    I had Froch by two rounds 7-5. A draw could be argued but Froch just deserved the edge on aggression. Kessler fought a bit hot and cold.

    Froch looked to be really rocked in the 11th, but as Kessler said he didn't have the energy stored in the tank to finish.

    7-5 to Froch is a good score and the same as pretty much everyone of eastside with good knowledge of boxing and scoring.

    It's maybe worthwhile pointing out here that the three PROFESSIONAL judges didn't agree on the same score so the ones in here who know everything it seems are getting their knickers in a twist for nothing.

    Having said that that 118-110 was just baffling.

    I can understand how someone can give it 7-5 so not a problem;- still believe it was 6-6 but i can respect a 7-5..

    But most have got it embarrassingly wider then that...

    Easily influenced by biased commentey...

    So you think that Kessler won 6 of the last 9 rounds?

    Froch 115-113 or 116-112 can't see how kessler won that. Thought the sky commentary wasn't too unbiased after 6 rounds I thought they'd only give kessler one or two at a push

    If you dont post your rd by rd scorecard than your opinion is invalid..
     
  15. Listen in my experience British fans rather than be over kind can be hyper critical of the home fighter

    Tony bellew doesn't get any favours
    And froch didn't from the British fans against Kessler 1,dirrell and ward

    So believe everybody when the consensus is froch won a competitive fight that was level after 6
    Froch showed incredible fitness and willpower to edge it by 2 points in my book
    This isn't blind faith this is reality

    It would be interesting to gauge Kessler and his corners reaction,I bet they thought he lost
