you and domicano really can't score fights, yall should def rewatch it tonight.
He purposely scores fights horribly because he hates when people say Calzaghe would have schooled Williams. Which I never said that but I seen in other topics people say that to Burner and he gets offended by it a bit.
I think Burner hates Calzaghe because people talk bad about Paul Williams and say how Calzaghe would beat him.
I had it a draw as well but that was me watching as a Brit and a Carl Froch fan. Gave him 2 or 3 of the close rounds.
Definitely didn't think Froch won the fight.
If I watched it again as a neutral rather than as a fan I'm pretty sure I'd score it Kessler by a couple of rounds.
I had Kessler winning 7-5.
I think he's a cut above Froch who I always felt was overrated and rather one dimensional, he was likely going to lose when he fought someone of Kessler's ability and experience.
The real winners though are us fans, that fight was just action packed.
I had Kessler up like 9-3 or 9-2-1 even honestly. Froch did a bunch of sailoresque punching and crazy "cobra" like head movements but he landed like 30 meaningful punches all fight. Froch is over rated and has the weirdest style I've ever seen.
Froch: 2, 11, 12
Kessler: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 ,7, 8, 9, 10
I said this fight would not be close
1,3,4,5,10,11 Froch
2,6,7,8,9,12 Kesseler
DRAW!!!
GREAT FIGHT THOUGH...!
i also had it a draw. that was the best fight in the tournament so far.
burner has been on froch's nuts lately, so i wasn't surprised to see his scorecard.
The truth according to boxingscene
http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=380065
about 80% voting in favour of Kessler.
No controversy here.
copied and pasted my post in another similar thread.
i had it closer than most i think, 115-113 to Kessler, had Kessler 1 round up going into the last round, and he took the main page out of the Calzaghe play book in the last round swinging for the fences, missed most, Froch threw less, probably landed about the same amount of punches though.
Kessler just nicked the last round, and therefore won rather than drew imo.
looking forward to watching it again though.
ps. The big red nosed legend Peter Schmeical doing the interviews. Better than Froch and Kessler combined at his sport, maybe the best goalkeeper thats ever lived, and Danish and Manchester United legend. Lennox Lewis can count himself lucky a man that size with razor sharp reflexes and great hands chose football as a kid lol!! (yes im pissed!)
I had round 1 even.
The rest I scored 7-4 Kessler.
If you were really looking to score the fight for Froch you could probably give him all the close rounds, but there is no way any non bias fan could score that for Froch. 117-111 was maybe a bit much, but the other 2 cards were spot on.
Absolutely great fight tho, what a final round!!
Because none of them had any defense at all, yes. Froch is a joke. He has a good chin, and that's the only thing he's got going for him.
He got heart and packs a decent punch
Fights aren't scored on how you throw your hooks mate. Both fighters landed clean shots end of no matter what you say about Froch defence

If throwing the widest hooks in boxing history and having zero defense and movement equals win, then Froch would be the GOAT.
Maybe Burner score fights on those criterias?

Like I said in the RBR thread, anyone who scored the fight for Froch doesn't know shit about boxing or how to score. Froch was dominated, there was nothing close about the fight at all.
Unless they are on a controlled substance, Kessler clearly won the fight 116-112 my scorecard. I predicted a Kessler win and also a Dirrell win, so Haglersteelchin knows his boxing. People said Kessler was shot and Froch would STOP-Kessler?? I said Froch has no hand speed or foot work to do what calzaghe or Ward did. Froch lunges punches and throws wide shots, he is luckey Kessler is not a slick fighter, when he fights Ward he will suffer vicious counters.
