I've just spent the last 3 1/2 - 4 hours collating these stats. I watched the fight and counted each fighter 1 at a time pausing when necessary(which was a lot). I did not count punches that I wasn't sure landed. My view is that Froch won the fight and these stats back that up (i was unbiased in collating them). The round by round stats also back this up (can print if wanted). All those posters who are saying that it was a close but clear win for Kessler are chatting BS. It was anything but clear. Just because something is the received wisdom does not necessarily make it so.

Here are the round by round connects, number shown is the total with jabs in brackets:

See above muppet. You've probably got better things to do than count punches all evening, but I don't so, until you are as sad as me, **** off.. don't mean to be rude but this took ages, didn't realise how long it would take and was getting very bored by the end.
