2 weeks ago. It's insane how few people are picking Kessler given that he's already beaten Froch and Carl still hasn't beaten anyone as good as this version of Kessler. I dunno, i've just got a feeling Kessler's got one more big performance left in him and Froch's recent performances have flattered him just a bit.

Yeah the electrifying Bute destruction has left stars in everyone's eyes. Would Kessler have chinned Bute in Denmark? I reckon he would have.

What are the odds like for this fight ?

1.66 froch, 2.88 for Kessler. I am also surprised you can get 2.75 on chilemba to beat bellew. I think it is a 50/50 fight and this one isn't in Liverpool.

And DeGale picks him in the same issue, so that's 17-0.

Carl rightly looks favorite here - the home crowd roared Kessler on in a razor tight one in Denmark, so logic says it'll be the other way round in the UK, barring cuts or what have you.

Eric Raskin and Steve Farhood also picked Froch so 19-0-1 as Ian Mcneilly went for a draw!

I called this week's ago. Get in line.

It seems like most people consider it a close fight, but lean toward Froch. That may account for the lopsided prediction tally despite the fight being viewed as well-matched.

Kessler is expected to lose by all and sundry.

Actually, Froch is a bigger favourite in Denmark than in Britain.

When the fight was first announced, the Danish odds for a Froch victory was set at 1.70... but has since fallen to 1.52! In Denmark only the most die-hard Kessler fans believe he has a better than even chance this time.

The people that voted for Froch are just sh*t scared of him.

I remember saying Calzaghe v Lacy was a 55-45 fight in favour of Joe. Turned out to be 99-1! This could be the same I suppose but I think it should be very very close. Their styles should ensure that.

Kessler to win by KO.
