kessler-froch what REALLY happened (a non biased account of what took place)

[HattonTheHammer]

May i start off by saying i hate ICB and nameless from the very pit of my very angry stomach and will take my revenge on both of them when i decide to pounce.

I write this as i have received many requests for me to explain my thoughts on the fight itself. This isnt a biased review of the fight, as i have explained many MANY times i find carl froch to be a somewhat of an arrogant twat and i dislike mikkel kessler for being foreign. This is pretty much what i saw and have since seen over and over again since the fight took place and im sure theres a good few people that will think im completely right.

At the time of the fight i was at my great mate grahams house to watch the fight due to the fact he had booked it on primetime and i was way too tight to pay the £15 needed to watch it at home. I was surprisingly sober at the time due to feeling the need to sober up while out because i assumed the fight would be shown at silly o`clock on US tv and only got told at 9pm that the card had already started me and graham rushed back to his house which was quite fine as it had been another very uneventful evening for catching poontang.

round 1-tentative start from both guys, both guys feeling eachother out as you would say. Froch goes to the body early doors and kessler tends to concentrate on finding any openings that arent there. For the most part of the round froch is the guy looking to sense an opening and kessler seems on the defensive. Froch trys to land bombs but gets nowhere

end of round 1:
Froch: 10
Kessler: 9 = 10-9 froch

round 2-finally things actually gets going. Kessler decides its time to fight on the front foot and froch obliges by allowing the space to close up. Kessler trys to desperately take the initative but every time is frustrated by frochs counters and the fact he is landing the far heavier punches. Kessler trys to smother frochs work and carl simply uses that to his advantage picking kessler off when he gets the chance.

end of round 2:
Froch: 10
Kessler: 9 = 20-18 froch

round 3 - frochs most dominant of the 3rounds. Kessler ups his work rate, carl just uses what god gave him and comes back at him with faster, harder counter punching. The fans are getting more and more into this fight as it goes on, the opening exchanges are dull but finally the 2 fighters are deciding its time to go to work. Kessler takes some hard exchanges towards the end of round 3 and froch realises he has him in a trance. You can clearly hear frochs girlfriend rachael something shouting for carl as they are the only brits in the crowd it appears. Its at this point that i head to the fridge to get me and my great mate graham another beer because all of this is making us thirsty.


end of round 3:
Froch: 10
Kessler: 9 = 30-27 froch

round 4 - its as if as each round goes by the 2 guys decide its time to get working. Kessler again ups his tempo and froch counters that with superior counter punching. Excellent work from froch who has his opponents number every time they come forward. At one stage froch has the confidence to start potshotting his opponent and even raises his fist to the fans to indicate he is in control of the fight. Kessler finally begins to land some big overhand rights towards the end of the round and the opinion is that he is finally growing in confidence.


end of round 4:
Froch: 10
Kessler: 9 = 40-36 froch

round 5 - the round of the fight and what i assumed would be the deciding factor in it. Kessler comes out much more aggresive than previous and froch matches him on the backfoot again. Kessler gets beat to the punch every single time and appears to become frustrated with the fact he is being heavily beat and resorts to trying to wrestle carl into making a mistake. Midway through the round froch lands a counter that sends kessler to the floor in a heap, only hang on.........the biased ref has ruled this a slip, a punch lands clean on the face, the fighter goes over.......its a slip?? at this point many of us begin questioning is this a showtime screwjob. Think about it only 1 man has a 100% record, all the fighters that have fought in their hometowns have won and it makes for a hell of a lot better viewing having a wide open tournament than one that is dominated by one particular fighter (carl froch)


end of round 5:
Froch: 10
Kessler: 8 = 50-44 froch

round 6 - Kesslers back. Its as if a different man has entered the ring (another conspiracy that he could at any stage been secretly given a performance enhancing drug, why is he so entent on suddenly drinking from his waterbottle more and more?). Dominates with that amazing jab of his and suddenly froch is getting beat to the punch all of a sudden, makes light work of carls desperate attempts to wrestle his opponent and takes the round at ease.

