    Giving it to froch means he gets the benefit of every doubt. I had it 8-4 at the time and felt it was 7-5 at best with froch losing each time. Even giving him a draw would be a stretch.

    Well, what's the point of the thread then?

    And yes, the polls indicate that you need some lecturing when it comes to scoring fights! :yep

    At the time I had Froch, but after seeing it again gave it Kessler. Still by close decision, but your right I was there and the noise in that arena when Kessler was missing shot was incredible as though each punch was a knock out. I reckon it definatly influenced the decision.

    The point of this thread was to get an accurate reading of the feeling of the forum on who won this fight considering I wasnt here when the fight happened. Something i quite clearly stated in the OP.

    Oh and dont worry, i'll post my scorecard sometime tomorrow. stick around, lets see if your big mouth of yours is still flapping then.

    Froch by a round, but i'm not going to say it was a robbery as it was a very close fight. the judges were probably swayed by the fans a bit, but that happens everywhere unless you're fighting infront of no crowd.

    who are you, to tell people they got a shitty scorecard..?

    you are a ******, and your agenda is obvious.

    the ****** believes that direll beat froch. and that froch beat kess. So ****-for-brains, AKA floorred, can claim, that direll is in another stratosphere boxing wise.

    give the ****** a couple of hours and he“ll be claiming direll is p4p eligible based on his fantasy scorecards.

    you seemed so much wiser, when discussing the term floored:yep

    there have been numerous polls, they all indicated Kessler won... just like did yours.

    No need for your card... who cares about it anyway? :hi:

    First and only time I watched it I had it 7-5 Froch. Maybe a draw.

    Surprised so many had it for Kessler, I watched it twice. Both times giving a pretty clear but close decesion to Froch. I was rooting for Kessler too. Both guys traded jabs all night, but it was Froch who was landing the clean power shots and combos .

    i only saw it the once, delayed coverage. a lot of rounds were close, i felt froch did enough but it werent a robbery.

    if the fight had been in england, and froch got given the decision, i still dont think people would cry robbery.

    i just hope they get paired up again cos it was a good fight.

    115-113 Kessler.

    Froch fought a great fight and boxed better than many expected.

    Had Kessler not unleashed his warrior spirit the scores could've been rightfully reversed.

    Both fighters showed us a great deal more than what we thought they had.

    Despite Froch coming up short, he made an honest fan out of me that night.
