    Didnt see the fight, but I'm hearing some say robbery. I figured it was time to do a poll (if one hasnt been done already).

    You see the options, was it robbery, close, fair?

    I scored it 115-113 Kessler, the right guy got the verdict but the judging (117-111) from Tilleman was a total joke and almost as if he filled it in before the fight and wasn't allowing Froch to win no matter what happend.

    Come on, don't be stupid. Brit fans are emotional (I'm one of them), Kessler clearly won

    Nah, close fight, Kessler just squeaked it. I'd suggest that at this stage they're evenly matched boxers and if they had five fights in Denmark and five fights in England they'd probably win five a piece.

    MK won comfortably on the cards. On a round by round basis it was comfortable but as a fight it was REAL tough. As you would expect with Froch, its never an easy nights work.

    Kessler deserved it, but honestly it could have gone either way.

    Kessler fought like a warrior for that 2 round margin(115-113 in my eyes) .Just recognize and acknowledge the man's hard work and shut it.

    Out of respect for Mikkel Kessler, who fought his heart out, I'm hesitant to say it was a robbery, but the scoring was way off IMO. I had it a draw.

    It's only a robbery if you can't score a fight.

    Close match, but still clear victory for Mikkel.

    One of the scores were however embarrassingly off charts.

    There was no robbery. Ignore my deluded countrymen. Kessler by clear and comfortable decision.

    Notice that group is 90% English. Extreme bias going on there.

    Close fight but Kessler was the winner.

    I had Froch winning by 3 rounds (one being a 10-8) so Froch by 4 points.
