    The fight was as close as it could be and don't forget Carl was the champion back then and HE went to Mikkel's backyard for the fight. :hi:

    We all know both Kessler and Froch are warriors who will fight anyone anywhere.... Ward on the other hand "dont have to do anything" because he is champ... Give me a break!

    That's an understatement. That's also why so many people want to see this fight.

    If that's true , Bute deserves nothing more than an empty Centre Belle , for his next fight.

    I know many people have tried to sell this idea, but in reality Kessler landed 50% more punches than Froch and also 50% more power punches during the fight according to compubox numbers. All three judges had it a fairly clear UD for Kessler. On Eastsideboxing around 95% of more than 500 votes voted that Kessler won the fight. In reality it was not as close as some people would like to spin it as.

    It was very exciting and Froch had his rounds, but on a round scoring system it was not that close.

    It is understandable that many want the fight, but that still don't often happen.

    Just think of Kessler-Ward. Kessler was the champion and went to Ward's backyard and the fight ended on cuts after Kessler being concussed by hard headbuts repeatedly. Thus where the Froch fight was exciting, the Ward fight was more controversial. Did ward look like he would have won still? Yes, I think so, but Judah also looked like he was going to beat Mayweather after 4 rounds...

    Another example - Lennox Lewis vs Vitaly. A lot of excitement around a rematch and even in a fight that did not have a real ending, but was stopped on an injury. And we still never got the rematch.

    Oh... wait...

    For screwing up his fans , that's why . He said he wants the rematch this spring , now we find out that Froch is fighting Kessler next. I'm sick and tired of his motives and excuses. Like the president in my country said , I can swallow a frog , but not a pig.
