I'm a Froch fan and I had Kessler winning the fight

I feel Froch practically let Kessler win. He simply wasn't active enough to win rounds and let Kessler dictate the action by staying on the back foot. Every time he opened up he usually came out the more successful but he just couldn't sustain anything. Great performance by Kessler but Froch could have definitely won it with a better gameplan.

I agree with you that Froch was too passive. You can only be passive if you want to outbox the opponent like Dirrell outboxed Froch.

Yea but the rounds froch didnt work enough in (6,7,8), kessler won, yea, but that only wins you one round each time it happened, the rounds froch won (9,10, 11) were closer but he landed the cleaner punches, round 12 both had their moments so dont see how you can give either way, i think it was decided on how you perceived the opening rounds, very close rounds i think i had carl up 3 - 2 after 5 (cant remember which ones), he was out jabbing him, so that makes its 6 - 5 - 1 in favour of froch, i dont mind 7 - 5 either way, it certainly wasnt a robbery, but the 117-111 was, that, was a disgrace. Anyway my point is Kesslers work was more consistent throughout, he was competitive in nearly if not all the rounds, but when you score it on a round to round basis (the way its supposed to done), it could have gone either way.

It only could have gone either way if your a froch fan and from the UK, in other words if you dont know **** about boxing. To call what froch does boxing is to call what hitler did showing love to the ***ish community. What he meant by "if i was at home i would've won the fight" is that he's confident he would have gotten another bull**** decision like the homecooking he received at the expense of andre dirrell. froch is a big mouth, over sized,under skilled, european vic darcynyan...

It could've gone either way. First time I watched, I gave it to Froch. Second time I watched, I gave it to Kessler.

Either way is fine because I noted at least 3 rounds that could've gone either way.

Let's just bury this fight and say it was close and either man could've gotten the decision.

[100%BoXeOAzTeKa]

I'm not a fan of either but it was a hell of a fight. What it basically came down to was that Froch let Kessler win. The middle rounds could have gone either way but Kessler's activity won the rounds in my opinion. Froch did not press enough to win rounds. The W could have gone either way, that being said I did not have a problem Kessler winning the fight. As for the post fight interview, I thought Froch was being a ***** about it. Yeah if the fight took place in Nottingham you would have won, but guess what Froch? It didn't take place in Nottingham. I hate it when boxers already know ahead of time that they're not going to get a fair decision (according to them) and still do nothing about it. If you already know that this is going to happen, then don't leave any doubt that you won the fiight wchich Froch did not do. Just my two pesos regarding this fight.

Theres been about 20 polls and they all say the same thing, Kessler won. This 'Official' poll wont do anything to end this ongoing beef, and in all probability will just keep it alive.

Having said that Kessler clearly won in what was a close fight. I havent rewatched the fight yet but will do in the next couple of days.
