The rematch, Carl Froch - Mikkel Kessler 2 fight chat thread - Warriors Call !!!

[CFH]

7-3 Froch. Things were starting to slip a bit, but he turned it around half way through that round.

[Spicoli]

8-2 Froch. Kessler looking sharp at start 11th

[Spicoli]

Froch stopped in his tracks for the first time with 40 seconds left in round! Kessler round, solid! 8-3

[CFH]

Had that one for Froch until Kessler staggered him,I still think you could justify scoring it for him.

7-4 Froch.

[CFH]

This might sound petty, but if I was trailing in a close fight, I would be pissed if the ref made me take 10-15 precious seconds in the last round to touch gloves and make nice.

[Master]

8-4 Froch cracking fight!!!!

[Beanflicker]

I had it a draw, 6 rounds apiece

[CFH]

I would say that may have been a 10-8 round for Froch. That ref should never work again for almost stopping that.

[CFH]

8-4 Froch. Another great fight.

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.

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

[IamInuit]

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

Congrats to Carl.

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

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

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