end of round 6:
Froch: 9
Kessler: 10 = 59-54 froch

round 7 - Kessler senses a turn in the fight and just like 6 has realised its now much more better to put the pressure on and take the fight to his opponent. Froch seems relaxed, too relaxed. Kessler is once again landing his overhand right freely and froch seems disoriantated and struggling to find an answer to kesslers aggression, though he is landing very little in power punches its clear to see that mikkel has upped his game and froch is struggling to deal with the pace thats been laid out.

end of round 7:
froch: 9
kessler: 10 = 68-64 froch

[HattonTheHammer]

round 8 - froch is back. The round is timid but froch is once again being able to land those solid rights that make him such the great champion that he is (was). Kessler isnt giving an inch and froch is taking advantage of the fact that mikkel is so eager to impress infront of the eager crowd willing him onto victory. I cant give you a hell of a lot of information as to whats going down in the ring at the moment because for anyone whos seen the fight that`ll be able to clearly tell you that theres not much (not frochs fault, watch froch-pascal if you want to watch a real fight). All of a sudden kessler lands with a huge right hand and wobbles froch, the commentators speak as if the fight is hanging by a thread yet froch seems bothered not one bit, what a chin this man has. At this point im convinced that froch is back in his groove and that the wbc super middleweight championship of the world will be coming back to britain on the very same day that west ham secure survival from the dreaded drop and thats a cue for my great mate graham to go back to his fridge and gety me another cold one (i dont normally drink throughout fights quite so much as i am on this occasion but thinking the fight wouldnt start until the wee hours of the next morning i kept myself sober throughout the evening hence to rush to knock back as many as i could when i got the text that it actually started at 9pm)

end of round 8:
froch: 10
kessler: 9 = 78-73 froch

round 9 - The realisation in that not a hell of a lot is going to come of this fight other than a lame ass points decison just like frochs last fight against dirrell (not frochs fault on both occasions just his lousy opponents). Froch wins the first part of the round with again supreme counter punching and that awesome reach that allows him to get through his opponents defence. Kessler comes on towards the end of the round picking off froch counters with sharp rights before froch wises up and makes it out of the round without much fuss. The crowd is going wild but its kinda hard to wonder why really. Me and graham then talk about great fights of yesteryear like vasquez-marquez because israels next fight is constantly being advertised on primetime. I then ask graham if its wise for me to post a fight review in a fantana esque fashion but inadvertedly, me and fantana cant help being one and alike we both have the same opinions on everything and having not read his entire book i still have absoloutely no idea where girls pee from


end of round 9:
froch: 10
kessler: 9 = 88-82 froch

round 10 - whys is kessler doing nothing? froch clearly has the beatdown on him and apart from the last 30 seconds kessler seems as if he wants no part of froch and is convinced that the hometown crowd will give him the edge with the fans. Im not not saying that froch is doing a hell of a lot here quite the contrary. He is working away but to very little effect and the fight is proving one big anti climax. Kessler as already mentions gets going with towards the end of the round but its just too little to late and froch has more than done enough to edge another 50/50 round.

end of round 10:
froch: 10
kessler: 9 = 98-91 froch

round 11 - now kess is in his groove, its almost as if someone has told him to wake up and smell the bacon. Huge round for the dane (who is also half english i might add). Froch seems almost as if he had only been told it was 10rounder and going through the motions. All the effort is coming from kessler here and immidiately i turn to my great mate graham and begin pondering if a potential screw job could be on the cards here and whether kim kardashian is ever able to lie on her back what with having such a massive ass.

end of round 11:
froch: 9
kessler: 10 = 107-101 froch

round 12 - OMG one of the best rounds you will see in 2010, all of a sudden a very dull boxing contest from absoloutely nowhere broke out into a fight. Both men desperate for the final round froch being because he is away from home and kessler because he is clearly miles behind on the cards. A back and forth slug fest that sees kessler owning the cobra for the 1st 2minutes of the round but carl coming back from nowhere to get back into it. Some beautiful lefts from carl recipicated from kessler with his usual big rights. A great great round that leaves you wishing the fight had started that way rather than ended like it.

end of the fight:
froch: 9
kessler: 10 = 116-111 froch

fantasic display from carl. To go all the way to denmark the very homeland of the favourite to win the fight and actually beat him is nothing short of miraculous. Froch was simply too quick and rangey for his opponent all night and throughully deserved his hard fought win. Kessler seems as if he is mocking his opponent by attempting to convince the home fans he has won the fight when clearly he, his team and even the fans know its a unanimous froch win coming his way.

