Froch won the first fight, and would win it in a second fight. The location of the venue changed the result of the fight by the judges and even the audience getting influenced by the crowd. In the first fight, it was Froch's jab vs. Kessler's right hand to the body, Froch's jab landed consistently clean and helped him land other punches from round to round while Kessler couldn't land much of anything cleanly except for that shot.
Fighting in the UK would make all the difference and if he pressed the fight instead of fighting off of the back foot, he'd dominate.
I have Kessler winning in the original fight by ONE point. This is the only unfinished biz as Ward clearly beat Froch and probably will beat him again.
These are two of the most likeable men in the game, two similar style which will gel well again. I smell trilogy as well, make the third fight neutral in Vegas, both of them have respect for each other. This fight is a very good fight for boxing. Froch might have some decent banter but he respects every opponent.
I think Froch wins this one, I thought he won the first one by a point.

Errr…I think you need to watch the fight again
It was a close fight but nearly everyone had mikkel winning it. Even the BBC live scoring had mikkel winning a close decision.
If they fight again I think it could be closer. I would say mikkel has lost 10-20% of what he had in his prime and that Froch is closer to his prime.
But I would still say that mikkel takes the decision in a second fight.

Not really sure. Had Kessler by a point in 1st encounter. That fight took the "eliteness" out of Kessler. I mean his eyes was damaged in that fight. I don't he was ever the same after the fight with Froch.
