    Rewatching the fight and lamps just said kessler weighing
    in at over a lb less than the limit as a result of his nerves
    from this fight. also, max saying that froch won more convincingly
    than kessler won in the 1st fight. also, whenever froch backed
    mikkel up and hit mostly shoulders and gloves max would exclaim
    that kessler was hurt. The only objective fight caller tonight
    seem to be Ward.

    Well I think Kessler looked a little drained IMO

    UK Sky sports was more or less the same thpe of commentary tbh

    Never heard HBO but he did win more convincingly than Kessler.Sometimes scorecards don't tell the full story.
    See Barrera-Hamed if you don't believe me.

    I usually skip HBO in favor of BoxNation nowadays. The HBO commentary is frequently intolerable, not only is the quality of the commentary lacking, but their bias in favor of their "house fighters" is simply obnoxious and usually contrary to fact.

    I thought Lamps was off tonight. Favoring Kessler heavily, especially early in the fight.

    It seemed like Ward was jealous of Froch. Taking Jabs at Froch every moment.

    Exactly! Dude, christo, you got it wrong. Stop making excuses and definitely stop trying to act like your RBR "without sound" isn't bias as all hell. I was going for Kessler too. Froch was just the better athlete.
