That is exactly how I felt. Great post, you must be thinking what I was thinking. I was getting frustrated watching Froch in that fight. I do in alot of them as I feel if he followed up and applied himself more he would get better results. Still a fan though
Watch the 11th and 12 rounds. Nobodies turning their punches over. I think if they fought again, Froch sticks to the gameplan and outboxes him comfortably.
I gave it to Kessler on the night and havnt changed my mind. Froch didnt do enough to win the fight imo.
I had froch 115-114 or 115-113 i think. it was really close. the only thing that annoyed me was the wideness of the 117- 111 card. Either fighter could be seen to have won. Great fight nonetheless and i hope to see a repeat. Perhaps in a more neutral venue.
Kessler won that fight with about 2 rounds!! He took a lot out of Froch from his bodypunching early on.What´s even more impressive is he did it with an injuried eye/eyes.But a great fight.
If Froch were American all these people saying clear for kessler would be saying Froch won. Froch won by a point imo he busted up kessler pretty bad if truth be told.
To be fair both fighters was busted up.Froch´s nose ws cut and probably broken,and he was cut over the eye witch the have to sticth together.nd kessler hs aa deep cut.i have NEVER seen Froch so busted up either before and after the Kessler fight.
I had Froch by a round, but expected them to announce a draw. A draw would have been fair, as would either of them winning. It was just that close of a fight.
I thought Froch was the victim of hometown cooking. He took it to Kessler for most of the fight and landed the most telling shots. I don't feel too bad for Froch though, seeing that he was the benificiary of hometown cooking in his previous fight with Dirrell.
Oh lord, it was a good scrap but i wouldnt subject myself to a duke mckenzie verbal onslaught to see it a second time. Id rather watch it with the volume turned all the way down and the song electric dreams by phil oakley playing on a continuous loop in the background throughout. Although im not sure what sort of strange situation would lead to me being forced to choose one or the other.
