118-110 Froch
Kessler just wasn't busy enough to give many rounds too. And, every time he landed something significant, Froch came back with even bigger shots and more of them.
Pretty one-sided fight, in my opinion.
I will say this, however, I almost gave Kessler a 10-8 in round 11, and I think he could have stopped Froch had he had more left in the tank.Comment

I scored it 115-113 for Froch. Predicted Carl on points and knew it would be a close competative fight. Only surprises for me were Kesslers slow start and Carls vulnerability in that 11th round which he came back well from.
Apart from that it followd the script. Kesslers shown he is still a world class performer but if they were to have a decider it should be on neutral ground. Carl is now the money man at 168. Of the 3 options on the table. Ward and Hopkins would be ugly mauls and frustrating nights. A decider with Kessler would be fan friendly but they should leave it 6 months becuase that was a war.Comment

Adelaide Byrd's typically innept scoring was the only sour note on a great night of passionate, competitive and intriguing world class boxing.
Even the Froch camp must have winced when they heard that imbecilic score; it disrespected Mikkel's efforts and his moments of real success.
I remain completely and utterly perplexed as to how Byrd is allowed anywhere near these kind of top-level world title fights.
Time and again she has proved herself to be completely out of kilter with her fellow judges and the sheer eccentricity of her scoring suggests either a gross naivety or just plain, unforgivable incompetence.
I wanted Froch to win but I was disgusted by Byrd's cretinous scorecard. What exactly does she have to do to finally get herself fired?Comment
