Just watched the fight as steams were rubbish last night.
Good fight. I scored it 115-113 to Froch, however I would have no Issues with it being Scored 115-113 to Kessler or a Draw. Many Close rounds but Carl landed the better punches and IMO deserved the win.

Well done Kessler. Not going to cry like a Dirrell fan.
The Judge who scored 117-111 is a complete Joke, is this guy seriously going to be allowed to judge again? That is Cheating, the Ringside press and commentary mostly had a Froch win by one or two rounds.
This guy must go public and explain his scoring or never be let near a boxing ring again, It seriously effects the sports credibility.
Kessler Nicked a close fight, didnt deserve IMO but come one!! Froch had no chance with corrupt judges. WTF was he watching?
Cheating Bastards!!!!!

The thing dumbasses like you need to understand is that a judge sits in one isolated location and doens't see what you get to see in the luxury of your home from 25 differetn camera angles, replays in between rounds, etc. This is why they have 3 judges and all seated in separate locations around the ring, in order to have a margin of error. There will simply be many things one particular judge won't be able to see as he's sitting in only one location.
Exactly.
People can bitch as much as they like, but 117-111 to 116-112 for Kessler is the correct score.
Kessler clearly won 8 rounds, and there was one close round which could have gone to either.
I was rooting for Kessler and I had it 116-113 (7-4-1), IMO any score between 116-112 to 115-113 for Kessler is acceptable, but no way Froch won that fight.
Kessler won 9-3 or 8-4, Froch landed some jabs but that's it.
hence a 4-6 point scorecard.....
had the judge scored it 10-2 for kessler, i could understand the outrage.
but i'll watch it when it re-airs on showtime, and see what's what.

115-113 for Froch? Lol, get the **** out of here biased brit.
I said in a thread days ago that Froch would have to win by KO, i knew he wasn't getting the nod in a close fight. I watched a shitty stream, was it a knock down or did Kessler slip, I know the ref called no knockdown.
It was a slip, Froch's foot looked like it kind of tripped Kessler up
if half the fight could've went either way, i don't understand how ppl are disgusted by a 6 point scorecard. it's really not that complicated.
the judge took 3 of those close rounds that somebody might've scored for froch, and he scored them for kessler.
Wait till the fight is on youtube or wherever, and sccore the fight yourself, it wont be 117-111 to kessler

yes, more than half the rounds could have gone either way, it was a great fight and a good show for boxing fans. true war
I hope the Froch-Abraham fight is in england

The judge that had the 117-111 was the referee in the Reid-Ottke robbery.ain
Didnt realise that. How The Fcuk is he a judge??? He Cannot be a judge again
Yes, he will continue to be a judge, just like Gale Van Hoy who scored the first Diaz-Malignaggi fight 119-110 for Diaz. Just like Pierre Benoist who scored 119-110 for Paul Williams over Sergio Martinez. Bad judges are like pedophile priests; they are never held accountable and they continue to be allowed to **** people!
they should be banned from judging but they wont be, it dont work like that

Damn beat me to it. Not long after Van Hoy and Benoist gave those ridiculous scores, they were out scoring out high-profile fights.

i didn't see the fight, but from what i've heard, about 6 or 7 rounds were close, and could've went either way.....
yes, more than half the rounds could have gone either way, it was a great fight and a good show for boxing fans. true war
I hope the Froch-Abraham fight is in england
I thought it was a competetive fight, thought the first 6 rounds, froch landed the cleaner and harder pucnhes. Kessler came on strong round 7-11, froch seemed to tire into the late rounds. I had no problem with kessler getting the decision, but the 117-111 card was a JOKE
