Sorry guys but some (violent D) are chatting shit about this fight. Instead of posting i thought he won by so much how about posting your scorecards. Here's mine (all rounds are 10-9)
1. Pascal
2. Pascal
3. Froch
4. Pascal
5. Pascal
6. Froch
7. Froch
8. Pascal
9. Froch
10. Froch
11. Froch
12. Froch
Froch was loose early on for sure but rounds 1 and 2 could have gone either way and Froch dominated down the stretch, the scoring was bulshit but there not UK judges so dont go having a go at us Brits.
Agreed Froch won in a close fight and amazing that Calzhage fans make this about him starting to turn me against Joe and he's currently one of my favorite fighters.Quote:

Did you know where the judges were from?Quote:

The scores was ridiculous, but all the judges were foreign.
Where is the hate on Kessler coming from? Kessler is top quality.
Maybe on your planetQuote:

Or could he just be trying to wind everybody up - surely not

I bet you were calling him unproven before the Calzaghe fight weren't you:rolleyes:Quote:

Truth is, it's what Kessler does next that will tell us how good he is.
Certainly UK FOTY and a contender for World honours.
The fight had everything. Both fighters gave it there all.
I had Froch winning as he was the stronger in the 2nd half.
If he's unproven what does that make Froch? If Kessler is one-dimensional what does that make Froch? If they ever fight Kessler beats Froch like a gong.Quote:

I'll give you this only. I did watch vie stream. Which is not the best way to watch. I got the fight downloading and will watch it again. Maybe my opinion will differ. But stream or not, those scores were bullshiit.Quote:

of course because it was a British fighter competing for the title in a competative fight you know who certain biased posters are going to try and turn it around for.
Good fight, one of the best of the year. Both came to win and fought hard and cleanly. Can't ask for more.
