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

[skel1983]

Hammer how did you give Froch round 8? That was the most clear round of the fight imo.

I wanted Froch to win badly I had money on him and I have begun to like him but he lost, I scored it 116-112.

[ICB]

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

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.

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

I watched it again last night and i still had for it for Mikkel Kessler 115-113, and pretty much most people had it for Mikkel Kessler aswell. And i think that scoring is pretty much the most unbiased.

You don't let your biased views get in the way ? are you serious ? your scoring is horrendous, and all you do is constantly be totally biased towards British fighters.

Lastly why would i cry ? im not a fan of either fighter. But i don't hate either fighter either, your the one that had to change your name, and your boy lost legitmately so what have i got to cry about ?

See how you contradict yourself there?

And please stop with all this british fighters thing its really getting annoying. I`ll be just about the biggest malignaggi fans 3 weeks from now and was also in complete agreement with fantana over the disgraceful manner in which david haye barged his way to the world title against ruiz

The truth hurts doesn't it ? you are totally biased that is a fact, your scoring is a joke. And yes your boy lost legitmately, which is why the judges had it a UD for Mikkel Kessler, and because a majority of boxing fans British and non British had Mikkel Kessler a clear winner.

Your the one whining and crying because your boy lost, just be thankful he didn't lost earlier. Because he deserved to lose vs Andre Dirrell, atleast his first loss was in a FOTY candidate vs Mikkel Kessler.

Read what i said idiot, i said it was a FOTY "candidate". Meaning at the moment its one of the best fights of the year, i didn't say it was the best fight of the year, otherwise i would of said it was the "FOTY".

If you found that to be fight of the year worthy material im in no doubt you`d be able to sit through a junior witter boxset

Well so far its the 2nd best fight of this year maybe the 3rd, only Miguel Roman vs Antonio Escalante. Is the only real FOTY at the moment.

You must be very hard to please. Because i thought it was the best fight by far, in the Super six tournament. The action was always free flowing, no clinching or ETC. And the later rounds were dramatic and exciting, with both men cut and hurt.

I mean it had pretty much everything you could of hoped for, and your mocking me but except for Miguel Roman vs Antonio Escalante, has there really been a better fight this year ?

Of course i expect there will be quite a few more, better fights than Carl Froch vs Mikkel Kessler. But at the moment there isn't.

tons and tons, your average friday fight night would probably produce a fight of far better quality than 2 world class supermiddleweights feeling eachother out for 12rounds..

Some of those were in 2009, like i said i thought it was dramatic. The action was free flowing, and the later rounds were dramatic/exciting with the 12th round being a ROTY candidate.

I didn't think it was a great fight by any means. But it was a good fight overall with the later rounds being very good, both men were cut and hurt, not much else you could ask for except trading knockdowns.

Maybe you were expecting more. Or i was expecting less, whichever way i think we'll have to agree to disagree.

[HattonTheHammer]

just finished watching the fight again

cant believe the biggest travesty in boxing since lewis-holyfield 1 has been allowed to go under the radar thanks to sauerland and those bitches over at showtime

[erics44]

I thought Kessler won 116-115. It was a very close fight between two fighters lacking in skill and quality.

this is a fantastic thread and i have found the most outragious statement on it

there is a lot of writting on this page and a lot of claims about this and that and for me to find these 7 words is some achievement, I think io deserve some reps

i shall be awaiting your actions

thank you

[armin]

sometimes you're funny but sometimes you just seem to be delusional, kess won that fight. I'm pretty sure there was a poll up a few months back where it was like 4:1 to in kess' favor.

polls that involve froch and haye on this forum substancially go against froch and haye every single time so your post (the one which i have quoted above) dosent count for anything in this discussion

[armin]

wow I guess they show up in pairs now, yes I'm completely danish and had a stake in wanting kess to win, as did the rest of this forum. Actually every single one of us is a dane in disguise except for you and hammer, we have made it our mission to hate froch and haye for no reason what so ever, and claim they have lost every single fight ever.
