        Absolutely not. Kessler applauded as they announced Froch the winner. Not even an ash cloud will Kessler be using as an excuse.

        That being said I was way to involved in the fight (jumping up and down, boxing and yelling) to score it, but even though Kessler scored the cleaner more crisp points, my general feeling definitely is, that Froch was the better man on the night. He just had those 15 % more to give and take.

        I'm very happy with the fight, but a bit sad, that I was so wrong in my perception, that Kessler would take Froch out before round 6 with a vicious left hook followed up by a straight right to the mouth.

        People were right about Froch just wanting it more and having that edge on Kessler, but I'm happy, that Kessler proved all the critics wrong in saying, that he was finished.

        Only Ward, Froch and Dirrell beats Kessler IMO - the rest of the division do not (Bhop is not in the division).

          To be fair, Kessler did say he thought he won and repeatedly said the crowd influenced the judges at the post-fight presser.

          Has Kessler given any indication yet as to whether he will fight on?

          Dirrell isn't beating Kessler, especially not now (and I don't even think back then).

              I happen to think he has a better case for winning or atleast drawing fight II than Froch had for winning fight I actually.


              Kessler has only said that he was not ready to say anything. I reckon it will be at least a couple of weeks before a decision is made.

                  Funnily enough, I was thinking just the opposite. Opinions & bias, eh. Even when we think we're being fair.

                    I'm thinking prime Dirrell. Dre isn't beating anyone of note now and the next year. Will he be back on the horse at one point, I think he'll make it very difficult for either Froch or Kessler to win.

                      Right.

                      To be clear: I definetely feel Froch deserved the win in fight II. Same with fight I for Kessler.
