    Clearly for Kessler!

    He said this in a recent interview:

    "I believe the referee should have counted over Kessler in round 5 for a KD. However, on my scorecard Kessler would still have won the fight even if Froch had gotten that round 10-8".

    _______________

    Bunce wanted Froch to win so badly, but even he who is very emotional cannot give the fight to Froch. Makes you wonder what kind of people the few cry-babies that try to make the fight seem like a controversy are. :huh

    Stop crying over nothing. You are embarrasing yourselves and Froch.

    Bunce is a ****in ****! The replay showed CLEAR AS BROAD DAY that it was a slip in the 5th round.

    But he is correct scoring the fight for Kessler.

    Disagree with Bunce...not with him scoring it for Kessler, but that was a clear slip. He needs to watch a replay. That wasn't even close to being a KD.

    People sadly use the terms "robbery" and "controversy" way out of proportion these days :(

    Lewis - Holyfield = Robbery
    Kessler - Froch = Close but clear victory for Kessler
    I think Kessler coming forward and his activity with the combinations gave him the most rounds


    Oh yeah btw... WHAT A FIGHT THAT WAS!

    Buncy had it 6-6 on the radio but said he could not argue with it 1 or 2 rounds in Kesslers favor

    Thats what i thought, both him and Woodhall had it a draw. with supposedly some of the most biased commentary imaginable lol.

    The commentary and punditry on Primetime was a joke to be honest. They were making out that it was a close fight that could have gone either way, and that it being in Kessler's hometown was the main reason he got a UD. Utter bollocks. Kessler won that fight, it was competetive but he clearly won it.

    we all knew the situation froch was in, we knew he had to win the rounds very convingly, and he wasn't good enough on the night to do that. his trainer asked him to pick up his workrate, and in some rounds he did, but when you're fighting in someones backyard winning a few rounds is just not good enough.

    It being in someone's backyard had nothing to do with it, he lost the fight regardless of where it was held. There is no way that he won more than 5 rounds tops, i had it 116-112 for Kessler.

    I agree.

    If the fight was on THE MOON Kessler wins three times 116-112 or 115-113.
