Kessler - Froch result....spoilers

[Dark Lord Al]

Froch is tough ,but one paced and limited , he was outworked by a fighter who had the chin to take his punches and the better workrate.
Froch for me doesnt have the speed for the hands down style at this level.
I dont rate Kessler that highly either.

[Mo Frazier]

117-111
Havnt a clue were that came from I thought it was a really close fight

That's exactly what I said, what terrible scoring. The fight could've gone either way.

[Hornfinger]

that judge tilleman (soring 117 - 111) is the same guy who used to ref sven ottke fights and protect his unbeaten record the guy is on of the most corrupt things in the sport....

I had it 115 Froch - 116 Kessler

Very close fight.

Froch is a bit stuipis really. I thought it was common knowledge that if you want to win in someone else's back yard you need to beat them decisively and not leave anything to chance. Froch tried to nick it. Very bad tactics.

I think froch is in trouble now, a fight like that takes alot out of you and he's got abraham next who I think is probably tougher then kessler.

Oh well I'm two for two on my predictions.....

Thats what I been thinking Froch has had three very hard fights in 18 months, Pascal,Taylor and Kessler he is al so nearly 33, this will catch up with him, the last fight you want after this is against a hard bastard like Abraham.

I think Froch showed signs of slowing down a little bit last night, his output in the middle rounds was not like him especially against a guy like Kessler who come in in straight lines.

[Rantcatrat]

I'll say it again, I had it a draw or very close. 117-111 was out of line even with the close rounds. Kessler looked banged up after the fight. That cut was deep and will take a long time to heal.

I think that is bang on. I've said that before a while back. Kell Brook is another that has the same sort of drawback for me. Always gonna get shown up when the opposition is upped. Disapointed for froch though, I thought he was gonna beat Kessler up. Kessler showed plenty to keep on going for the 12 and has certainly got more to offer the tournament than I thought he did.
