Great battle - Credit to both

The tournament is Ward's to lose.

Kessler cannot quite counter like he once could, but is obviously very good.

Froch's tactics were better than Kessler, talent made the difference though.

 

Seconded. The fight was epic and both fighters deserve credit. Correct result and no complaints from me. Love to see a rematch later in the tourney if both fighters get to the latter stages.

 

I did a roar and beat chest in one round. My type of fighter's warriors who talk the talk. I'm proud of both and **** the haters. Froch may not have the ability he thinks but i know who i'd have in trenches with me. Tough SOB and a man of his word.

Well Done Kess...hard to hate the guy..soft spot for him and happy he's back.

 

It was a truly great fight. The only two downfalls were the arena and the judge that scored it 111-117.

 

Brilliant fight, was enthralled every second of every round....Kessler showed tons of heart...I can only start to imagine what the last round of the tourney will be like :good

Great great watch, I think I might have to catch it on Showtime in a couple hours as well :yep

 

Respect to both.

Kessler won against a tough opponent.

Froch lost with dignity.

 

It's not unreasonable, if a little outlandish. I thought the interviewer on primetime was fantastic too! Really put Carl in his place.

 

It was a very good fight. Thoroughly enjoyed it and yes Kessler won but it was nothing for Carl to be ashamed of and the beauty of the super six is he can come again, get a rematch and win the title back if he's capable.

 

Both came out with credit.

This is Kessler's best win quite easily, Froch has proved himself a good foe. Kessler showed a lot of heart and strength, they were his best attributes tonight, it wasn't the most silky of displays he just dug it out.

Froch tried hard but never quite put enough pressure on for some reason. He just couldn't dictate to Kessler nearly enough, he had moments but could never sustain even through 1 round. He was too often backed up and playing the counterpuncher, thats not his game. He was better coming forward but maybe Kessler was just too strong and he couldn't do it with any consistency. I expected a bit more from Froch early and in the middle but he let Kessler have a comfortable time of it up until the latter stages. Maybe he felt he could dig it out again but it was a bad gameplan if he was relying on that.

 

^ Big Peter? Legend! "Well, you already got one decision in your home so it's even"

I'd say it's Ward or Dirrell's to lose. Winner of their fight wins the tournie for me

 

Dirrell won't beat Ward. I can see Ward in with Kessler again, or with Abraham.

I think Abraham's going to knock Froch out.
