    Kessler-Froch... Your Opinions.

    Hey guys,

    Just got done watching the fight and I don't think the fight was as close as the commentary was leading us to believe.

    If you take the judging criteria:
    Clean Punching (25%)
    Effective Aggression (25%)
    Ring Generalship (25%)
    Defense (25%)

    I believe that Kessler clearly won 8 rounds.

    Not a flame thread at all.

    If you think Froch won, I'd like to hear your argument for him winning 7 rounds. I just simply couldn't find more than 4 to give him.

      Kessler won it and i like Froch. Kessler was the aggressor and throwing more... Those who think Froch won are being biased. He defiantly didn't win more then 7 rounds

          Im a froch fan, I thought kessler won by 2 rounds, 7 rounds to 5 is fair. I think the judge who scored it 117-111 must have filled in the scorecard before the fight started

            Cleaner Punches= Froch

            Ring generalship = Kessler

            Agression Kessler = Kessler

            Defense = Froch

            Froch landed more jabs and I will be surprised if the punch stats did not back froch

            If the fight was in a neutral place or in england, froch would have won, he was edging some of the rounds that kessler got, a lot of them were 50-50 rounds or rounds that froch clearly won.

            I aint begruding kessler winning, I had the fight a draw, it was that close but I do think people are getting hate in the way of not giving froch his respect and the fact they cant admit he possibly won the fight but lost it on the judges.

            but you know froch only has himself to blame, he could have won that fight decisvely, in 3 rounds he really put the accelaration peddal and dominated those 3 rounds but then backed off.

            Like I said the punch stats will be interesting.

              Had it a draw.

              IO thought the fight could have gone either way,7 to 5.

              116-112 and 117-111 is to wide for me.

                I'd definitely love to see the punch stats. Although I think they would back Kessler.

                I'm not a Froch hater. He definitely gained some major respect from me tonight. Proved he can hang in there with the A listers in boxing.

                  Yeah. Kessler beat the **** out of the air. Watching the replays I was SHOCKED about how bad his accuracy was.

                    That ^

                    I scored it a draw earlier on, a lot of rounds were very close, so it could have gone either way if you scored a few of those rounds differently.
