mikkel Kessler Beats Carl Froch By Unanimous Decision - 117-111, 115-113, 116-112

117-111
Havnt a clue were that came from I thought it was a really close fight, Froch going to make excuses i think so

Some have started by saying he was holding back on his punches, getting the injury excuse ready !

Must of the shots i seen him through he through with Power So guess hes retired now since he said hes going to retire if he gets Wrong Decision, Has he said he though he won? never seen interview after the fight. What was said?

Carl basically said he would have won in England Peter schmeichel said well you got a win over Dirrel. The crowd bood him but Carl has got his missus pregnant.

Peter Schmeichel must be the Danish Paxman nowadays! Wasn't exactly a grilling, and for all the talk about it in the post-fight interview I think Schmeichel fancies pregnant birds.

Didn't get the PPV, played FIFA whilst listening to it on 5 live, but from what Buncey and the crew there were saying Kessler just about deserved the win, but the crowd had widened the scoring. Buncey had it even giving two of the earlier round that were fairly even to Froch as he was champion.

Amended the title for those American viewers who may be watching the delayed feed over there.

That's exactly what I said, what terrible scoring. The fight could've gone either way.

that judge tilleman (soring 117 - 111) is the same guy who used to ref sven ottke fights and protect his unbeaten record the guy is on of the most corrupt things in the sport....

I had it 115 Froch - 116 Kessler

Very close fight.

Froch is a bit stuipis really. I thought it was common knowledge that if you want to win in someone else's back yard you need to beat them decisively and not leave anything to chance. Froch tried to nick it. Very bad tactics.

I think froch is in trouble now, a fight like that takes alot out of you and he's got abraham next who I think is probably tougher then kessler.

Oh well I'm two for two on my predictions.....

Thats what I been thinking Froch has had three very hard fights in 18 months, Pascal,Taylor and Kessler he is al so nearly 33, this will catch up with him, the last fight you want after this is against a hard bastard like Abraham.

I think Froch showed signs of slowing down a little bit last night, his output in the middle rounds was not like him especially against a guy like Kessler who come in in straight lines.

I'll say it again, I had it a draw or very close. 117-111 was out of line even with the close rounds. Kessler looked banged up after the fight. That cut was deep and will take a long time to heal.

Havent seen the fight by the reactions on the 117-111 card its sounds like kessler may of got the same judge that gave him 120-108 vs Mundine (no fuckin way he won every round in that fight).

117-111 would not be a bad score for either fighter to win. THere were sooo many close rounds, that if favor one fighter in those rounds, it would give you a wider score.

I personal scored it for Kessler by a couple of rounds. Froch was just too complacent.

I need to watch the fight properly as I missed a few of the later ones and was on a stream. Kessler looked to be taking over when I lost things, but by the time I was back Kessler was cut and apparently Froch was edging his way back.

Need to watch again methinks. It might well have been close. I did have it even after 6.

That was Mudine's best fight IMO, even though he lost. I can't really remember, but I think I had it something like 116-112 Kessler.

Froch is tough ,but one paced and limited , he was outworked by a fighter who had the chin to take his punches and the better workrate.
Froch for me doesnt have the speed for the hands down style at this level.
I dont rate Kessler that highly either.
