Dunno. It takes place in the U.K. so probably late night/early morning Thai time.

Does anybody know which channel it will be on over here? Also if it is repeated at a more respectable hour on the Sunday morning?

If you avoid the result it should be on Pirate bay by the time you wake up.

Yes it was very close & i can't quite see how one of the judges scored it 18-10 to Froch :shock:
The 116-112 from one of the other judge's was harsh on Kessler :?
The 3rd was 115-113, which was nearer the mark.

Pretty much the reverse of their previous fight in Denmark :wink: :D

Terrific contest & true grit performances from both fighters.

Where to next for both boxers??

I'm sure Froch will be lining up Andre Ward again.
Don't think he'll win that rematch, though it will probably be closer than the last fight, especially if Ward come's to the UK.

As for Kessler, he said he would retire if he lost.
Not so sure he will after that performance, still has a lot to offer.
As it's 1-1 with Froch, a rematch would be a good deal for both fighters,neutral venue?? :cheers:
Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

I see a rematch but not in the immediate future. My guess would be in Germany - Hamburg or Berlin. Both are within easy reach by car for Danes and for Brits by plane.

Great fight. Foch's recovery in the 11th was huge. Deserving winner.

If faught on neutral ground the result would have been a draw. The same goes for the first match in Denmark. But I do agree, what a great fight it was.
