    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

    115-113 froch

    great fight but as per usual the judges were swayed by the noise of the home crowd.

    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.

    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.
