WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-0, 20KOs) weighed in at 167.3 for his defense against Mikkel Kessler (42-2, 32KOs), who came in at 167.1, on Saturday night at the MCH Arena in Herning, Denmark.  Froch is taking on Kessler in the second stage of the Super Six Boxing classic and both men looked fit and focussed on the scales. The two fighters traded some last minute trash talking before they were separated.
