froch was robbed...

I'm calling him out on being a hypocrite, I never said who I think won this specific fight.

froch-kessler was much closer than dirrell-froch which i thought dirrell won clearly. i can imagine the scores would be like 120-108 119-109 118-110 for froch if the fight was in nottingham.

gutted, heres my take on the fight.

Before i start on the actual fight, froch was def not 100 percent. Thats not me coming up with a excuse for him, i honestly think he should havepulled out of this fight. Kessler is a world class fighter, and to not be in tip top condition(he had a burst eardrum and def injured right hand), is poor from froch. From what i heard he over sparred. Why he spars so much is beyond me, hes 32, you should cut down your sparring if anything. As i say hopefully he will learn from this.

Any, i had the fight 2 rounds to froch. I honestly cannot see it any closer than a draw at best.

Now normally i would be critical of froch, his cardio/workrate(from him being injured) was poor, especially in the mid rounds, where he was losing the rounds(from 6-8). But he won rounds 10,11, and 12.

Froch rocked kessler a number of times and did you se kesslers eye??it was almost vitali level.

Darrenn barker scored it to froch, as ddi the guardian newspaper....how the **** to kessler win by 4 and 6 rounds????

Boxing is becoming a joke. I wouldnt have minded a draw, or froch losing on a split decision, AT LEAST you could slightly argue that. But 6 rounds???unbelievable..**** like this is killimg boxing. Its like the paul williams matinex fight...robbery.

injuries aside, im still proud of froch, it was a great fight,espcially the last round. i thibk he will batter abraham...

you had a chance until you said that. If you think Martinez got robbed against P-Will, then you don't know how to score.

That decision was bull****; hometown decision. Froch won the fight 7-5.
Last round was epic though, i have a new found respect for Kessler, he didn't quit like he did against Ward.

Your boy Froch deserves so much more respect than he is getting, I guess since people are just happy he lost. He fought his heart out and does have a case that he won the fight, though I though Kessler won it.

117-111 was not a robbery, just a blind judge. There always seems to be one blind judge in these great fights.

Yes, like the dumb **** who had Juan Diaz winning 118-110.

I thought the fight was incredibly difficult to score.

Froch landed the bigger, cleaner punches...but come on guys, not once was Kessler hurt. In the 5th Froch landed a HUGE right hand that pushed Kess back, but Kess just calmly kept stalking.

Kess hurt Froch in the 8th...but that was one of the only clean punches he landed to the head....Kessler's body work however was excellent and really bothered Froch.

It really comes down to how you score rounds....it was Froch's big, cleaner punches against Kessler's pressure and consistency.

I will say this...Froch has a better claim at beating Kessler than he did Dirrell.....and Kessler is my favorite fighter in the tournament.

[-Hyperion-]

kessler whooped that ass.....****ing biased primetime commentary couldnt spin it for froch.....al bernstein had frochs balls in his mouth all night.....he even said he had it a draw before the 12th......and then kessler wins the 12th clearly and berstein still gives it to froch......
crotch didnt win more than 4 rounds....

[KingTito]

For ****'s sake, Froch lost. Get over it. It was a definite win for Kessler. Robbery?? That's just ******.

[catalinul]

Could have gone either way.

Does not consist a robbery.
