By Scott Gilfoid: The timing of the rematch between IBF super middleweight champion Carl Froch (30-2, 22 KO’s) and Mikkel Kessler (46-2, 35 KO’s) isn’t good for the 35-year-old Froch in his May 25th fight against the Dane at the O2 Arena in London, UK.
It would have been much better for Froch to be facing Kessler immediately after Froch’s defeat at the hands of WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward in December 2011, because Froch has had two easy fights since then and he’s now under the crazy belief that he can beat Kessler by throwing lots of punches in combinations.
