    Well then I should be embarrassed for Kessler and other fighters who have lost resoundingly to Carl Froch who have clearly had faster feet, faster hands, greater overall agility, and every other tangible advantage in their favor. Yes?

    Kessler is a better athlete. Froch is the superior fighter. Period.

      Well said, I enjoyed both the early rounds aswell but I can see how a casual fan will tend to enjoy the brawl more.
      I enjoy watching good boxers. Something these two are not. Froch lazy jab, followed by wide sloppy punches and kessler just no good was not fun to watch. Boxing Skill level rpunds 1-6 was poor. Sorry to say.

              The first three rounds were the deciding factor in my eyes.

              I was getting the impression that Kessler couldn't pull the trigger, at all. I was wrong, of course.

              But Froch put those early rounds in the bank, and in decisive fashion. Took Kessler till the 4th to even look like he showed up to fight, from my memory.

              Makes me wonder if Kessler would have let his hands go a little more in those earlier rounds...

              Great fight, regardless.

                It was a great shot both times. Froch took it really well.
