Carl Froch's showdown with Mikkel Kessler will decide who wins the Super Six Series, claims Peter Schmeichel.
Andre Dirrell and Arthur Abraham may have something to say about the comments from Schmeichel, who is presenting Danish TV's coverage of the fight, but Froch v Kessler is the fight everyone has been looking forward to since the Super Six began.
Saturday's contest, which is exclusively live on Primetime, is finely balanced as the current WBC super-middleweight champ Froch takes on the former holder of the crown in Kessler.
Kessler's stock may have fallen since he faced Joe Calzaghe in their unification clash in November 2007 and the Dane is coming off a shock loss to Andre Ward.
But he has the plus of home advantage and the fight will take place in front of several thousand screaming Danes in Herning.
The unbeaten Froch, who despite being a year older than Kessler is much the fresher fighter, was unhappy about having to fight in Herning, which is the Danish equivalent of Kettering, and hard for his fans to reach.
His travel plans were also affected by the volcanic dust cloud and he finally arrived in Denmark today - four days later than he had originally planned.
That aside, everything else has gone like clockwork for Froch, who, like our other champions Amir Khan and David Haye, likes to put on a show for the fans.
