By Dan Henderson: This Saturday night will see the highly anticipated rematch between Carl Froch and Mikkel Kessler. Their first fight was an action packed twelve rounder in which Kessler was announced the winner via a unanimous decision with scores of 116–112, 115–113 and 117–111. I had scored the bout closer than that but that is now history, the question on everyone’s lips is can Froch win the rematch?
I believe that he will, since the fight Froch has gone on to become the IBF super middleweight champion after mauling former unbeaten champion Lucian Bute inside five rounds in Nottingham. I’m not saying this will be an easy fight because Kessler is a world class operator who will bring everything to this fight.
