There were some very close rounds.. I scored it twice.. Gave it 115-113 to Kessler (most common answer) and the other time 116-113 Kessler (Had an even round somewhere, i think it was the 6th, but i am really not sure)
Had Froch by a round but was suffering from "favoured fighter scoring syndrome" A big problem for me when one of my preferred guys is fighting.Had no complaints with anyone saying 7-5 Kessler. Convinced Froch was fighting at about 70% tops that night.He was poor and I'd fancy him for a reversal.
Great to read an honest reply,so thanks for that. But one thing lot of fans seems to forget,is tht Kessler fought with an extremly bad injury,that night...Did it too against Ward. now Kesslers eyes problems are healed up,and when he can start training/sparring again i think we will see Kessler give us some great fights again.(now he got a broken finger!!). I truely belive that kessler will take the WBO Belt from Stieglitz,and hopefully fight either Ward,Froch or Bute in the next year.He hs been in some tough fights,and had a LOT of injuries.I hope he can end his career with some great names to fight.
I think even a "mature" Kessler has far too much for Stieglitz.I do worry his injuries might speed up his ring ageing process though.:good
