...that makes me want to root for their opponents?
Haye with his distasteful remarks, which even in the context of generating box office, crossed the line.
Amir Khan with his arrogance and excuse-making/whining after defeats in recent years.
And now Froch who said he wanted to 'kill' Kessler (although he later apologised).
I'm not big into boxing but tonight's contest looks worth paying Sky Box Office for.
And I'll be hoping Kessler wins.

I don't agree with Burnsey there, but I'll be right behind Froch. He's great to watch and is a damn fine boxer!

It's hype, pure & simple. Buy into it, or ignore it.

Apparently they are big mates.
Off your nut mate. If you can't back your own you might as well sell up and move on.
So you blindly follow someone because they are your 'own'?
How poignant that is as an idea considering the (non-sporting) events of this week. We'd be in a heck of a lot of trouble if everyone thought like that.
This could be the fight of the year. Both good fighters and both have heart. A classic me thinks.

Oh and yes, I'm behind our man ;)
Have to agree with Scarto. While I admire Froch's style, the fact that he is a tosser (as British boxers seem to invariably be) makes me back his opponent.
The last fight was brilliant; I'll be watching tonight. Don't care who wins if it's anything like last time...
Nothing to do with blind allegiance. He's a warrior and he's British. Reason enough to back him against the Dane. The kind of steely mentality that defines top sports men and women and put this island firmly on the map. Haye and Khan are a different story but to hope that the Dane wins emphasizes what a mug you are.
And there is your answer!!
Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

Yep...and I have ...and watching it now.
Now THAT was a fight. Both great boxers. Froch's greater punch-rate won him the fight.
Absolutely. Well worth the money!
Another classic and huge respect to both men taking that kind of punishment. Froch clearly going to win on points.
GREAT fight, loved it. Start to finish it was a fantastic, evenly-matched, professionally fought and exciting contest. The conditioning and resilience that the pair of them showed was unbelievable. My favourite fight of recent times by some margin. Worth every penny :)
According to the radio, Kessler is 50% British (mother from Salisbury).
