    I thought Froch won and was jobbed by Sauderland.

    He should explain instead why he got shellacked by Dirrell.

    You're right. Froch had Kessler going in that 12th. Could have put the hurt on him but he didn't. Kessler was fighting on will and guts, but he was still vulnerable. Froch shied away, and got out-willed in a fight he knows he could have win. Not only that, but could've genuinely had a spent Kessler going in that last round.

    It was a close fight but imo clearly kessler won however, i think in a rematch Froch does the job on him, he didnt look his best and kessler fought a blinder

    Froch: planes, trains and automobiles......
    Kessler: Double vision

    Kessler won a close fight leave it at that and set up a rematch

    The two times I watched and scored it, had it 116-112 then 115-113 for Kessler. Great fight, Froch should not be disappointed... everybody loses. Well, most everybody.

    Didn't a double vision version of Kessler beat Froch?

    I thought Froch looked like he was going to win easily in the first few rounds, but then he seemed to go down a gear and never really got back to his normal energy levels. I thought it was a fair win for Kessler but was sure Froch would win if he had kept up his early effort. He didn't fight quite like his usual self.

    That is the most BS excuse from one of the biggest whiners in boxing. For a big punching beast this guy is always talking out his arse. He has no skills and once all the wars catch up with him he will start taking beatings.

    Look at Kessler on the other hand. Received a number of very solid headbutts from son of God probably whinged less than Froch.

    Accept your loss like a man.

    I said to myself as soon as that fight ended, "Too bad the tourney is already scheduled and we won't get an immediate rematch." Hopefully, it happens soon.

    That was one hell of a fight. I'm surprised it doesn't get more praise. It is clearly the best fight of the Super Six.

    What a crock of ****, he got beat, what a pathetic excuse that is. Very good and close fight, he should've ended the answer to that question with "There’s nothing more boring than someone’s excuse of why they lost the fight." Kessler had double vision too, that's a much bigger mountain to climb.

    I thought Froch edged it, but that he lost to Dirrell.

    I thought it was somewhat close, but a clear W for Kessler.

    In fact, I thought Kessler kicked his...
