    Yea....my card is the same... Good performance by both men in a very tough competitive fight but Kessler finished stronger and pulled out the "W". I think the scoring was terrible but the right man won without a doubt. Props to Froch and Kessler...that was a great fight.

    Again we agree. :good

    I have new respect for Froch. Not the way he has acted since the fight, from the fight itself. :yep

    This. All that matters is what the guys sitting at ring apron see. What the folks watching on TV see is irrelevant. The right camera angle can skew things.

    I remember specifically a large right hand lead Kessler landed in an early round. The original Showtime angle makes it look glancing at best. Slow motion replay, it is a huge punch.

    I had Kessler winning 116-112 and although the rounds were close i felt Kessler was simply the better boxer in there.
