Mikkel Kessler W 12 Carl Froch SCORES: 115-113, 116-112, 117-111
The home team keeps the advantage, Mikkel Kessler keeps it perfect. Every hometown fighter has won when they have had the opportunity. Dumb Out Fight Sports scored the fight 115-113 for Froch. It was a very close contended match with a ton of action, Kessler being the aggressor. Many people are asking why Froch didn't put an exclamation point on the fight so he couldn't win. I think we have to credit Kessler for that. He worked hard, and when the hometown crowd goes crazy it is in your favor, because it can sway judges. Even though Kessler was more aggressive he was often tagged with counter punches. This was a seesaw battle and it could have gone either way, and Froch should have known that. When you are in the other guy's home town you have to take the fight to him. It you don't pitch a shutout, or score a KO odds are you will probably lose a decision. It happened to Dirrell and know ironically it happened to Froch. I think Froch deserved the decision but I wouldn't call it a robbery. If he gets hit as much as he did against Kessler than he will get knocked out by Abraham. On the other hand if he can make King Arthur miss, and make him pay he can win. We know he has power and can hurt Abraham, or anyone in the tournament for that matter. His best asset in the ring however may be his big heart, and belief in himself. He truly believes he can beat anyone in the world, and that alone can carry him to victory. We have to remember Froch comes on at the end of fights so he will be there untill the final bell.