Jimmy lennon Jr reads the results, 115-113, 116-112, 117-111.........great scoring someone had it exactly as i had with giving froch 8 of the 12 rounds although for some very strange reason not any of the 3judges have deducted a point from kessler for the knockdown (see how the conspiracy theory is playing out) its no bother froch retains the titles and i get to humiliate those 2 losers ICB and nameless for the fortnight.

jimmy lennon reads out the result....

"and the winner and the NEW WBC super middleweight champion of the world "

At this point me and my mate turn to eachother both believing we have just heard jimmy lennon Jr accidently announce the wrong fighters name and both give a nervy small chuckley snigger to each other. Nothing happens for a good 5-6 seconds, kessler is placed with the belt around his waist and i realise that the biggest farce since appointing cortez ref for the hatton-floyd fight had taken place and that carl froch had actually been mugged in broad daylight.

I wont tell you what took place from that moment onwards as minors may be reading this (not arthur scargill type minors but frankie muniz the kid from malcolm in the middle types). Suffice to say profanitys were uttered and beer was drunk. I type this angrily not just at the fact a fellow countrymen has been robbed but boxing in general has once again had to suffer a disgraceful outcome which will no doubt tarnish this great sport.

I am not fantana but this has been a pleasurable yet emotional read and i urge all my great great fans (i am the most well respected and beloved poster on the site) to rise above this injustice and let the authoritys that be know that this simply will not stand in our great sport

This needs circulating far and wide, for this is how the events on Saturday night actually happened. Not only was Hattontheexplicit able to successfully determine the rounds while under the influence, his mate Graham was also there to act as a trusted sidekick and make sure Hattontheexplicit was not distracted by the The Great Dames cheating. I mean his fucking tatoos, I thought it was a zebra in there at times, the way he kept zigzagging around, I found it hard to concentrate.

Even the biggest froch haters on this site have no answer to my superb calling of this brutal encounter.

Such a shame when fighters have to resort to such blatant hometown bias. Same thing happened to ruiz a few weeks back where the better fighter gets screwed over by everyone around him who is in on the conspiracy

[ICB]

Superb calling ? no one can be bothered because your post is so ridiculously biased. Majority of people had Mikkel Kessler winning, like 90 percent.

Hardly anyone thinks it's even debatable. Mikkel Kessler was the one coming forward, he was the one being the aggressor, he was the one putting his punches together. He was the one that landed the most punches.

All Carl Froch done was basically land a few hard punches here and there, while being on the backfoot. And so what if it was in Mikkel Kessler's hometown ?

It made no difference in the fight, the ref called it not a knockdown. Because it clearly wasn't a knockdown, Mikkel Kessler lost his balance while Carl Froch hit air and his glove no punches landed.

I have no doubt Mikkel Kessler won, if you want to delude yourself. Go right ahead, but you need to give other fighters credit. Outside of the UK and stop being so biased regarding UK fighters.

Carl Froch clearly lost end of get over it, just like he clearly lost to Andre Dirrell. But he got a gift decision because it was in his hometown, which makes me laugh considering your using that excuse now for Carl Froch, even though he clearly lost where as Andre Dirrell clearly won.

Carl Froch has got some heart and his tough, but he's an over achiever. His balance is pretty poor and his defense is even worse. He should work on getting better instead of making excuses.

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Froch's pirouette in the middle of the ring was awesome. Hopefully he gets a shot at dancing in the nutcracker next year.

[amat]

You gave Froch round 8

carl froch WBC super middleweight champion of the world

I thought Kessler won 116-115. It was a very close fight between two fighters lacking in skill and quality. I don't know why both men were so tired, it wasn't exactly what I would call a 4real hard fight. I think what lost Froch the fight, is that he doesn't look good on the eye. He looks sloppy, his jab isn't a jab, he just paws it out there. Don't get me wrong Kessler was poor too and needs lessens in how to cut the ring, but thought he just nicked it. Frochs lucky ran out. He could and should have lost to Dirrell. He got a gift in that fight and Jermain Taylor beat Jermain Taylor, not Froch.

