Brutal fight last night, but he just didn't seem his usual self. No doubt he'll regain the title in the future

Lee , why does he make excuses for his loss by saying that if the fight had been in Nottingham things would have gone his way.

Lee , why does he make excuses for his loss by saying that if the fight had been in Nottingham things would have gone his way. Because it would have done, they had 3 danish judges it wasn t as one sided as the scores suggested, yes, kesler got a lot more jabs in but he also got rocked more than Froch did and Kessler also ended up on the canvass one round. Even One of the judges was one of the men who contributed to the Robin Reed farce a few years ago It was a very good fight, well worth the £14.95

Firstly, the judges were in fact from Belgium (2 judges) and Italy although you are right that one of them was involved in the Reid farce. Kessler wasn't knocked down and this was proven on the replay that it was a slip. I do agree that it was a close fight and had Carl not let the middle rounds get away from him he could have taken this. However, I felt that Froch did not impose his will and take Kesslers jab away from him. Kessler came forward all night and deserved the narrow win. It was a great fight from both fighters and this loss certianly doesn't harm his reputation. You could also easily argue that Froch was the benefactor of a very generous home town decision against Dirrell which was pretty clear cut.

Not many english fans there at all, fun crowd though, with a pretty good atmosphere.

British media agree that he lost. Maybe he'll learn from this and come back better like Amir Khan. Maybe he won't ever quite recover like Tyson and Prince Naz.
I hope he wins it back. He's good but he's not great. Calzaghe was great.
Big difference.

Please dont bring the word 'Calzaghe' into a Froch thread. Overated overated overated!
I'd of love to of seen him fight Kessler in Denmark just like Froch did, instead of having about 3 fights in America against over the hill boxers. If he'd of been in this tournament he'd of lost at least once..

Now Carl is threatening to pull out of the super six as it seems his fight against Abrahams in August will be on the continent too, probably in germany, seems seriously unfair, Carl demanded that his next fight is in Britain.... i gues we ll have to watch this space. agree with Adam the welsh weakling was over rated , not once did he fight someone in their prime, he went 10 years by fightng pass it fighters just for a easy payday . Once Froch has fought in august , he ll have fought 4 capable boxers within 2 years . Can t wait to watch the fight in august... just so the cameras keep zooming to his missus

He definitely didn't lose by 6 rounds but he did lose the fight and the rounds Kessler actually won were generally more clear cut than Froch's. Also, you always have to look much better than your opponent when you're fighting on the back foot which Carl did for a large portion of the fight. As for Calzaghe, he was a better technical boxer and beat Kessler, although his fight style wasn't great due to the hand problems he had. Froch has genuinely wanted to prove himself and has shown he's been willing to take risks that Calzaghe didn't really take. Although, at the end of the day Calzaghe was a better boxer but Froch is the more entertaining.
I would have thought venues should have been sorted out aat the start of the tournament, however, if he does fight in Germany he needs to put the result out of doubt.

Froch needs to sort his guard out if he wants to stand a chance against Calzaghe or any other top fighter IMO. Great finish though and a good win in America. Not seen the whole of the latest fight but Froch still doesn't have a guard. He needs to bring in a quality trainer like freddy roach to sort it out. I'm sad to say he won't hold onto any title until he sorts it out.

And neither would Kessler I suspect.

Its not all doom and gloom, losing on points to Kessler in his barn is nothing to be ashamed of! I still fancy him to win the other fights. I know its not the boxing way of thinking, but Kessler is a damn good fighter and by far the toughest opponent Froch has faced, and maybe will face. He needs to pick himself up though, because Abraham will be ready for him.

It's just frustrating as he could be very good, even better, very easily.

Great looking new film about Micky Ward, true Rocky rags to riches style story about a tough tough fighter, should be good.

One of the greatest nights of sports entertainment Nottingham will ever see - what a performance from a Nottingham hero who is surely now also a genuine legend. He deserves another shot at Kessler now surely? And potentially in Nottingham too?

That was one of the best Froch fights i've seen, Bute just couldn't handle his power and speed...
Froch is by no means a pretty / technical fighter but when he's on that kind of form he's the best in the world, i think he'd have beaten anyone in that ring last Saturday... Immense!
