    Hardly owned - I gave Froch the first 2 rounds and the last 3. He could have even got a draw to be honest.

    Froch just could not get a round in the middle of the fight and that hurt him.

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Leaving aside that your posts are consistently arrogant and condescending and you clearly view yourself as some kind of omnipotent boxing oracle, you generally offer an insightful, original viewpoint and speak the truth more oftent han not. But every now and again you come up with something so outrageously deranged it really makes me question everything else you say. Your last episode of this nature that I recall was something about how Hatton was really giving it to Pacquiao before he got KO'd. In regard to Kessler/Froch, as far as boxing goes this was unquestionably an uncontroversial decision. Even most one-eyed Froch fans appear to have admitted to themselves that Froch lost a hard fought battle. There's something about English fighters that clouds your judgement it seems.

    Good close fight. I had it for Kessler by a round.

    I never fancied Kessler to be honest, and thought Froch was limited as a fighter but i'll give them both this; they both have a huge pair of balls. I only seen up to round 9 before i lost coverage and had Kessler 2 rounds ahead but it was a far better fight than i had anticipated. Would like to see a rematch somewhere down the line in a neutral venue

    Kessler didn't own Froch by any means. All I kept reading on the forums pre-fight was how Froch's style was tailor made for Kessler and that a Kessler domination and KO was very almost certain - what nonsense! Kessler only hurt Froch once. I had it a draw upon first viewing of the fight but having watched it again I'd say it was a Froch win.

    Anyone who scored that fight for Froch is a biased fool! It was close but Kessler won it by a couple of rounds.

    If who didn't know who the fighters were, you would never have thought that Froch was the champion and Kessler the challenger. He said his win against Dirrell was because Dirrell was running away from him the whole fight, yet that seemed to basically be his plan for this fight. Kesslers no power puncher but each time he connected with a decent shot, you could see Froch freeze with pain for a moment.

    Froch should shut up about Calzaghe too. He couldn't beat a declined Kessler, what chance does he have against Joe?

    Froch was not running away like Dirrell - he was moving backwards sometimes but they were going toe-to-toe many times. Can't argue with the Kessler win but also agree that it could have been a draw or Froch win too.

    I hope they fight again.

    lol, froch may have been boxing off the back foot some of the time, but that was nothing like the cowardly performance of dirrel in their fight. he wasn't running or throwing himself on the floor, it was a hard fought battle and you can't go full steam ahead for 3 minutes of every round, it was a gutsy performance from both fighters.
