Froch: still delusional about getting his arse spanked by Kessler

But like I say, he and many other boxers are bound to do this to try to retain their confidence.

Hell, fighters get knocked spark out and still complain they were hard done by.

I'd rather he 'saw the light' on this one but I can easily understand if he doesn't.

 

Did you see the Fight Camp 360 for the Abraham vs Dirrell fight?

His camp and Dirrell himself bring up the Froch fight and Dirrell was slagging of Froch before the Kessler fight again.

How do you see a Kessler vs Froch rematch going?

 

That'll be dependant on what happens with the fights they have between now and then.

Both are looking a little shopworn to me and will be in tough fights prior to meeting again.

As an aside, something that does my head in, is whenever there's a close fight everybody always assumes the guy who lost will have learnt more and will automatically win the rematch.

The guy who won the first learns loads too.

(I'm not talking about Froch-Kess there by the way, just in general.)

 

of course you no 90% of the time rematches are won by the guy who won first time round.

I just think we saw the best of Kessler and not the best of Froch.

 

i think we can agree to disagree here.

you gotta pm me about the US fights on UK tv stuff btw.

 

He most certainly did:

Most viewers that watched Saturday night's Super-Six showdown between Mikkel Kessler and Carl Froch were in agreement that they'd seen a very close fight... and a tough one to score. As did the writers at ringside polled by Showtime, with Michael Enggaard scoring the bout for Kessler by 3 points, and Niall Hickman and Arne Leyenberg having Froch in front by 1 and 2 points respectively. Al Bernstein had Froch by a point, while Antonio Tarver had Kessler winning (although didn't say by what margin).
The Boxing Bulletin's Lee Payton and Bad Left Hook's Scott Christ also had cards reflecting the close nature of the contest, with Lee having Froch up by 1 point (The Boxing Bulletin's recap) and Kessler edging it by 2 on Scott's card (Bad Left Hook's Round by Round coverage) .
The official judges had the fight a little more clear cut, with Kessler winning a fairly comfortable unanimous decision by scores of 117-111, 116-112 and 115-113.
I didn't score the fight live, but as I do for most close fights, I sat down after it was all over and had a second look. Let's get to my card..."

I wondered when he would get mentioned.

Simply put, Froch lost the fight because he was lazy in the first half, simple as that.

 

Froch was **** against Kessler, I don't see how anybody saw that his way. He was on the backfoot the entire time and he did no way near enough. It wasn't a fight of high quality with crisp accurate punching, and in that case you simply have to do a lot more than Froch did. He threw a punch and then stood there hoping Kessler was going to fall over or something.

 

Do you not think it runs deeper than being lazy?

If he was lazy in the first half he shouldn't have been blowing out of his arse late on.

 

Kessler invested a lot in body punching early on in the match. This took a toll on Froch's stamina.
