By Scott Gilfoid: IBF super middleweight champion Carl Froch (30-2, 22 KO’s) thinks he can drag WBA champion Mikkel Kessler (46-2, 35 KO’s) into the later rounds next Saturday night and drown him in front of a packed O2 Arena in London, UK. The place will be filled with Froch’s British fans and he feels he can draw energy from them to get the stoppage.
Froch said to Sky Sports News “I’m ready to do the business and get redemption against Mikkel Kessler. It’s still going to be just as brutal, just as vicious, just as hard early on, but as the fight goes into 8, 9 and 10, and it’s in the championship rounds, 10, 11 and 12, that’s when I can take him and clean him out, knock him out and force a late stoppage.”
