    rewatched FROCH KESSLER and 118-110 doesnt seem to wide now.

    I was live at the fight, and as a froch fan I was very nervous, and only scored it to him by 2/3 rounds. But as I say I didn't watch the fight relaxed. etc.

    I watched it on sky 2 in HD yesterday and Honestly there are strong arguments for froch winning the first 5/6 rounds. He outlanded Kessler in all of those rounds. Kessler certainly started to improve in round 4, but froch was continually licking him with the Jab.

    I rescored the fight and honestly have Froch winning by 6 now.

    On a side Note Jim watts card was Hlarious, he practically had them level goinginto rounds 10, which was imo Kesslers best periods, yet in the end had froch up by 4.

    He was coming out with BS like "froch has won the round because hes walking through kesslers shots" or "frochs shots are more hurtful"

    Just terrible, hes almost as bad as Rawlings.

      which rounds and why.

      For example watch round 5 mute in HD. Froch out lands him and lands just as many quality shots The unch stats show(like the dirrell fight) FROCH outlanded Kessler in near enough every round. Whilst Kessler had good moments of quality, froch did as well, so what happened inbetween these moments??Well FROCH was continualy licking Kessler with that conbra like jab.

      Even round 11, froch was wining the round until the 3 big shots he took, but even after the 3 big shots, he came back with some excellent quality of his own.

      Ironically Kesslers best round imo was round 12, it was only the last 40 seconds that froch turned it around.

      The point im making is boxing so subjective that it is no travesty to score it by as wide as 118-110. Im not saying I agree with that, but theres certainly strong cases statically.

        I had it fairly close first time around watching live but on rewatching (sober!) i made it 116-112, 117-111 would have been exceptable too. One of those fights were it's hard fought all the way and most rounds are close but at the same time one man clearly been the superior fighter

          I think, 2nd time watching I had it 117-111 to froch, I have no issues now with the 118-110, what people did not realise was, in pretty much all decent kessler rounds, froch did slightly better, he was more active and landed some very clean shots in the same round

          what swayed rounds inf avour of kessler were that he was losing, you tend to give the person losing a round if he improves rather than winning it at times, human nature.

            Kessler did not have one round where he clearly won. He had a few which you could give him for the more eye catching work but he still got outlanded in basically every round.

            I still wouldn't have it quite 118/110 but it was a clear Froch win by at least 4 rounds.

            Initially I had it 116-113, so maybe 117/116-112 would be a better reflection on the fight.

              I haven't watched it a second time. I had it either a draw or 115-113 for Froch. I was surprised at my score as I clearly felt Froch won the fight. His jab was working phenomonally. I guess the scoring depends on how much you value quantity versus quality. Whichever way you put it, there shouldn't really be no issue as to who was the winner.

              Froch nearly doubled his punch output from the first fight. Thats quite an acheivement. Nearly unbelieveable.

                Kessler definitely won 4,5, and 6. He definitely won the 11th, I think it was the 11th where he made Froch chicken dance for a second. There's 4 clear rounds right there, and I thought Kessler had a chance at the draw going into the 12th.

                  Overall I felt like Froch was the superior boxer and had got the best of Kessler, but my scorecard ended a draw. You have to remember that boxing is scored on a round by round basis.
