Pretty much who I expected. It not a walkover as such but Hague doesn't have a lot to beat Froch with.

Not a bad opponent to be honest, a lot better than I had feared anyway. With the BBC 'slimming down' their Boxing coverage I'm thinking how long will Froch stay with Hennesey who may sruggle to get the big names/purses without the BBC money behind him? Just a thought.

Proud of the fact I pulled his name out of the hat last week.

I think this will be thrilling if potentially short-lived brawl.

I hope Forest and Derby are AWAY. Or we could have trouble in the stands.

Well done to Hennessey though, a decent fight.

In November I was at a bill in Rotherham which was abandoned due to rioting amongst fans. Pissed up Derby football fans were the main instigators. Hope there is no reoccurance.

Mick H better get his security sorted!

Hopefully the security will be tight, as Hague brings alot of support with him. I can't really see Hague winning , he is a good domestic boxer , and always fights to the max of his skills, but Froch just looks superior in every department to him.

Saying that, i would still like Hague to win.

I see Frochs speed advantage taking him to a stoppage win in around 6-8 rounds.

Froch should win this but I like Hague so I hope too that wins.
Froch has a very superior attitude to me and I'm not sure he has improved
very much in recent fights.

Whilst I like Hague, I think he is a bit out of his depth here (he belongs in the top ten, but Froch is knocking on the door of the top 5). I can only see a bit of a one sided beating to be honest.

I see the fight being somewhat similar to Wharton vs Benn, but it won't last the course. Hague is not a bad alternative and the fight will be exciting, I just don't give him a chance though.

Not Barney after all then.

If Froch is going all the way, then he should easily beat Hague.

Froch will walk all over Hague. I predict a KO by the 6th round. Watch this space, he is fantastic.

Totally agree, to most of it anyway ….except the last bit, which I totally disagree with.

Like to see Hague do well, though am I the only one who thinks this is perfect for Froch and wrong for Hague.
Six and Hague will have done well.

Well he is fantastic and it will be a knock out by 6th round, I'm putting money on a safe win.

Easy money (for you)

Like most, i'm going for a Froch win, inside the distance (but late on, rather than the middle rounds). However i can see Hague managing to cause Froch a few problems, much in the same way Adamu did during the early part of that fight.

Froch always appears lazy and complacent at some stage during his fights, so i think that Hague may even steal a couple of rounds here and there. I'll just be hoping against hope that Hague can somehow hear that final bell because, if he does, he'll be in with a chance.

On a side note, i'd like to welcome Frochylady back. Because, let's face it, there's no way there could be two women in this world who have a thing for "the Cobra".

Lol GlitterMonkey, my sentiments entirely mate I predicted Hague as an opponent so i am happy Hague has an advantage because he has god on his side, this could make it more interesting as a contest...he can move mountains my friend.

Froch should win but could be harder than people think.

Hague could cause an upset,he has sparred with lots of quality fighters in the past ,Beyer,Magee,Sven Ottke,castillo of spain who was wbc world champion,I believe when he lost to PINDER there was a lot of personal trouble between hague and his tthen trainer Mitchell,since then he hasnt looked back.Hague is super fit froch isnt ,hague can work for 12 rounds froch cant,i think this fight will expose froch.

Hague will need to work for 12 rounds, Froch won't.

hague is a weirdo but seems nice enough. I predict that he won't get past the fourth round.

See the BBBoC have confirmed that Dodson has relinquished today.
