Kessler won that fight.

116 - 112 for froch

 

Nope I scored it 115-113 I don't know how a judge had it as wide as 118-110 right enough. That was a joke!

 

I had the same.

 

Was out and in company so didn't score it but Froch just felt like the winner and looked the stronger a lot of the time, although the commentary seemed to be overly biased. Interesting to read people like Kevin Mitchell had it a draw though:

What is for sure is that the 118-110 score seemed ridiculously out of kilter

 

i also think groves could beat him,we are in the minority but groves wouldnt slug it out with him hed box and could hurt him,groves power is coming along very rapidly he could definatly get frochs respect and take a points decision

 

Watched it last night,watched it again this morning more closely,it wasnt even close,im sorry,but Kessler clearly didnt win more than 3 rounds,he tried to catch the Judges eyes with bursts at the end of the rounds,Froch won it clearly.

 

114-114 for me

 

We love to rubbish our fighters dont we, how anyone can give Kessler this fight, taking away what was actually observed on the sceen, Froch landed 100 punches more during the fight, that is way way too big to try and limit that to a few rounds work. He was a good four round winner.

For the record Bellew won by 4 rounds as well, Tony for some reason has become someone people have the hump with, god knows why, we don't have many people on the verge of a world title chance, would have thought we would be supporting him.

He might give it the big un sometimes but its hardly his fault Chilemba wanted to box that way in both fights, at least Bellew tries his heart out and makes the most of what he has, he has worked really hard in his career and deserves a shot.

 

How? i cant really see the rounds Kessler won,Froch landed more punches throughout the fight,Kessler come back with little bursts,so people were giving him the rounds,up until his little bursts he was losing,landing a 2-3 punch combo does NOT win you the round if you have been getting your head jabbed off previously.

 

I liked Froch's jab cracking jab think it was key early .I was shocked how good Froch started off compared to the first fight .I went to the RBR thread after the 3rd and people were saying Kessler looks shot ( next post Kessler is shot to **** ) .Didn't look as good as he did in the first fight to me .I'm going to re-watch soon didn't score it but to me Froch looked stronger and to be in control .

 

117-111 Froch I really didn't think it was close at all, I need to watch it again but I know I won't have it closer than one more round which I think could be the 4th round I gave to Froch.

Didn't think many of the rounds were that close either really.

 

People actually think Kessler won that????

 

I didn't think it was close at all but I've seen a lot of people score it a draw! :-(

 

it was close

by 1 round or 2 max for froch

it went exactly same as first with roles reversed

back then people were shocked at those who had it for kessler

 

Lederman's HBO card was comical. In fact, anything more than a couple of points either way is complete nonsense. Another case of commentators skewing the view of a fight.

Both men had five rounds clear each, so it really comes down to a couple of swing rounds. Even faded and near shot, Froch couldn't master Kessler.

Really good fight though. Enjoyed all of it.
