Kessler did not win that fight!

Close fight but Kessler did not win. That fight was either a draw or Froch won by 2 pts but he did not win. He lost 4 of the first 5 rounds and a few rounds that I did give him could of easily went to Froch. Kessler fought a good fight but Froch was the better man. BTW, this was not a fight of the year, not even close. When I read results I expect more but other than the last 3 rounds the fight was boring and a jab fest. Round 11(I think it was round 11) could of been the round of the year though.

Though I agree that Froch should have won it was close enough for subjective variation in scores.

Froch hurt Kessler numerous times in that fight and Kessler only hurt Froch that one time in the middle part of it. And Kessler maybe rocked Froch in the last seconds of the fight. But other than that, Kessler was eating jabs and flush power punches on the way in on a regular basis pretty much. I can't for the life of me see how someone can give that fight to Kessler.

i counted the punches and also i divide round into two halfs. and mentaly compare winners of the half rounds. i even gave two close rounds to kess.

and still had it froch 115-113.

the wideness in judges scoreing was disconcerting.
but close enough fight to lean either way.

I felt the same way at 1st but I noticed Kessler's body attack. Also had Froch winning.

The only way you give all those early rounds to Froch is if you're trying to score them for him.

I agree. You would have to ignore the jabs Kessler landed in return and the pretty good body shots he was landing.

Because Froch mostly just threw jabs while Kessler pressed the action and landed more combinations. Froch got the better of the exchanges there were, but there weren't enough exchanges until the end of the fight when Froch was behind.

I cant for the life of me see how someone would give it to froch..


come on guys... Kessler clearly won

[Shattered Jaw]

I scored the first 5, 2-2-1. That's the only way to score them.

Froch won 4 and 5 clearly in my books.

Froch might of won that fight but hey... "What goes around comes around"... Froch criticized Dirrell for not standing and fight and he didn't do it either against Kessler, and IMo Dirrell won a close fight against Froch but Froch was given the hometown nod... and so was Kessler... that's life muh****as

well I think some of those rounds were as hard to score as a fight can get.
I gave a lot of even rounds. In the end I had Kessler edging Froch he just didnt do enough in some of the latter rounds. Either way both fighters impressed me.
