    When you're right you're right and you're right.

    God, **** punch stats - they don't tell you anything about the flow of the fight, ring generalship, or quality of shots.

    The only way Froch wins this is if you give him the benefit of every doubt.

    close SD? I think you mean a close decision. A single person can't have the fight as a split decision lol.

    Anyhow, I had it Kessler in a close one.

    Kessler deserved it.
    He wanted it more.

    Considering the options Kessler wide or close SD then it was wide. It was a clear UD by three or four rounds.

    Man froch won that fight. Something has got to change about boxing scoring wise. That was bull****. But I must say they got the Adamek fight right.

    6-6 a draw....both these guys are not going to win this...

    they are a level under Dirrell, Ward and Abraham ( abraham although defeated in the last fight still is dangerous and a great fighter....not everyone has the tools to slip punches the way Dirrell can (i wouldnt call what he did a blueprint to beat AA, not everyone is capable of fighting the way he did).....I can see Abraham destroying Froch and Kessler.

    Watched it with 7. 5 shouting for Froch. They knew, CF family knew, he knew, his corner knew, British commentators knew, the judges knew.

    Some on here seem not to know. Strange.

    the only thing that is obvious is that some of you know nothing about scoring a boxing match 7-5 Kessler is a good score but a lot of rounds were close and could go either way.

    I thought kessler indeed won the fight. But Froch has a point. whoever was fighting in their home town would have got the decision. and 117 111 card was ridiculous
