Rob McCracken says that he and Carl Froch got the tactics right for the rematch with Mikkel Kessler.

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.
