    Did it seem to anyone else in the latest 360 ep that Kessler and the folks sitting with him were rooting for AA in the Froch fight?

    They commented on Froch being nervous (which in itself don't seem antagonistic, but the way they commented on it kinda made it seem that way), and when Abe clocked him towards the end of the fight and it looked like he might be shaken up, the lady sitting near Kessler (his mom, I think) jumped up with a fist up (IIRC).

    Does Kessler not like Froch? Was there any bad blood pre or post their fight, I don't recall anything.

    Also, did anyone understand what Kessler said when the guy sitting next to him said Froch looked nervous? I think he said that Froch is nervous only in the first part of the fight, but I couldn't quite make it out.

    He said that Carl is only nervous for the 1st round as for Mikkel rooting for Abraham, they are both promoted by Sauerland IIRC, so obviously rooting for his stablemate.

    They have the same promoter so he and Abraham may be friends. IDK. I doubt Kessler really has any bad feelings toward Froch.
