Kessler Beats Carl Froch

Kessler Beats Carl Froch

I thought this was a great fight. Two top class, similar in style fighters trading big punches from the first bell to the last. Both boxers had good spells in the fight, but I do beleive that the right fighter got the decision on the score cards. Kessler was controlling the pace, and done more work overall. He really deserved the win. I can see where Carl Froch was coming from when he mentioned that if he was at home he would of won on the cards. And I could also understand Carl's shock that one of the judges scored the fight to Kessler by a huge margin, which i think was 117 - 111. No way should this fight have been scored like that, as It was a very close fight.

But as I said, Kessler did win by a point or two. Carl Froch didn't do enough in my opinion. Anyone that watched the fight would of seen the body language of each fighter at the last bell. Kessler was celebrating, and Carl Froch looked like he knew he had lost, no celebrating, just a look of sadness. Deep down, Carl was aware he hadn't done enough, no matter what he said to the interviewers after the fight.

Kessler, for now, holds the WBC title, but who knows who will hold it when the super six tournament ends, your guess is as good as mine.

Carl Froch will now face Arthur Abraham, who is also coming off a loss, so both will be raring to go. This fight will be explosive.
