For those who give a care

My Scorecard

Froch 10 10 9 10 10 9 9 9 10 10 9 9 114
Kessler 9 9 10 9 9 10 10 10 9 9 10 10 114


That was while watching it the first time. I have not rewatched it yet, but plan to.

It was close but clear in Kessler favor if this makes any sense. I agree with Bilbo that Froch looked like he could give more in some rounds, especially after the 8th.
Pretty fair scorecards, I have it 115-113 Kessler but I’d understand any score between 114-114 and 116-112 in Mikkel favor. I don’t think it would have been any different in any neutral location. The referee did a very good job as well, so we have better referees than MBR.
Very good fight tough and the 12th round was ROTY so far IMO.

Just watching the first round right now, but heard the commentators "froch is starting to pick him apart " really. wtf

Just finished watchin and there were many close rounds, I guess the rounds that kess won he won more convincingly, but definitely lot of close rounds. He doesn't seem as crisp and precise anymore, lot of punches that 2 years ago would have hit froch right on the chin went of to the side....the right man won tho I think. froch just seemed to passive and content, kessler made that fight, its not like froch was dominating the excanges and entirely eluding kess by going back which is pretty much the only way to win a fight going backwards.

115-113, purely because of Kesslers determination in the 12th.

116-111 froch

I didnot score the fight but my overall impression watching on tv was that Kessler was getting the better of it.


When Froch stepped up his game and seemed to start to take over Kessler raised it to an other level again.

I had Froch, just. That was watching it on Primetime on my telly. I've yet to rewatch. Before anyone moans, i'm not a Froch nut-hugger. I like both fighters. I wanted Froch to win but my scorecard doesn't change the result so being bias would be pointless. I can handle him losing

I'll probably rewatch at some point, and maybe i'll think Kessler won. It was close anyway.
