The fairytale continues for Rendall!

Froch or Kessler tonight then? And how? I'd like to see a mid-late KO for Froch.

Got to love 2 Tone! I really hope he can go on and win a world title now.

Can't wait for the Froch fight now, I can see Carl stopping him in about 7.


COME ON CARL!

I met Froch in Bodrum last year , Nice bloke to talk too even though i thought it was MaCcarinelli .What times he due on?

Fair result . Kessler simply out worked him . He was on the front foot from the start and froch did to little too late .

Thought Froch was marginally the better man but it was a close fight. Judges scores were dodgy though, especially the guy who gave it to Kessler by 6 rounds, who incidentally, was the same bloke that refereed Sven Ottke vs. Robin Reid.

agree with this, kessler won the fight...

great fight though, two tough battlers, froch gone up in my estimation... hope he regains his title at some point, like he said maybe if it was in notts he would of got the result!

Froch took a couple of great shots on the chin that would have put many a fighter down but he took them well . It's not the end of the world for him and the loss will drive him on to regain the title back.

yes agree, that shot in round 8 i think, his legs went!! but survived... kessler too took some full blooded right hands .. that cut was awful on his eye

I'm not sure Froch can come back.....He's had some tough battles lately....Pascal, Taylor, and now Kessler...He's going to become worn out, I'd be worried that Abraham will overwhelm a tiring fighter in his next bout.

I thought Froch won by a round or 2. I thought he outboxed Kessler, and it was only Kessler's workrate that won him the (particulary in the middle rounds. I also think that Froch will come out of this better than Kessler. Kessler looked like a rag doll at times in there, and his face was battered by the end of the fight. But I knew Froch wouldn't win if it went the distance. Its Saurland after all.
