    A guy like Cotto or Marquez would've left the ring
    They would have left storming and crying for the next few years!

        I thought the fight was close, he probably felt he won a close decision near home and lost a close decision away from home.

        He might be thinking of the 3rd fight if there was a stipulation in the contract. He might be at the point where he just doesn't have the passion for boxing anymore, like tyson once did towards the end of his career.

          Kessler made big money so of course he was happy.
          plus he doesn't have a delusional grandiose ego like the
          other guy that night. Groves will be the new 168 champ shortly.

            Froch and Kessler are warriors, and I thought clearly Froch won both fights anyway. After the second fight Kessler had one official win over Froch on his record when he probably was aware he lost both fights. That's probably why he was happy. But he's a cool dude so no disrespect intended. I just had Froch winning both fights.

              Guys like Kessler realise that the margins are fine at the top level and you're likely to pick up losses along the way. Losing a fight is not the end of the world.

                Maybe that's the reason froch won the second fight, He wanted it more then Kessler.
                I don't know other then kessler deserves respect anyway.
                Kessler looked tired in the second fight against froch, offcourse he showed glimts of how good he was/could have been. And anybody but froch would have been atleast knocked down of some of the best shots he landed on froch.
                Sadly kessler has been injury plaged and lacked motivation the latest years.
                From the perdomo fight he seemed to have lost handspeed and that espeally that made him so good-PRESISION.

                He underestimated ward heavily. Almost everybody did, bookies, trainers and people inviolved in the supersix.
                He traveled to wards hometown not in his best shape, got that narssist virgil hunter in his locker room ding his dirty tricks.
                The ref lets ward headbutt cuts, hold and ruin the fight. at the same time you realize what a limited danish trainers he have.
                I get disappointed in kessler but still awed by his toughness and attitude.
