    That's exactly how I scored the fight as well

    I though Froch was going to stop him on a few occasions, Kessler was a shadow of his former self and looked shot in the first half of the fight, then he came alive and made a real fight of it, showing his class and glimpses of how good a fighter he was, I didn't score it, I'll do that today but Froch clearly won.

    I had Froch by 2, I do think Kessler deserves a rematch much more than Froch deserves one against Ward

    For me Ward has nothing to prove against Froch

  6. for once I give rob credit as the fight was scored how it should be and how most saw it

    I thought Froch nicked It by a Round or 2 don't where the **** that 8 point swing came from that was dreadful. TBH I thought Kessler did the better job he landed the better quality shots and I thought his work to the body was very underrated.

    I thought Froch would the fight on work rate and volume of punches he certainly didn't win It on quality but I think It would be hard to not give him the fight especially with partisan crowd in tow.

    Well I didn't see it like that I had froch by 2 in a close fight. What I don't like is when judges get it so wrong it was a close fight and one judge had froch by 6 points if I remember rightly and that's a ****ing disgrace. Boxers put everything on the line as in health, family life etc and you get some **** scoring it like that, this surely has to stop for the good of boxing!

    Froch was swingling wildy and missing for 2 minutes of every round
    117-111 is laughable

    At the end of the fight, Kessler did not look like a man who'd just won. Froch won it by a couple of rounds.

    6-6 fight was a draw...

    Kessler did not win...

    An arguement albeit wrongly can be made for froch 7-5 but kessler def did not win..

    First 3 rounds doing fk all cost him

    115-112 Froch. Close but clear, if Froch didn't go crazy each time he had Kessler hurt and picked his shots better he would have stopped Kessler.

    Don't know how anyone can make a case for Kessler winning this.
