Don't agree at all. Calz dictated that fight and controlled the action in at least 8 of the 12 rounds. Slaps or not, he controlled the fight. I will agree that, other than the Hopkins fight, Kessler was Joe's toughest challenger. However, I really don't think this fight was in any way a robbery and I really can't see it being scored any differently regardless of where it was held.
Frock would have needed to win 20 rounds out of 12 to win last night! The rematch should be held in the states to avoid bias
Lol Calzaghe won that fight, and he'd have won in Denmark too, Kessler knew he'd lost, and was totally gracious in defeat, more than can be said for some people.
Clearly you're a Calz hater and that's fine, but you really shouldn't let your ignorance of European fighters cloud your judgement of boxing. Calz came over to the US to fight Hopkins and won a close decision even after a knockdown. Are you willing to tell me that the judging in that fight was off too even though it favored Hopkins?
The judges and the forum don't share your outlook. This content is protected 7-5 Kessler. 8-6 also within reason. A case could be made for 6-6.
Cry-baby. Almost anyone in the world scored the fight for Kessler. In here the poll who won is 92% for Kessler and 8% for Froch. The majority of Brits saw it for Kessler. So in a neutral area - most agree Kessler won. I will tell you that most Scandinavian newspapers have it 118-110 or 117-111 for Kessler. I think that is too nice to Kessler. A neutral result is 116-112. There was ZERO hometown in this win. ____________ If anyone thinks Froch would have gotten it in Nottingham - that sends a VERY bad image about Nottingham.
Well all i'll say is this, at first i had a draw but when i watch it again, i had it 7-5 for Froch but you know what? What goes around, comes around cause Froch knows how Dirrell feels about getting robbed cause i thougght and most thought Dirrell beat Froch in england but the judges gave it to Froch.
