I got the impression that Kessler thinks he's going to fight a Calzaghe fight. He seems to be talking about speed and technique an awful lot like that is going to be enough to get past Froch. His build for the fight suggests that too.

The problem with that is that Calzaghe's style was his style - Kessler will do himself a disservice if he's going to change to something else just to beat Froch.

Sure I heard Jamie Moore & Spencer Oliver say they expected the ring walks to be around 11.30-11.45pm

Did you see those two clowns on the O2 roof, role playing how they think the fight will go

I love boxing but it always makes me laugh how ex pros talk about it - all that shadow boxing, ducking and diving LOL

Kessler is going to slap Froch into submission?!

[Daniel 7]

He seems to be talking about speed an awful lot - can't say I've ever noticed Kessler going for speed so much in the past.

[Gibbo]

Lets be honest, it's going to turn into a full blown scrap isn't it.

I imagine the game plans will be ditched by around round 3.

[Daniel 7]

Yeah, they're going to batter **** out of each other from the early rounds!

I watched that show tonight, brilliant viewing...Eubank was such a wind up merchant.

Someone mentioned that weight division was the best bak in the eubank/benn era..I still think it is, the super six tournament a couple years back was amazing and looking at froch v Kessler, it's easily the best fight out there across all divisions at the moment and you just know tomorrow is going to be intense and probably fight of the year

Even enjoyed Woodhall speak, so humble and honest and you could see the other guys, legends, respected him when he spoke.

Tomorrow, obv want a froch win but I've watched all the program's recently with Kessler and I ****ing like the guy, seems a top bloke and a double hard ******* so it becomes so tough to call

I ****ing war, with a froch a win in the 10th, but both coming out healthy would be great

[Darth Marty]

Ill be watching this tomorrow, can't wait.

I like Froch & he's a great boxer to watch but he's just not as likeable as Kessler so for that reason alone I want Kessler to win.

It's nice to like both fighters though as I won't be stressed hoping my guy won't get knocked the **** out, this fight I get to enjoy & whoever wins is fine by me.

I love my boxing & consider myself fairly knowledgeable about the sport & in every scenario I think about this I find myself watching a brutal tear up! I think we will be in for a treat guys!

What's the undercard?

[Gibbo]

Groves Vs Gonzalez and Bellew vs Chilemba 2 are the main fights on it before Froch.

One of the best cards British Boxing as put on in a good while this.

[Darth Marty]

Thanks for that.

[Daniel 7]

I never realised Groves was on too - good that he's giving him a chance on a bigger bill, because he's a bit of an unknown really. It was only his association with de Gale that brought him to my attention.

See Froch put it around that he'd been sparring with Bellew for this fight too. With all the Hopkins talk, I wonder if he's going to move up to light heavy for that fight if he wins. Can't see Hopkins dropping down at his age.

[Chazza]

Haye was on ringside saying this is a tricky fight for Groves as Gonzalez is a puncher and has nothing to lose in this fight whereas it is a stepping stone to a title fight for Groves.

Hopkins want's that fight with Froch. I wonder if Froch wins they will go for Froch v Kessler 3 to have an overall winner or if Froch will want another crack at Ward?

Ward would beat him again i reckon.

[RichC]

Ward is a class above I think, I hope Froch does him tonight but its going to be tough Kessler is a class fighter.

[Daniel 7]

Froch gives the impression that he wants to avenge his defeats and thats his primary motive. I think that he'd go for a Ward fight even if there were no belts to win.

Yeah, he'll lose against Ward again
