    That fight went exactly as I expected. Both are very talented boxers, but Kessler's straighter punches made the difference, as he was able to land first at key moments in the fight. Kessler would be a bigger puncher if he loaded up and swung about, but he's a better boxer for sticking to straight punches and only throwing uncomitted left-hooks. While I wanted Froch to win, I felt that Kessler was probably going to win, but that it wasn't a certainty. The close fight vindicated this prediction.

    Props to both boxers and to all the organisers of the Super Six for giving us these kinds of fights. :happy

    The problem is that, to properly do a Steward, you have to wait until the 8th round before making your prediction.

    How did Atlas see this fight? I hope you didn't piggyback off his prediction.
    Wait, you were right, forget about my question.

    You've caught me out: I looked up Atlas's prediction and then said the opposite.
