    I totally agree. 115-113 or 116-112, but not way it was 117-111

    Kessler,Abraham,Froch.Thats my top 3 The Andre`s are unproven! flash moves,head butts and holding. So far neither has won a fight by a normal way.Bute comes 4th then the Andre(jermain clone)brothers

    I don't know man ... I thought there was a consensus in the world of boxing fans that Bute was top 3...

    This is interesting, but backing up and throwing a jab, with occasional forays of combination punching, isn't enough to win a fight when you're being outworked and out-boxed.

    Oh shut the **** up, you smug ****. Froch got out-jabbed and out-boxed for stretches in 8 of 12 rounds. If you scored more than five rounds for Froch, you're clearly a ****ing idiot.

    Out-worked is the wrong part. He was out-boxed at times, but these "Froch lack of activity" comments are quite funny. And Froch landed more damaging blows no doubt.

    If you watch it on a internet stream than Kessler won.

    If you watch it on Showtime HD Froch won.

    If you convince yourself it was a robbery, that doesn't make it so. Kessler won a close fight , but it was pretty obvious he won. You can argue the opposite, but you would need to do some convincing. And I watched it on TV, btw, not a stream.

    What's your scorecard? It's not a robbery, but it's easy to give at least 6 rounds to Froch.

    I agree, they looked WAY too confident for such a close fight.

    I was not impressed by Kessler and unfortunately although i dont think Froch lost he became somewhat complacent in the middle rounds (5) after he only just started to look dominate.

    Kessler just stayed busy till the end and was given the close rounds cos he was also coming forward. Froch admitted he should have stepped on the gas even though he felt he was winning.

    Either way it seems clear to me that ward or dirrell will win this tournament who will imrpove after each fight as they are a good bit younger than the rest but have looked very impressive thus far.
