And i know punchstats don't always tell the whole story, but the punchstats agree with what i see. Mikkel Kessler was the aggressor landing more punches, where as Carl Froch was cautious landing one punch at a time mostly, until he upped it somewhat in the later rounds. Also Mikkel Kessler was able to rock/hurt Carl Froch, Mikkel Kessler never appeared hurt in the fight.

Kessler - Total Thrown: 765, Total Connects: 147 (19%)
Froch - Total Thrown: 546, Total Connects: 98 (18%)

youll have to show me where this froch being hurt business is, in fact show me when kessler lands a punch of any note (i actually think there is 1 hook in round 8 he lands, doesnt rock froch tho)

kessler is out on his feet in round 5
