I had Kessler by a couple of rounds. The body punches in the middle rounds changed the fight, if i remember correctly. Kessler was shooting this straight right to the solar plexus and it really slowed Frochy down.
I think the reason why Froch complained so bitterly afterwards is because he knew that it was a fight that he should have won. With a smarter gameplan and a higher workrate he ought to have pulled it off. I hope they don't rematch down the line, Froch would smash what's left of Mikkel and it'd be a sad fight to watch. I've watched those clips of a young Ricky Hatton on the other thread, alright the opponents are pretty crap but technically he looked very good, a lot better than the mess he was in the Lazcano and Pac fights.
