Rob McCracken: 'Tactics were spot on'

Rob McCracken has praised his fighter Carl Froch for executing their tactics perfectly in the rematch with WBA light heavyweight champion Mikkel Kessler.

The 35-year-old lost to the Dane in Herning three years ago, but exacted revenge when they went head to head at the O2 Arena.

"Kessler is a top, top fighter, but Carl and myself got the tactics right and that got him through," McCracken told Sky Sports News.

"Carl has an excellent jab, behind that he's a match for anybody. He's an old-school fighter and he likes to get in there. He's an entertainer and that's why so many turned up. He showed a bit of everything tonight."

Froch now holds the IBF and WBA titles.
