    You are a horrible fanatic, and I think Froch would pay if you would just go support someone else. You make people hate Carl - but perhaps that is really what you want? :huh

    From another angle you could see that Froch stepped on Kessler's foot as Kessler trying to go back.

    I like Michael Griffin. I think he's a good ref

    It wasn't a ****in slip! It was a tangle of feet that tripped Kessler off-balance!

    Agree. Just watch at Froch's right leg and Kesslers left leg right before he falls.

    Cheers dude, I'd only seen it the once from behind, it was hard to tell.

    Yea, it looks like a slip, the ref called it right.

    i say thats a knock down just because it hit arms it was still the drive and punches that put him on the floor. and the effect of the right hook that stumbled him at the start.

    Just looked at this again and the punch from Froch straight beforehand rattles Kessler imo, it lifts him off the ground, then Froch follows up, hits him on the gloves and Kessler goes over whilst peddling backwards.

    It's an honest question, but does a punch beforehand, technicaly, play any part in something being ruled a knockdown?
