Froch seeks revenge against Kessler

Tuesday, February 05 2013 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Carl Froch wants to avenge his 2010 defeat to Mikkel Kessler when the pair meet for their super-middleweight rematch at London's O2 Arena on May 25th.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Carl Froch, IBF super-middleweight world champion
    "People who follow boxing know I've had epic battles with top top-level fighters, but I've still not had the chance to avenge the defeat against Mikkel Kessler. So for me, it's a chance for me to set the record straight and come come close to securing my legacy."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Mikkel Kessler, WBA super-middleweight world champion
    "I want him (Froch) to admit I won the (2010) fight because I thought so. And now I told him, I said 'I never got the rematch against (Joe) Calzaghe, so I'm going to give you the rematch some day. And now we're here and it happened, and I'm ready for a big, big war."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Carl Froch, IBF super-middleweight world champion (on fighting in front of home crowd)
    "I think it can be the difference between a win or a loss, it really can, because in a fight of this magnitude, that's really going to be close again... I mean I can beat Mikkel Kessler, I know what I need to do to beat him, but it's not going to be a mis-match, it's not going to be one-sided. I'm not going to go in there and knock him out in two rounds, the same way he is not going to do that to me. This fight is going to be very, very close, so I think 17-thousand cheering fans, you know, probably there might be 12 (thousand) of them on my side. He's going to bring his fair share of fans, but I'll have the majority of the crowd on my side. That can be the difference between winning and losing."
