Comments Thread For: Froch: If I Was Back Home, I Would Have Beaten Kessler

[Dave Rado]

What about that ridiculous score-card for Kessler that said he won like almost every single round? You don't think that ******ed judge wasn't swayed by the crowd?

What about the judge who gave Williams almost every round against Martinez? Did you put that down to the crowd? I put it down to crap judging. The crowd appreciated Martinez as much as they did Williams.




PS - I just saw your sig, I didn't know ... I've looked up the threads about it now, and it's very sad news. Samurai was my favourite poster, not so much because of what he said about boxing, but because he was such a big-hearted person.

[P4P Opinion]

I had Kessler winning a close but clear decision. I was impressed by Kessler's heart, but I wasn't too impressed by much else. At times he threw a lot of combinations that hit nothing but arms and back. Kessler landed the bigger shots though and generally controlled the rounds. Froch needed to fight at a higher tempo to claim the decision, as he looked to be getting the better of the wilder exchanges. Great fight with the right decision. I can't see Kessler getting revenge over Ward or beating Dirrell though.

Just rewatched many of the rounds. I'll rewatch it all at some point. This is a very close fight. The 116-112 and 117-111 cards are too wide IMO.

That Williams Martinez card probably has a case for the worst in boxing history.

Anyone could see Martinez blasted Williams for the first 4 rounds.

I had it 116-112 for Kessler. Close rounds, good fight with a great ending.

[Pullcounter]

I dont see Froch lasting at least 6 rounds with AA. With the way he fought this fight, hands down 90% of the time, even with his power, he couldnt even scratch AA's jaw.

This is the end of the line for Froch.

AA will brutally knock him out into early retirement!!

froch definitely is gonna need better defense against AA

I had it 116-112 Kessler, it was close.

I don't think it was a FOTY candidate thought. It was a jab fest that got sloppy, TBH.

I think that Froch won the fight by a slight margin. Outjabbed Kessler and landed more power punches from what I saw with more power on top of it except for that one round of where Kessler hurt Froch. It was a close fight, but I think people are being too hard on Froch. I think Froch will beat Abraham too. Kessler and Froch both can.

Youre wrong on this one, started drinking earlier than usual tonight eh?

[Boss Don]

It was a good fight but both fighters suck neither one will win the tournament no skills at all just wild brawling I thought Kessler was better than that Ward or Dirrell got this easy
