    This is such a bad poll. Very badly worded.. "closer AND clear cut"????

    What is that supposed to mean?

    Anyway..

    Kessler won clearly but only by a couple of rounds. Kessler threw more, landed more, was the one pressuring etc. 90% fans in here after the fight had Kessler clearly winning. almost all reporters had Kessler winning (except a couple of UK reporters).

    Dirrell on the other hand is much more up in the air and depends how you want to score a fight. This is because Froch threw more, Dirrell may have landed more, but Froch was the one pressuring the issue. So more divided. The attitude on ESB was very split after this fight, as were the oppinions of international reporters.

    I think Dirrell could be given the fight because he did have the better punches and perhaps even more of them. But I also think it would be a shame if he were to get a championship belt on such a negative boxing style.

    Like KO-KING I had it 115-113 Kessler, but I had Froch vs that lowlife Dirrell the other way round (114-113 Dirrell)
    Glad Froch got the nod though against that spoiler. :yep
