<< Froch vs Kessler RbR >>

No he wouldn't have, Kessler won clearly.

 

He might have done it and it would have been a robbery. Saying he might have got a robbery at home is not actually a good thing. He lost the fight tonight, the venue was nothing to do with it. One can quarrell scorecards but there was only one winner.

It wasn't a Dirrell/Froch where the hometown guy gets the benefit, Kessler close but clearly won tonight.

 

I turned off before the interviews, but if that's what he really believes he's deluded. It wasn't enough home or away.

I thought Carl had a god 5th, took the round and should have kicked on from there. To me it seemed like he had it so easy in the 5th he thought he was going to coast it for the rest of the fight. Obviously Kessler had other ideas and Froch never really woke up again.

 

Every fighter has the beating of the other fighter if they fight their fight. The mark of being better is being the one to dictate. Froch just wasn't as good at dictating as Kessler. Let's not make out that Carl threw it away - Kessler just took control and wouldn't give it up.

 

I had Kessler 7-5.

Goes down as one of them "close but clear" fights, similar to Cotto - Mosley for example. Good fight and that 12th was insane. I like both so was going to be happy either way, probably wanted Kessler to win that bit more really, glad he's a champ again.

 

I disagree. Froch proved throughout the fight he could dominate when he stepped in behind his jab then threw the right. Just like McCracken was telling him to.

 

Problem is Carl was too pigheaded to listen to McCracken most of the time.

 

mcguirpa... I don't see how you can disagree with me on this. Whenever Carl had success, Kessler reasserted himself. He didn't allow Carl to fight his fight. Froch could have dominated, but Kessler didn't let him.

 

Carl is aloof and arrogant end of

 

Wonder what Darren Barker made of it. I remember he always seemed to favour Froch when asked about sparring with the two.

 

I agree, 10-2 is absolute insanity, thats even a wider score than that fat idiot Tilleman gave it.

For what its worth I scored rounds 1, 3, 5, 10, 11 to Froch with the 12th round going either way and a couple of rounds in between 5 and 10 that were very close indeed. Anyone who says that this was a clear win for Kessler is an idiot, I wouldn't argue with judge Cavalleri when he scored it 115-113 but thats as generous as you could possibly be to Kessler.

 

tbh after that one big right in round 5 (i think) froch didnt throw that right nearly enough, maybe hurt.
rounds 6-9 he was so ****ing sloppy, kessler controlled the ring way more

 

1 score was too wide but kessler won. No debate. Froch lost that himself. Kessler was the guy always moving forward. Froch is v v limited.

 

Totally agree :deal

 

have you met him then?

Greg is a pube end of
