Froch/Kessler was not a great fight....

[mrgreenfingers]

I expect a few better fights before the years out but it will defo be one of the more enjoyable fights this year, certainly so far. 2010 has some great match ups though. Good year for boxing, good first half so far at least.

his KO power is there all night he just isnt able to use it until late in the fight. arthur is slow so he cant really get to his oponents early, he does let them wear themselfs out early but more than anything hes studying them. watching their movement patter and looking for defensive flaws, then when hes got his timing down he sets them up for a KO punch.
abraham has more pop than bute, its just that bute is faster and more agile, he gets of much quicker and can land shots early in fights.

i think that sums up the way arthur fights pretty well

One of the best fights of this year IMO, i thought it was a FOTY CANDIDATE but not the FOTY.

Apart from the feeling out rounds, I thought they were all really good rounds.

I thought is was a pretty good fight but not great.

[Pugilistic™]

It was a good fight but not fight of the year stuff imo.

[Silencers]

For 10 rounds the fight was pretty good, not FOTY stuff or anything but entertaining. If the whole fight was fought like the last 2 rounds of the fight though, it definitely would be a candidate for FOTY. As it is, I think round 11 could be a contender for round of the year.

it was a good fight for the boxing fans

[SirTomJones]

Yeah it was a good fight.


Had me on the edge of my seat.

A lot of rounds were **** but to me round 12 saved it, it was a good fight. Not great but good. Diaz VS Malignaggi I was better.

Froch/Kessler was not a great fight, sure the last round was excellent but overall it was not a particularly great fight, not FOTY like Showtime were hyping it, agree?

I agree it wasnt a great fight in the truest sense. But what was great was the anticipataion of who was going to get the upper hand, and the prospect of what might happen, rather than what did actually happen.
