    I havent seen the fight yet but was it a knockdown in the 5th?
    one or two sites feel it was a legit KD others seem to think it was a slip whats the consensus?

    Not even close to a knockdown, but had it been, as it seemed at first glance, it would ahve been one of the biggest knockdowns ever, Kessler did a friggin backward roll lol

    Froch's feet got tangled in Kessler's. Kessler stumbled. Froch threw. Froch missed. Kessler fell over.

    Don't worry, they'll be one awkward ****er on sooner or later who scored it a knockdown.

    oh yeah, something like the force of froch's swing generated so much air displacement the the air rushing into kessler's face actually caused him to fall
