    Did anyone score the Slip/Knockdown of Kessler as a knockdown? I did as I felt the punches that Froch threw resulted in Kessler losing his balance and slipping.

    You have to be a troll. You can’t call something a knockdown if the referee doesn’t, you utter mong. And it clearly wasn’t a knockdown unless you’re desperately trying to find a reason to give points to Froch.

    No, the ref didn't score it so I didn't. It keeps my card inline with the what the judges are doing.

    No, it was the best of kessler heart wise but maybe the worst of him technique wise.

    Froch said, im going to have a war and beat kessler and thats where his tactics began and ended for me. Its what cost him imo

    I don't score KDs if the ref doesn't class it as a KD.

    i had kessler winning by 2 rounds, froch just didnt do enough, he spent too much time landing single shots and stopping to admire his work instead of following them up and throwing more.

    Just remembered. I had a dream this morning after my nightshift, Froch getting totally outboxed by Ward.

    Means **** all obviously but I just thought I'd mention it.;-)

    It was a pretty close fight, but one-eyed Kessler was the clear winner.

    Scored it a close win for Froch. Had no problem with it going either way.

    If a judge feels it was a knockdown then he can judge it as a knockdown. The referee is only a guide for judges!!!!

    After the fight it's likely some people will be scoring their dreams and claiming Froch was robbed. I love ESB.

    No he isn't! It's why they say "referee RULES it a knockdown" or the "referee RULES it a slip". The word rules is your first indication. The rules themselves are the second.
