Froch v Kessler - challenge

[ICB]

erics44 has only been here a short time and he is already proving he knows more about boxing than most of the veterans on here claim too

ice - you saw a different fight to everyone else, im convinced your talking about the undercard fight as nothing you currently say makes any sense

Everyone else ? who's everyone else ? most ringside experts, and most boxing fans had Mikkel Kessler winning, and the 3 most important men, the official judges also had Mikkel Kessler winning, so no i'd say i see the right one.

Surely this thread is a bit of a wind up. Anyway, for sure I will try and download the fight over the weekend and give my own proper take on it in the next few days.

I thought Kessler won comfortably and couldnt understand why some thought Froch won afterwards. He was never going to get a decision in Denmark unless he clearly won the rounds. Most of the time he was on the back foot and Kessler was the one opening up. It was almsot as if Froch was afraid of giving it his all and surredered the title rather than go out fighting. He certainly didnt show teh passion he showed against Taylor and Pascal. We may see the warrior back against Abraham but he would be better suited using his head in that one ironically.

That is my scorecard, hard fight to judge in truth, very close rounds Kessler always pressing the action Froch countering well Kessler working the body well, Froch lost this fight in the middle rounds, like people say if this was in the uk he probably would of got the nod the rounds were close many of them anyway, just pisses me off because watching that Froch didnt look his best that night and kessler has dropped dramatically from his prime, he was there for the taking and Froch did not deliver imo.

I thought it was very close and although I wish Froch won, I just felt that I couldn't argue as all the better work was being done by Kessler.

It was a great tear up, but the better boxing seemed to be coming from Kessler.
