    they gave no credit to kessler, it was a close fight and they made it seem like a domination from froch. they always pick their guy and run with it.......

    I think most tv commentary is turning into a joke. Sky are no better, Jim Watt was a good fighter but he really does talk some ****.

    For Froch, Khan and Haye fights, believe me you want to watch the boxnation commentary.

    Andre Ward is the worst commentator HBO has ever had. Dull, boring, and a huge agenda.

    I didn't even know there was a HBO broadcast for this fight.

    He did beat Kessler more convincingly than Kessler beat him, the only thing pathetic about this fight was Adelaïde Byrd's scorecard.

    I can't really see that.
    Carl starts great and Mikkel comes back.

    115-113 for Froch is what most in here score it!

    I too thought 7-5 Froch was fair but i could see Froch being given another extra-round. The funny thing is i watched the sky sports broadcast and they had what looked like a fair scoring until the end of the fight when they gave Froch the 11th, since they knew if Kessler went on to take the 12th it would have been a draw. :lol:

    But 118-110 is a disgrace.

    Sky sports was a joke. Were on Frochs nutsack more than Rachel. I remember in the later rounds, Kessler got some good shots in and the commentary turned it into a postive for froch saying that froch is disheartening and sapping confidence in Kessler because its not hurting froch.

    I didn't hear the HBO broadcast but Boxnation seemed to be okay even though they obviously favoured Froch. I had the same score anyway.

    HBO is abysmal now. Lampley and Kellerman are laughable.

    Showtime >>>>

    Lampley and Kellerman are horrible commentators.

    Ward was terrible too.

    They should bring back Larry Merchant.
