If that had been a win for froch, it would have been robbery of the decade. Kessler clearly won. Almost all of the posters on boxingscene had him as winner. Same for the british media. Punchstat numbers was also clearly in favour of the dane.
Too many people drinking the Froch cool-aid.

This will be make or break for Kessler. He's going in as slight underdog this time, in Froch's back yard. Can't wait for this one. Have a feeling Froch will get the decision this time, he's on a roll and has beaten better opposition than Kessler since their first fight. But on paper it's 50-50.

If you really think it would have been a robbery to give the decision to Froch, you're more biased than I thought. If you know how to score a fight, you know that the fight was very close. About four or five of the rounds could have been given either way. A points verdict for either fighter beyond a two point lead would have been robbery, but nothing else. Nothing remotely clear about it.

I'll be at the rematch anyway. Can. Not. Wait.Last edited by P4P Opinion; 12-20-2012, 09:52 AM.

Originally posted by P4P Opinion View PostAs I said, 7-5 is fine, it reflects a close fight, which it was. Calling it clear though, is obviously bollocks. As you rightly say, being at the fight is not an advantage to scoring, it is in fact is a hindrance. I mean I scored the Froch-Dirrell fight for Froch on the night when I was there, but on second viewing on television it's clear that Dirrell wins an ugly fight. Far too many close rounds in the Froch-Kessler fight for anything to be clear.
I'll be at the rematch anyway. Can. Not. Wait.
Anyway the re-match is going to be a barn-burner as well. If at all possible, I will try to be there. Looking forward to have a pint with the brit Froch fans from boxingscene.
