    I can't believe the decision on this one, Froch was landing the bombs and Kesslers flurries were barely connecting on Froch.

    My father in law is 85 yoa but an ex navy boxer and I showed him the fight being a fan of the sport. He is hard of hearing so not influenced by the commentary. He was 100% certain that Froch was whooping Kessler and was disgusted by the decision!

    Decisions like this ruin the good sport!

    I think Froch will destroy Abraham as he is there to be hit and has never been in with a hitter like Froch!

    Anyone else agree? Prefably non-German or Scandinavian as they are clearly bias

    Froch will beat Abraham. I see him being too rough, tough, big, tall, too much heart, much better workrate, good power, and winning a decision.

    I personally had Froch winning 7-5, but the fight was very close and far from a robbery.

    In my opinion anyone who thinks there was anything controversial about Kessler/Froch has a lot to learn about judging fights. So far it was the only fight in the S6 that wasn't marred by controversey.

    I didn't have a favorite before the fight, but was leaning toward Froch because I thought Kessler was past it.
    Kessler won the fight, close but he won it in my book.

    Froch wasn't robbed by a long shot, and for the record I didn't think Dirrell was robbed against Froch either... he just f*cked it up himself!

    Abraham has one punch KO power. Froch doesn't.

    Both have solid chins.

    Abraham is more technical (when he wants to be) than Froch.

    Froch is a brawler.

    It might be a bad idea to brawl with a BIG puncher like Abraham.


    I pick Abraham en route to a points decision via a few knockdowns.

    Froch landed the bombs? Well it was Froch who was hurt bad twice in the fight. First when his nose got broken, and then later in the 12th.

    This was not in any way controversial. I thought these guys put on A. The most entertaining fight of the tourney so far and B. Fought extremely competitively. I scored it for Kessler but if it had gone to Froch or a draw, I don't even think that would've been controversial, though I'd disagree.

    I find it funny that you're a Brit who makes a ridiculously bias post yet you have the audacity to ask for certain others not to offer their input. Shame on you!!

    This fight was close but the right guy won the fight.

    Sometimes it's better to show fights to those who have their marbles intact and remember to wear their glasses.

    I'm a Brit and had Kessler winning. A lot of people who scored for Froch (IMHO!!!) don't give enough credit to Kesslers right hand to the body that couldn't miss for most of the fight.
