    I was on hiatus when this fight occured. Remember watching with my brother and believing Froch won, and so did my brother. I believe I had it 7-5 in favor of Froch. definitely thought Kessler got a gift. Once again however, Froch's lack of intelligence gets the best of him. Kessler has no head movement, is there for the jab, and Froch stopped throwing the jab with any sort of real snap and accuracy after round 5. And in some rounds he'd just run around and clown and let Kessler pick up points. Im guessing after fighting Pascal, Taylor and Dirrell, he felt good fighting a fighter almost as slow as he is and tried to pull off his best Roy Jones impression. Considering the scoring he failed.

    i had it 7-5 to froch. gutsy performance from kessler though, i think the judges allowed the noise of the danish fans to influence them.

    Horrible scorecard. Kessler won 8 rounds?

    Saw the fight once on Youtube and scored it for Kessler. Don't remember by what score exactly, but i had it close. Maybe it's because i don't like Froch. I don't remember too many details about how the fight went, so i really can't say lol

    Yeahhe did. But you score fights on a round by round basis. Froch's defense is so bad he's bad to get hurt per fight.

    Same, need to give it a rewatch but I did feel at the time that I would have a very difficult time giving the fight to Froch.
