    The first thing I was very surprised to see was that there was two Belgian judges. I realize that isn't the home country of Kessler but you are being a fool if you think that was by accident.

    I knew that Froch probably needed a KO, but he fought such a good fight. His punches were landing clean, they were far more telling the vast majority of the time.

    Its a shame that the sport we all love can't have clean judging, because if there was any fight that Froch has won, it was this one. Froch was very classy in defeat, but I feel I have to gripe for him.

    He out boxed Kessler from the outside, he landed the majority of the harder shots. It is true he did get hurt once, there were rounds that Kessler won. It wasn't a blowout by Froch but I thought it was a "Clear Close" win.

    From what I saw in that fight Kessler gets KO'd by the hot and cold Green. I think Green will be desperate after losing to Ward in a very ugly and boring stinkfest.

    Damn I started to believe Froch could get this win after what I saw of Kessler against Ward. To have him come out and do it but not get credit really sucks. But I am glad to see he was classy and focused in defeat and looking on to Abraham. Because I think that Abraham is going to be a far more dangerous fight for Froch.

    I don't see Froch winning that fight against Arthur, so he will have to advance I think based on someone else losing. So I guess Froch fans will have to wait and see.

    Kessler won clearly, Croch was exposed as a one dimensional bum

    Kessler won. There was no dodgy judges, he simply outboxed Froch.

    I thought Kessler won (115-113 and could see it the other way if someone had it close) but 117-111 is impossible to anyone judging that fight fairly.

    I thought Kessler won. Froch didn't take advantage after hurting kessler and went to sleep for a couple of rounds, but it was a close fight.

    I give judges 1 point of leeway, cause they have a very different angle.

    116-112 is fair watching it on TV. Which means 117-111 is fair from a judge.

    This has to be one of the dumbest statements I have ever read.

    Why?

    Judges have a very different view. It isn't unreasonable that they score the fight slightly differently from how someone watching a TV will do. A margin of 1 round is sensible.

    If you can't see that as just logical then I have to question your judgement on the whole fight. Sounds like you are a Froch lover who has his panties in a knot and is getting all worked up.

    The judge who scored it 117-111 for Kessler should be banned.

    You made a dumb prediction, and now have to come to terms with it.

    Bleating now just makes you look worse, not better.

    Time for you to man up, coward.

    Big Deal.....Froch got a gift against Dirrell.

    All these Froch fans were claiming that the Dirrell fans needed to stop bitching and just accept the fact that the scorecards showed Froch to have won.

    Well, froch fans now need to stop bitching themselves and accept the fact the scorecards say he lost.
