Froch-Kessler - who wins? (poll)

[ono]

I'll watch it again tonight, but I had the fight a draw. I agree with Froch too if the fight had been in Nottingham, he would have won. It was very close. If you asked me who impressed me more regardless of the outcome, I would say Froch. Oh and that was the best fight of the Super Six thus far and fight of the year to this date in my opinion. Great final round. Wow.

I feel exactly the same way.

At least i wasn't the only one.

I actually had Froch winning, but I have no problem with the decision. I gave him almost all the close rounds. However, I was watching it on a sopcast stream, so I need to rewatch it to form a more accurate opinion.

Carl Froch already got a gift decision in Nottingham, no need for it a second time. And plus he was on the backfoot all night, only landing the odd punch here and there.

And you certainly can't win a fight that way, in the other guys hometown. But i had Mikkel Kessler winning legitmately anyway, he made the fight by being the constant agressor. Going to the body wearing Carl Froch down, putting his punches together, aswell as having the higher workrate.

I watched this fight in it's entirety yesterday, and i GUESS, maybe, if it was in Nottingham Froch would've won, but I would've thought Kessler got screwed out of a great fight and win.. With Froch losing in Denmark, i don't feel that he got screwed. He didn't do anything. Kessler pushed the entire fight, he had his jab working, he controlled center of the ring, and i would say that they both landed close to equal amount of power shots.

But, I think Kesslers short right hand later in the fight, round 9 or 10ish stunned Froch and that that was the biggest blow of the fight. I'm not sure how Froch could really even want to say that he felt he should've won.. i'd be ashamed.. he didn't do ANYTHING! Kesslers pushed the fight, hit the body hard at the beginning, stunned Froch in later rounds = him winning the fight. I don't think you can make nearly as good of a case for Froch.

Those body shots he was landing on Froch from 1 - 5, the low straight rights were absolutely on the button, same spot nearly every time. That was a new thing for Froch for sure, nobody has worked his body like that before, definately kept him at bay. Froch's footwork is also some of the worst i've seen. I think Froch needs a very slow, almost stationary target to throw and land clean punches. His feet are either one down one up, both up lunging or too square to get full leverage on any punch. When he has his feet planted and lands with a straight right or something he looks decent, but for the best part he's way too square or off balance to be effective. IMO he might actually have a chance for a KO against AA due to AA lack of movement, but Dirrell and Ward will make him look a fool again all day.

IT was a good competitve fight and agree with ur assesment. They landed similar amount of eye catching head shots, but you'd have to ignore the great bodywork Kess was doing to score the fight any closer than 116-112 IMO.
