Rewatching Froch-Kessler now....

[P4P Opinion]

mckracken frochs trainer admit that froch didnt fight his own fight and fought kesslers type of fight and say he will learn from this close loss then , should stop this robbery talk ****e filks right there

Well I'm certainly not saying anything about a robbery (not that I think you're talking about me as such). I think it was an extremely close and competitive fight that I felt Froch edged. I have no problem with Kessler winning.

Froch was the aggressor the whole fight. (even backing up) I really want to see some punch stats because I know for a FACT Kessler didn't land more than Froch.

Froch the aggressor the whole fight? What the **** are you on about mate?
I watched the fight live via. a bad stream, but today I have watched it several times in good quality..
Kessler was the aggressor throughout the fight. Kessler was the more active fighter, Froch didn't do enough. Kessler landed more punches. Kessler arguably had the best combos. Kessler threw more combos.. though a lot of them missed. If you watch the fight, and actually PAY ATTENTION, both fighters were hitting air a lot of the time, not just Kessler. Also, in the early rounds, many of Frochs punches went to Kesslers guard. Kessler landed a lot of body punches and obviously worked.
It was a close fight, however.. But the best man on that night won. Live with it. The majority agrees with me.

Froch did land the jab while Kessler was coming in but to me they didn't seem to achieve anything whereas Kessler's jab was actually being used to keep Froch where he wanted him. Froch landed some good jabs in there, particularly early on, but I don't think they were enough to tip the scales by gaining points in effective aggression and clean punching.

Froch also did a good job of keeping Kessler from landing up top for most of the fight, but he still allowed Kessler to offer more in the way of offense than he did himself.

It was a close and competitive fight with quite a few subjective rounds but I think Kessler definitely deserved his win. I also think if Froch placed less emphasis on boxing Kessler and more on attacking him, he would have knocked him out late.

Funnily enough, I felt Kessler did a bit of a Calzaghe at times - unloading five/six punch combinations in which on average two punches half connected. While Froch missed bad when he missed, I felt he generally was the more accurate puncher. I'd be very interested in seeing the stats (not that I trust them completely).

was just meaning the nutthuggers who theres only mainly two really who are shouting robbery are a disgrace to these forums tbh , 1 actually judges fights based on how a fighters face looks after a fight lol . it was a very close fight and if it was in notts froch would have got edge by a point or 2 but u cant look at fights that way as if you do u need to look at fact loads of fights would have been different outcomes

Yeah that's true, Kessler had trouble with Froch's ranginess and it made it quite an awkward task for him to land clean punches. I liked how Froch was punching straight through Kessler's guard and landing when he threw, but he just didn't do it enough and was too content to let Kessler dictate the action.

Don't even mention Dirrell that guy is a disgrace. Froch showed how you go into a home town fighters backyard and give them a beating.

Froch easily outboxed and landed flush power shots for the first 5 rounds. Couple that with his jab, jab, jab jab jab in Kessler's face.

People keep going on about Kessler's body shots. Lmfao - sure, he landed probably 5-6 in the first 5-6 rounds. Big deal when Froch was landing bombs to the head of Kessler, coupled with stiff jabs and his own body work.

Suarerland STOLE that belt from Froch. Absolutely sickening way to treat a champion that beat you up in your own back yard.

LOL thats about the funniest post I ever read on this board.
Froch and his corner knew he lost right away, that should tell you something

[Shattered Jaw]

I have yet to see anyone explain how Kessler won any of the first 5 rounds. Let alone all 4/5 of them as some people claim!

He knew that he was on a Sauerland promoted show in Denmark with Tilleman as a judge dude. Froch isn't ******.

Froch was looking the better in those rounds in my eyes, round 5 he should have gone more for the KO, he looked to be fooling around to me (he must have thought he was up a lot aswell). Kessler came on from rounds 6-9 or so and i was worried that Froch was ruining it, then he came back and won 10 and 11 big. Round twelve was pretty close
