Nevertheless, Froch got the win and the 2 points for his victory.[3] In his second bout of the Super Six, the contestant was Danish boxer Mikkel Kessler. 31-year-old Kessler managed to take the WBC super-middleweight title from defending champ Carl in a great action fight that had some truly memorable trading, especially in the later rounds, Kessler prevailed via a unanimous decision.[4] After the loss, Froch's next fight would be against rugged fighter Arthur Abraham. He regained his WBC Title as he dominated from start to finish to claim a unanimous point victory over Abraham in Helsinki, Finland.[5]
