Froch v Kessler - challenge

[GAME]

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.

i have watched it again (for the third time) and i am in disbelief that anyone could say kessler won

the way i see it 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 and 12 were close enough to argue either way, froch was clearly on top in the other 6, so being absolutely kind in every way to kes it was a draw

skel - he didnt win 4, i have watched that round more than 3 times and no matter how many ways i look at it kes didnt do anywhere near enough, he looked out of his depth
