I don't think he was trying to stop it. I think he got confused with the 10 second mark sound

Lol at Harold saying Byrd is a class judge. She probably has it a draw.

I nearly screamed at the TV, imagine if such a great fight was capped off by a bullshit stoppage like that.

---

That would have been criminal.

Didn't have have it 6-5 Froch going into the final round? Are you saying you scored the final round for Kessler?

---

I dunno about him but I had it 6-5 for Kessler going into the 12th.

I saw a very close fight.

Fair point. I can't see any justification in stopping it there.

Edit: Watching the replay, I think you're right.

116-113 115-112 117-112

They fought their Hearts out. They left it all in the ring.

God bless them.

Oh come the fuck on already

He did control the first half

Amaizing. I think Forch threw one left to the body and Kessler wilted :rolleyes:

Great fuckin fight though. 10/10 to both guys!!

Froch won. Kessler must have got hurt early and couldn't get it back. He seemed lacklustre.

118-110!?! Absurd.

The French Judge needs to surrender his license

Shame for him then that the rounds are 3 minutes long.

Class and respect by both these warriors, class and respect.

Are people gonna want the rubber-match now? The question will start immediately.

So Toupin was the hack this time with the 115/113 score.

Congrats to Carl.

Shit, honestly? What a disgrace... 2 rounds, 3 at a push. Disrespectful to Kessler!!

Andre Ward thinking. "Alright. 2 more belts I'll be easily adding to my collection"

What's Ward got to say about a rematch, HBO viewers?

Great, great fight. Much clearer win than the first fight but still close. Well done Carl.

What were the scorecards stream went to shit

You think that's really a bad score? I'm probably in the minority but I saw a very close fight (I had 6-6 but I can see 7-5 or even 8-4 for Froch).

I think 10-2 for Froch is criminal.

Ward can stay in Oklahoma or where ever he's from.

Good fight, but I didn't think much of the cards. I have it 7-5 to Froch with the difference being Froch seeming to want it more and making sure he just got more off. Kessler was waiting too much and let himself be outworked.

Froch won that well.
Lets see ward vs froch 2.

I had it 7-5 froch with froch getin the win by winning the 12th, if you hbad that 10-2 froch you shouldn't be allowed to judge a fight.

Ward says Froch has earned a rematch. If they pay him right he'll happily beat his ass again

Glad that Froch won after every one saying "I'm supporting Kessler because he is more of a gent" really? It's not celebrity big brother. Both are a credit to boxing. Great fight.

I agree.

I scored it 115-113 for Froch. That 118-110 scorecard was ridiculous.

I had it 7-5 Froch. 115-113. I'd happily watch a 3rd fight, that was edge of your seat stuff at times.

Nice. If they make that fight in Britain I'll be ringside to watch Froch get battered again.:)

Froch really sounds like hes leaning to a 3rd Kessler than Ward ???
I really don't see anything changing, they look to have gone different directions honestly

Translation: In England I can rob him

I had Froch winning 7-5 with the 12th round sealing it great fight.

I had it wider but 10/2 is criminal. And here I thought Byrd might call it draw lol. Her cards as bad as Toupins.

I'm just glad he right guy won.

Ward hasn't even got a belt couldn't draw flies if he was dung, and should be made to sing for his supper. Wont happen because Ward the pussy won't fly to the U.K.

It is boxing and character and style mesh to give you the fighter you like. Saying stuff like 'I will kill him' is bound to make people think you are a bit off and thus in a pick 'em where you like both fighters, that might make you lean another way. It is inevitable and normal.

Having said that, the truth willed out in the post fight as it often does. These two are friendly and thus any pre fight angst leaves only the fight and the better fighter won.

It was a good fight and the difference was largely Froch's will. He makes sure he gets off and thus lands more and tries to do that as often as he can. It isn't an output like Calzaghe's that was fluid and mixed, Froch just bites down and grinds out the short bursts of combination. He is definitely a much less lazy fighter.

He'll come over for the money. Absolutely no doubt. He beat Froch last time with one hand.
