You're a great poster and someone I look up to on this website, but I really cannot understand how you could score that fight 117-111 for Froch. I think that's a pretty crazy scorecard mate.
Kessler wanted it more and Carl took a few rounds out and sat back a bit too much.. I had Kessler winning a very close and entertaining battle.. Carl is a warrior but Kessler was a winner by a point... Not the stupid wide scoring those ass hole judges gave.. But i honestly didn't see Carl doing any despairate work when it got tight.. If you had Carl winning by a round or two.. you didn't watch the same fight as me.. God Bless... BTW ... I am a Carl Froch fan....
I thought Froch won. He boxed well and picked his spots well for counters. Kessler was getting hammered all nite long with shots. Kessler ain't going no where in this tournament.
When the hometown decision doesn't go your way it doesn't taste quite as sweet does it, Froch fans? Like Froch said, if he'd been fighting in Nottingham I'm sure he would have gotten the (undeserved) win. Maybe he can just have all of his fighting in Nottingham from now on. That way at least he and Calzaghe will still have something in common (since being undefeated isn't one of them anymore).
