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

[Beanflicker]

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

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.

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

Congrats to Carl.

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.

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.

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.

I agree.

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

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

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.
