    I don't see how kessler did enough to win the belt the fight was very close with froch having the better moments throughout the fight.

    WHy is everyone putting the onus on froch here ? what about kessler ? what exactly did kessler actually do apart from plod forward the entire fight and land a few good jabs whilst getting tagged.

    This result reeks of Sauerland corruption to me I refuse to give kessler any credit what so ever, as far as I'm concerned froch won the fight by 1 or 2 points.

    He landed plenty of clean punches, he forced the fight, established the pace, landed better jabs, worked the body effectively and badly hurt Froch.

    Grow up, and stop being such a ponce. I was supporting Froch, but Kessler kept his jab in Froch's face all night long, followed by right hands to both the face, but more successfully to the body.

    And ontop of that everytime Froch attacked, Kessler hit back like a man on the verge of having his livelihood taken away, and Froch never had an answer to that.

    So saying Kessler didnt do enough is just bitter bull****

    Froch wasn't badly hurt! He was stunned for a brief period when he walked into a straight right that damaged the bridge of his nose, but that was it.

    You are blind in some rounds I see people giving to kessler froch out landed him.:deal

    Take round 1 for example , kessler landed 3 punches froch landed 8 yet people including judges gave it to kessler which is ridiculous.
    Sauerland hand picked judges

    No actually he didnt land better shots, the better shots came from Froch, he hit the body, a few times, how is that working the body?? and he shook Froch up a few times, but Froch hurt Kessler a few times as well. Don't make out like Kessler won by a long way, cos he didn't. It was close, either a point either way or a draw is what I saw.

    In my view whoever has any of them as a clear winner is clearly biased towards one fighter,this was an extremely close fight either way that could perfectly be a draw.

    Exactly ! if it's too close to call and possibly a draw you cannot give the challenger the belt he has to clearly win it.

    They both landed their share of clean power punches to the head but Kessler did much better work to the body and landed better jabs. And, the most anyone was hurt in the fight was when Kessler caught Froch with that counter right that cut his nose. Froch was more hurt then than Kessler ever was.

    Froch got the air sucked out of him by body punches, he couldn't respond I think because he was hurt a couple of times. So was Mikkel but he took it better IMO.

    Froch just didn't do enough in the middle rounds so regardless of home bias bull**** and beating the champion clearly rubbish a win is a win.

    I can't see how Kessler won rounds 3 and 4. He landed nothing aside from a few jabs. At best they were even rounds.

    I had it a draw.

    That bears no relation to how boxing matches are actually scored.
