    What controversy? It was a close fight where Froch simply did not do enough to retain his belt.

    What controversy from the Kessler fight! Carl needs to take his beating like a man. He'll end up being a bitter old man. I used to be a Froch man (quite the while ago now) but come on AA, knock the arrogant git out.

    Volcano ash contraversially got in Froch's eyes hence rendering him blind for the duration of the fight. He was also fighting with seven cracked ribs and a dislocated spine. Despite this he dominated all twelve rounds before being jobbed by the judges, all three of whom were strongly suspected of being 'European'.

    If I recall correctly.

    Duke tried incredibly hard to score that fight to Froch and still ended up scoring it to Kessler by a point.

    That's how comfortable it was.

    Duke Mackenzie: "I thought Froch nicked that round, but the judges will probably give it to Kessler", after rounds 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 & 12.

    The Kessler decision was fair, just that one scorecard made it seem worse than it was.

    You could argue it was less controversial than all three BBC commentators having it even.

    Buncey: "Froch nicked that one."
    Woodhall: "Yeah, I agreoooy."

    Chances of Froch losing to Abraham 10/11

    Chances of any British newspaper journalist giving Abraham points win 8/1
