I watched this fight again and I don't have a bias towards a certain fighter and I am not a qualified judge by any means but this is how I scored the fight round by round 1. Kessler 10-9 2. Draw 10-10 3. Kessler 10-9 4. Froch 10-9 5. Froch 10-9 6. Kessler 10-9 7. Kessler 10-9 8. Kessler 10-9 9. Draw 10-10 10. Froch 10-9 11. Draw 10-10 12. Froch 10-9 Total Score 116-115 Kessler by decision. Couple this with Kesslers aggression throughout the fight apparently judges give rounds for this, if they give the draw rounds to Kessler that leaves score 116-112, the 117-111 was bull**** I believe but you have to admit a lot of time Froch was just pawing his jab out there and not landing but Kessler was missing a lot too. All in all a great fight and I think an early candidate for fight of the year.
Froch was just outworked and looked very lazy. Big disapointment. Landed a coupe of bombs then stood there posing like a twat!! Don't understand his tactics. Anybody knows that Kessler can't find close up and every time froch went forward throwing shots, Kesler looked lost and flapped big time!!
