I've watched it twice now, and it was just such a close fight. Many rounds could've been called even IMO. I could see it either man's way by a point or two and wouldn't flinch.
115-113 to Kessler brilliant, close fight. Kessler just did enough, and this is coming from a big Froch fan.
115-113 Even if the fight was close It's still clear to me who deserved the win ... and that's Kessler
I'm not a big fan of Froch but he did what he had to do to win ... payback for the Andre Dirrell fight !!
Thought Froch won 115-113. And I hate Froch. You guys are all crazy. Everyone with me thought Froch won more than I did. I had Kessler up midway but Froch closed the show better. Rounds 11-12 were close though.
Froch won the fight. That was home cooking at its finest. And Kessler fans are fooling themselves if they think he is back in this tournament. Let me go back to what I said before the first round. I thought Kessler was in a possible upset special in his fight because Ward (who I dont like) is mentally tough, fighting at home, and Kessler being off from real comp so long. But I also said I thought even if Kessler lost he would go on to be in the final's against Arthur. Now fast forward to after Kessler lost. Based on what I saw of Kessler versus Ward....I felt he has "Give" in him and Froch can take advantage of that give. I started to think Froch has a chance in this fight because Kessler's right hand isn't looking as Sharp and he doesn't fight well in the trenches. Now we come to the present and Froch fights an excellent fight, much better than I thought he would. I didn't expect him to win.......but Froch won that fight no question in my mind. For me its like the Winky vs Taylor fight.....sure the fight was somewhat close but there is no question in my mind who won that fight: Winky! But it is good to hear that Froch seems to have taken it in stride which is not unusual since when u truly feel you won, a loss just doesn't sting like it would if you knew you lost.
I thought it should have been a draw. I don't feel Kessler did enough to take the title from the champ. I had Froch winning by a point or two, with the early rounds being the deciding factor.
