    I thought it was two close fights last night

    I thought both Froch - Kessler and Arreloa - Adamek were very close, and very enjoyable to watch, it was a good night of boxing.

    Froch - Kessler

    Many rounds were close, i think the rounds kessler won especially in the middle were more clear, whereas the rounds i gave froch could be argued to go the other way. I thought froch should've tried to put kessler on the back foot earlier.

    Arreola - Adamek

    Some people have said Adamek schooled Cris, I dont see it like that, I thought the first have of the fight Arreloas pressure won most of the rounds, in the second half Adamek won nearly all the rounds i think i gave Cris one round might have been the 10th cant remember. Adamek looked very good at times, a Haye - Adamek fight would be an interesting spectacle.

    Both fights had the same ridiculous card 117-111, which i think is a disgrace. I wouldnt mind seeing a rematch of either fight.

    No doubt in my mind Arreola was beaten up and outclassed last night. I thought he may have won two rounds. A lot of the time Adamek just had bad footwork and he looked hurt when he was just trying to flee away from Arreola's big ass.

    I agree on Kess/Froch though, close fight.

      I think big Cris might have got tired the second half of the fight, like Froch, the rounds I gave Arreola were closer than the rounds i gave Adamek, but only two rounds I think is a bit unfair on the big lad, Adamek is defo the tidier boxer but i just thought early Arreloa was controlling were the fight was being fought and did land a couple good shots.

      I picked both Kess and Adamek to win but i was impressed with both losing efforts.

        They were both close, but there was a clear winner in each in my opinion (Kessler and Adamek).

          I thought Kessler-Froch was a toss up, but Adamek clearly won his fight against Arreola.

            arreola lost because he got injured in my opinion,adamek won the first 3, arreola won the next 3 then adamek won round 9.

            arreola looked like he was on his way to winning the next 3 but he hurt his bicep even worse.

              Both good decisions. Kessler and Adamek are the right winners.

                  tbh from my live scoring of the kess fight i had it 7-3 with 2 rounds even, which is 117-113 i think. so i'm not even that concerned about the 117-111 as it just means he scored the two rounds i had even to kessler.

                  there were a few subjective rounds in there though, particularly early on.

                    yea i agree there was a few subjective rounds but 117-111 is horrible scoring, just my opinion.