round 10 - whys is kessler doing nothing? froch clearly has the beatdown on him and apart from the last 30 seconds kessler seems as if he wants no part of froch and is convinced that the hometown crowd will give him the edge with the fans. Im not not saying that froch is doing a hell of a lot here quite the contrary. He is working away but to very little effect and the fight is proving one big anti climax. Kessler as already mentions gets going with towards the end of the round but its just too little to late and froch has more than done enough to edge another 50/50 round.

end of round 10:
froch: 10
kessler: 9 = 98-91 froch

round 11 - now kess is in his groove, its almost as if someone has told him to wake up and smell the bacon. Huge round for the dane (who is also half english i might add). Froch seems almost as if he had only been told it was 10rounder and going through the motions. All the effort is coming from kessler here and immidiately i turn to my great mate graham and begin pondering if a potential screw job could be on the cards here and whether kim kardashian is ever able to lie on her back what with having such a massive ass.

end of round 11:
froch: 9
kessler: 10 = 107-101 froch

round 12 - OMG one of the best rounds you will see in 2010, all of a sudden a very dull boxing contest from absoloutely nowhere broke out into a fight. Both men desperate for the final round froch being because he is away from home and kessler because he is clearly miles behind on the cards. A back and forth slug fest that sees kessler owning the cobra for the 1st 2minutes of the round but carl coming back from nowhere to get back into it. Some beautiful lefts from carl recipicated from kessler with his usual big rights. A great great round that leaves you wishing the fight had started that way rather than ended like it.

end of the fight:
froch: 9
kessler: 10 = 116-111 froch

fantasic display from carl. To go all the way to denmark the very homeland of the favourite to win the fight and actually beat him is nothing short of miraculous. Froch was simply too quick and rangey for his opponent all night and throughully deserved his hard fought win. Kessler seems as if he is mocking his opponent by attempting to convince the home fans he has won the fight when clearly he, his team and even the fans know its a unanimous froch win coming his way.

Jimmy lennon Jr reads the results, 115-113, 116-112, 117-111.........great scoring someone had it exactly as i had with giving froch 8 of the 12 rounds although for some very strange reason not any of the 3judges have deducted a point from kessler for the knockdown (see how the conspiracy theory is playing out) its no bother froch retains the titles and i get to humiliate those 2 losers ICB and nameless for the fortnight.

jimmy lennon reads out the result....

"and the winner and the NEW WBC super middleweight champion of the world "

At this point me and my mate turn to eachother both believing we have just heard jimmy lennon Jr accidently announce the wrong fighters name and both give a nervy small chuckley snigger to each other. Nothing happens for a good 5-6 seconds, kessler is placed with the belt around his waist and i realise that the biggest farce since appointing cortez ref for the hatton-floyd fight had taken place and that carl froch had actually been mugged in broad daylight.

I wont tell you what took place from that moment onwards as minors may be reading this (not arthur scargill type minors but frankie muniz the kid from malcolm in the middle types). Suffice to say profanitys were uttered and beer was drunk. I type this angrily not just at the fact a fellow countrymen has been robbed but boxing in general has once again had to suffer a disgraceful outcome which will no doubt tarnish this great sport.

I am not fantana but this has been a pleasurable yet emotional read and i urge all my great great fans (i am the most well respected and beloved poster on the site) to rise above this injustice and let the authoritys that be know that this simply will not stand in our great sport

I thought Kessler won 116-115. It was a very close fight between two fighters lacking in skill and quality. I don't know why both men were so tired, it wasn't exactly what I would call a 4real hard fight. I think what lost Froch the fight, is that he doesn't look good on the eye. He looks sloppy, his jab isn't a jab, he just paws it out there. Don't get me wrong Kessler was poor too and needs lessens in how to cut the ring, but thought he just nicked it. Frochs lucky ran out. He could and should have lost to Dirrell. He got a gift in that fight and Jermain Taylor beat Jermain Taylor, not Froch.

you didnt happen to be watching the fight with teddy atlas did you

ICB once again crys like a bitch allowing his anti froch stance to get in the way of what actually happened. Froch could of won every single around and you would of still called it for kessler. Unlike yourself i dont allow my biased opinions to get in the way of scoring contests and call it as i see it
