I honestly do not see how someone can say Froch beat Kessler.

[boxasmash]

Froch got over confident in rounds 6-7 after bossing Kessler in 4 and 5. When you have guys like Tilleman judging fights you'ev got to go for the KO.

I'm going to watch it again. I think Froch is the superior fighter to Kessler and can knock him out next time. Some of those shots Froch was landed were sendind Kessler stumbling across the ring. Froch looked bigger and stronger on the attack, bossing Kessler with bombs.

If Froch was bigger and stronger, why was he backing up the whole fight?

[any craic lad?]

I had it 116-112 to Mikkel people here saying Froch hurt Kessler a couple off times fair enough but Kessler without a doubt had Froch going a couple aswell a number of close rounds but Kesslers constant pressure winning them for me.117-111 is a bit too wide but what do ya expect from that judge 116-112 or even 115-113 would be the fairest scorecards

He wasn't backing up the whole fight. He was also just stepping back and not running so don't start that ****.

Froch was taller than Kessler and it allowed him to use that advantage more.

I really don't feel Froch was hurt in that fight. You would have an argument Froch was hurt by the Kessler right to the nose if Froch didn't come straight back moving in and out of range throwing bombs.

Again, I maintain Froch is the stronger guy and superior boxer to Kessler. If they ever rematch he'll knock him out. He won't take time off again.

I love it when people who watch the fight on 14 inch internet streams insist they have the correct scorecard.

I watched it on Showtime HD on a 60 inch TV and I thought Froch edged it. To me he won the last 3 rounds and that got him the win.

what makes you think everbody else watched a stream? apparently you are the only one with a subscription to showtime and a big screen tv. i watched a stream and the showtime version and in my eyes kessler won.

people tend to forget all the body shots kessler landed. it was a close fight but the body shots sealed it for kessler

When we clearly saw evidence that he wasn't in the fight.

Yeah, whatever.

Froch did at time land some hard shots but failed to take advantage of them. Kessler outboxed him. In fact I felt Kessler took his foot of the pedal at times and allowed Froch to get back into the fight. This fight just made me ask myself how in the hell did Dirrell lose to Froch?

[mathed]

LOL, I had it 9-3 for Kessler or maybe 8-4 worst case. Froch looked sloppy as heck and he needs to focus on his fights more than Calzaghe IMO.

[AKATheMack]

Kessler won at least 7 rounds and I dont see a problem in giving him 10. Kessler was the aggressor the entire fight and threw his punches in combination. Froch definitely won 2 of the round based on him hurting Kessler, but I think people forget to score body punches because Kessler was tearing him up with that right to the body.
