    Stop looking first at what nationality a fighter has, look at the fights objectively. I am neither Danish nor British and I think Kessler won the fight. A close one, no shamer for Froch. He fought bravely and with a lot of heart.

    Froch made major tactical mistakes by not working to the body at all and by basically boxing without any guard whatsoever. He could have won this if he had a smarter, more defensive gameplan.

    Froch lost so much ground in the later rounds by frantically trying to score a KO with using no defense whatsoever that it cost him the fight.
     
  2. I agree. Although I don't think it would be an outright robbery to give it to Kessler, Sauerland knew they had won it the minute the bell went. During the fight Froch landed the much cleaner shots. The amout of shots that Kessler threw that fell short or were just blocked was extremely high. I'm also pissed off even though most other posters on here don't agree. Sadly we won't even begin to sort this mess out until there is an independent boxing organisation with world juristiction that has a vetting proceedure for appointing judges and assigning them to fights. This won't happen.

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    You ass clowns banging on about match fixing in a fight that has an uncontroversial decision are only hurting the sport of boxing. Even the polls on ESB came out about 92% in Kessler's favour.

    Is it really possible to continue this idiocy?

    Kessler won that fight fair. Get the **** over it.

    115-113 or maybe even 116-112 is a good scoring of this fight. Kessler landed more shots and he had Froch going backwards almost the entire fight. Alot of close rounds and mad respect to both.

    But please do stop the bull****. There is no case here. I would much rather look into the Froch-Dirrell fight if I where you. In that fight you could have a reason to suspect something was wrong.
     
  6. 117-111 was well wide of the mark. Kessler did not land more shots at all.

    Actually - I have now seen the broadcasts from several countries and read newspapers from several countries.

    NOT one outside of England had Froch winning (except one from the US). A few from the US had the fight a draw.

    Far the majority of US, (and even UK!!! FFS!!!) media had KEssler the right winner. In any other country, and vast amounts of newspapers and journalists all had Kessler winning closely to clearly. Many actually had 118-110 and 117-111 - the same that Tileman had. The scandinavian TV broadcast had Kessler winning by 11 rounds to 1..!!!

    Remember that this is an english speaking board with a majority of US and UK fans.

    And still in here like 90% says that the best man won.

    __________________________

    So, overall - there really is ZERO controversy except for a few Froch fanatic cry-babies.

    END OF.
