Kessler and Abraham. Probably in Denmark and Germany.

I hope for Froch's sake that he is being paid handsomely for this tournament, because otherwise he'd have to be mad to have agreed to have took on those two in those two venues....As somebody already points out, he'll have to knock them out and nail them to the canvas, just to escape with a draw!!...

That could be right.

The thing with Froch he is never going to be out of a fight with the punching power he has. Even though Kessler is a better boxer than Dirrell he hasnt got as good as a defence and Froch will catch him with a few more punches and at this weight there arent many that Kesssler will have faced as strong will be intresting fight ill go for froch

Well the Kessler fight will be in Denmark, probably because Froch fought at home this time and Kessler is going to America to to fight Ward. The Abraham fight will probably in Germany but I have a feeling they may end up fighting in America.

On the fight its self, I think Kessler's style is more suited to Froch, but Kessler is very tough, and has an excellent chin. Froch needs to use his jab more than has done in his last 2 fights, he has a very effective jab but seems to have stopped using it against Taylor, and Dirrel. I also think he needs to attack the body more. Kessler was hurt by a few body shots against Calzaghe and that was probably what won him the fight. Saying that I still think Kessler will UD him.

Top fight tonight between Rhodes & Moore.

Well done to Rhodes for coming back after all these years to get another shot at the title.

Excellent stuff and thought Rhodes had no chance early on but fair play to him for getting back into the fight and finishing it off when he saw his chance.

They were calling it fight of the year from an early stage when in truth it looked like Rhodes was in line for a battering and once the fight turned they layed it on even thicker.

Good fight but not the best of the year.

Had a small wager on the Haye/Valuev fight. I thought the bookies had got Valuev's price wrong.
