Kessler gets a gift......Froch won that fight!

So you thought Froch was complacent for 7 out of the 12 rounds but you still scored the fight for him.

You will fit right in here.

 

You interpreted my post inaccurately man.

I didnt say Froch became complacent "for the rest of the fight" after round 5 what i wrote was he "became complacent for the middle rounds".

Also i didn't say in my post that i thought the fight was won by either man, because i scored it a draw.

 

That was a **** score and anyone who supports it is a moron.

The only valid scores were a round either way, or a draw, anyone else is clinging to nutsack.

 

My score's on the brit forum RBR - you can find it there.

 

LOL but completely agree

 

Well Froch didn't have a problem with it but claims it was a hometown decision. I remember Dirrell saying the same thing after their fight. Froch looked like he spaced out in some rounds when he could have been throwing more punches at least. I see Froch getting HURT by Arthur Abraham

 

the 117-111 and 116-112 were like WTF? but hey it's not the first time.

 

Kessler at no time out-jabbed this is complete nonsense. Whenever Kessler got busy with his jab Froch did and his was more effective. Froch landed the harder cleaner punches throughout the fight.

The only thing Kessler did consistently better was go to the body with his right hand and walk forward.

But it was Froch the guy you idiots said had no skill who was doing the out-boxing. That is what is so freaking ironic. He fought off the back foot, used his jab, countered, and flurried, and gave lateral movement.

Kessler was the one just plodding forward and going straight back when he got into trouble.

I can see there are a bunch of haters......because if the roles had been reversed which most you thought they would be, people would have been screaming bloody murder.

ESB is so full of complete "******s" when it comes to scoring a fight.

 

It was a close fight, and would not have had a problem with either fighter winning. Props to Froch for not crying like a ***** like Dirrell and his fans. Both fights weren't robberies, they were close that could have gone either way.

 

115-113 Froch on my scorecard. Had no rooting interest in the fight. I'll give it another viewing tomorrow.

 

You can't honestly judge a fight from watching tv, there is a lot of stuff for you to miss because of camera angles. The only one who was actually there was farhood right everone else was in the studio. I respect Froch after this, he gave Mikkel Kessler his due and didnt really make a big whine about it because he knows he was gifted the win in his last fight.

 

You can't let your left hang like that and just rely on reflexes against a fast-punching guy with a good jab like Kessler and then hope to win a decision in your opponent's hometown.

Froch threw away the win by letting his hands hang like that and betting on a KO win.

 

I hated Froch prior to this fight.....and I seriously mean hated the guy. I was wishing someone would knock his ass out, but he showed me a lot tonight. I now have a huge amount of respect for Froch. Especially after his post fight comments. He didn't seem bitter or surprised at all. He accepted it as a close fight either way. I thought Kessler won the fight by 1 round and I truly thought Froch was robbed after the score cards were read. To my surprise, Froch acted like a true professional and accepted his defeat and didn't ***** at all about the ridiculously lob sided decision. That tells me that Froch believed Kessler won the fight, but it was pretty close and it certainly wasn't a robbery.

 

Kessler won narrowlly.

And Froch proved he was much better than many had rated him.

 

Well he didn't fully ***** but Froch did comment on the whole "hometown fighters" issue. Sounded close to what Dirrell was saying about Froch except froch didn't complain as much. He needs to focus on Abraham now because keeping his hands low will be costly
