    11) 9-10 Kessler
    12) 10-10 Drawn

    Froch 114 - 115 Kessler

    That's how I scored the fight. I think best Froch could of asked for was a draw if people gave him the last round. I feel I was kind giving it a draw as he only won the last minute of that round with Kessler winning the first 2 minutes.. I agree no robbery but 118-110 or some of the scores I've seen on here maybe people should go judge cricket or something

    Round 12 drawn? Froch wasn't too far from stopping him in that round!

    Froch won pretty handily IMO, he just seemed to want it more and landed more shots.

    116-112 Froch is about right IMO.

    Again watch the 12 first 2 mins and a bit Kessler bossed!! Last 40 secs Froch came on strong.. Stoppage??? No chance(ref looked in because of a low shot by Froch) I score a round for 3 minutes not 40 secs.. Hence why the drawn round!! In no circumstance was that fight 116-112 Froch.. So for that reason I can't take what you saying seriously best score possible was 115-113 either way!!

    I really don't see how anyone can score the fight to Kessler tbh.

    He didn't boss the first two minutes if that round at all. They were pretty close and then Froch battered him for the last 30seconds. Clear Froch round.

    Again a matter of opinion! Even with that which I just watched the round again there and Kessler was on top for first 2 and about 15 secs!! But even giving it the other way it would be a draw and I wouldn't argue that.. As I have said up to 115-113 either way you can't argue was a close fight but it definitely wasn't 116-112

    It seems to me whenever there was a lull in action you think Kessler was 'bossing' it.

    Can seem to you whatever you want. Kessler was hitting with the cleaner shots

    Similarly.

    I'm no lover of Froch but he edged it, no doubt about it.

    The 118-110 scorecard was embarrassing.

    No way was the last round drawn. I had Froch up by two rounds, and I was rooting for Kessler.

    Close fight but Froch won.

    I had Kessler winning wide when I scored it. I knew Froch was going to win though as I was scoring it. Kessler would have won in his home country, same exact fight. I only had the 8th round circled as a definitive Froch round, I only had the 6th and 7th circled as definitive Kessler rounds and the 11th circled twice as even more definitive Kessler. That means I had 8 rounds, 6 of which I gave to Kessler and 2 of which I gave to Froch, that were fairly close rounds. In the home country, these rounds are going to go to the home fighter the majority of the time.

    Certainly this is not a robbery. Its the kind of fight where you could have Froch winning wide or Kessler winning wide, 8 rounds you can make a case for either fighter.

    In my opinion, you can make a strong case for Kessler winning, or Froch, as many have. This is light years from a "clear victory"

    I would much rather see Kessler fight Ward. The first time around was BS with all the fouling. Froch couldn't do a damn thing with Ward. To me, it looked like Kessler, at least back then, may, and I see MAYBE, could have done something with Ward. We don't know because of the ridiculous fouling and ridiculous reffing.

    I'm fine with Kessler / Froch 3 though as well. It was an entertaining fight. There was something poetically just about these two drawing crowds and making money while Ward farts around with his "GOAT" crown. Its even funnier if they do it again. Meanwhile Pavlik retires and deprives Ward of THAT payday too lol....

    I remember Andre's smaller older brother Micky Ward now he was an exciting fighter.
