How did you score Kessler - Froch II?

Am sensing Battlingnelson is pissed about the score card, hope he remembers the scorecard from the first fight where one judge had it by 6 points to Kessler.

froch by 4...

Froch by 3+

Just watched it last night and I personally thought it was a pretty close fight with Froch winning by about 2 rounds. Kessler landed some good punches but he wasn't active enough. He looked too cautious at times, you just can't do that coming into the champ's backyard.

Whoever voted for Kessler by 1 or 2 points in the poll needs to change their username to Stevie Wonder tbh

I thought Froch CLEARLY won when I saw it live. I have watched a couple of different broadcasts since and I think Froch won by 5 or 6 points. Kessler had a few good moments but anytime Froch lifted the pace he struggled, it was competitive but not as close as the first fight IMO.

Adelaide Byrd's typically innept scoring was the only sour note on a great night of passionate, competitive and intriguing world class boxing. Even the Froch camp must have winced when they heard that imbecilic score; it disrespected Mikkel's efforts and his moments of real success. I remain completely and utterly perplexed as to how Byrd is allowed anywhere near these kind of top-level world title fights. Time and again she has proved herself to be completely out of kilter with her fellow judges and the sheer eccentricity of her scoring suggests either a gross naivety or just plain, unforgivable incompetence. I wanted Froch to win but I was disgusted by Byrd's cretinous scorecard. What exactly does she have to do to finally get herself fired?

116-112 Froch. That is the absolute closest I can get it.

I scored it 115-113 for Froch. Predicted Carl on points and knew it would be a close competative fight. Only surprises for me were Kesslers slow start and Carls vulnerability in that 11th round which he came back well from. Apart from that it followd the script. Kesslers shown he is still a world class performer but if they were to have a decider it should be on neutral ground. Carl is now the money man at 168. Of the 3 options on the table. Ward and Hopkins would be ugly mauls and frustrating nights. A decider with Kessler would be fan friendly but they should leave it 6 months becuase that was a war.

9-3 Froch I gave Kessler rounds 5,6 and 11.. That's is all.

Froch won 8 - 4 this fight. He won the last fight too. Kessler has never actually beaten Froch. It's 2-0 to Froch on my card. That's why there's no need for a third fight because Froch has now beaten Kessler twice. miss Adelaide is that you?

Ironically my scorecard was EXACTLY the same as Raskat - 11 rounds even 1 round for Kessler this was a clear robbery!! ! And that round was a 10-8 round. Robberies just don't come more obvious than here.

118-110 Froch Kessler just wasn't busy enough to give many rounds too. And, every time he landed something significant, Froch came back with even bigger shots and more of them. Pretty one-sided fight, in my opinion. I will say this, however, I almost gave Kessler a 10-8 in round 11, and I think he could have stopped Froch had he had more left in the tank.

Ironically my scorecard was EXACTLY the same as Raskat - 11 rounds even 1 round for Kessler this was a clear robbery!! ! I asked him in the thread he made with his Halls Of Fame account how many rounds he scored even but he didn't reply. What's the odds of it being atleast 3? Good odds I'd imagine.

115-113 Froch I can live with but it was closer than most people saw. Froch´s workrate was very high!, but Kessler blocked a lot of them. I can see how some might think Kessler got outworked by Froch and yes Froch poked him quite often with his weird jab, but besides that Kessler landed the better and cleaner shots, stats say 53% of his power-punches. Not trying to take anything away from Froch who was better than ever IMO, but to me Kessler lost the fight in round 1-3. But even if Kessler had won round 1-3 I dont think he would have won by decision in the UK, with a scorecard of 118-110 we better have some law preventing women from scoring any fight ever again. I watched this fight 5 times now, one of them in slow motion and my conclusion is the same, I dont argue giving Froch the victory 115-113. But if you have the time to analyze this fight and watch it in slow motion you will see it was a lot closer than you did the first time. Im sure you didnt reward Kessler for any of the punches Froch blocked, but Im sure you did it the other way around. Froch is always solid planted on his feet compaired to Kessler who is up on his toes, because of this Kessler was "moved" by the puches he blocked quite often, Froch wasnt. Add the nearly 20.000 english fans screaming everytime Froch threw a punch, this will influence everyone scoring the fight for sure. Its another case of quantity vs quality, like I said I will give it to Froch 115-113, had Kessler started before round 4 it would have been different. BTW ref wasnt about to stop Kessler in round 12, if you watch close enough you will see why he was about to go between them.

7-5 Froch.

Froch by 3 rounds, stronger, fitter and jabbed his way to victory. No complaints on the results of both fights. It would be nice to see a third although I feel Kessler with the longer career is starting to show emotional battle scars now. Both true fighters.

I had it 7-5 for Froch though.

scored a draw, but i could see it as 7-5 or 8-4 for froch..was a couple of tough rounds to score that i gave to kessler.
