Rewatched fight and this guy is a downright ****ing fraud. No way in hell that fight is that wide for either man. It's a two point swing max IMO
You don't need to "hand it" to a fighter to get a 117-111 scorecard. There are 5 rounds in this fight that even a blind man would give to Kessler, he did more work, landed better shots and had Froch on the back foot. There is one round where Froch did the better work - leaving six close rounds, giving them 3 each still gives Kessler a 116-112 score - if someone gave him 4 of them, you've got the 117-111 score.
I got impression they expected it from that ****ing stupid clown. Wish Robin Reid would of just KO'd him and got rid of this ***** from our sport.
