Bar 7,8 and 9 I had it the same. I cant remember which of those rounds I had for Kessler but it only takes one and then its a draw.
7th & 8th Froch clearly won. In fact Froch battered him in the 8th. The 9th could have gone either way. Kessler landed the better punches but Froch landed more. I preferred the volume but I did deliberate which way that one could have gone. I think a 3rd fight is merited. It wasn't one sided in any way.
I agree. Its annoying how any mention that the fight was a draw and your blind or stupid. It WAS that close.

In fact it wouldnt surprise me if some of the same people who are awarding Froch rounds based on volume over Kesslers sharper, harder punches are the same who gave Calzaghe no credit for out landing Hopkins.
