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.
24 Beers in a slab, 24 hours in the day.......go figure.
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.
Balls
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.

As anyone who has ever read my posts knows, I can't stand Carl Froch and thought he was the beneficiary of a disgraceful hometown decision against Andre Dirrell. But, that was a close fight, I think people saying he only won 2/3 rounds are off their rocker. He had it close and I have to say I was worried he'd pull out a stoppage in the last round as Kessler looked ready to go. Instead Mikkel came out and showed amazing heart to take that last one. Froch looked like he was willing to get hurt for the win, Kessler looked willing to die for it. Their body language at the end said it all about who won.
I had it 115-113 in a very competitive fight where the loser (Froch) definitely didn't lose face of value due to the packed action and the great heart he showed. IT is a clear but decision in a very tough and competitive fight for the Viking.

That's the way it is, not the way it ends
This is a good and fair assessment imo, as I have now watched the fight 3 times and agree with most of the quoted. my score card closed a bit in gap with each viewing but I'm afraid will will never get to, no matter how many times i watch it, a HTH view point.
p.s. You were missed in the chat room Saturday nite, Jaz. But CFH said you were likely just at a black panther rally tho, so it's cool. Next tie buddy.
