I've just seen the last 4 rounds on this Primetime Show tonight!!!!
I heard it was close but that was utterly savage, I'd never seen it b4. Even Mckenzie said it was X-rated. He must have been bitterly disappointed getting shafted by 6 rounds by one judge. He needed a knockout to get a draw there IMO no wonder the poor fella won't travel.
Superhuman effort by both fighters there imo. (at least from the last 4 rounds I saw as I say)

If you watch the whole fight froch lost imo he hurt kessler more but kessler landed the cleaner stuff. It was a classic fight all high tempo action - Froch actually won alot of respect from me before he said he should have won and in nottingham he would have got the decision. Bet he felt like a titt for saying he could have beaten calzaghe though.

why should he?
Joe only beat Kessler with home advantage and winning enough of the late rounds to scrape by. Froch at home in Nottingham would more than likely have done the same.

Great last four rounds, but I feel the fight as a whole is overated cause its far from savage in the opening rounds.

I had Froch winning it. Kessler showed a lot of balls turning Froch back in the mid rounds.

He won by 117-111, 116-112 and 116-112 - thats not scrapping it or home advantage, you must be thinking of another fight.
