Carl Froch, the undefeated WBC super middleweight champion from Nottingham, England, came to America determined to make a lasting impression on U.S. fight fans.

And that, to say the least, he did last Saturday night on a Super Channel presentation of Showtime Championship Boxing when he rallied in the later rounds to register a dramatic, come-from-behind 12th round knockout over the universally known and respected challenger Jermain Taylor.

After getting knocked down for the first time in his career in the third round, Froch entered the twelfth trailing Taylor, a former undisputed middleweight titleholder, by four points on two of the judges’ scorecards.

Froch had three minutes to score a knockout to avoid a split decision loss in only his second professional fight on U.S. soil. To the astonishment of a packed theater at MGM Grand at Foxwoods and surely to everyone watching on Super Channel in Canada, he got it – in emphatic fashion, too.

The determined Brit dropped Taylor with less than one minute remaining in the fight. Taylor beat the count before Froch unleashed a furious barrage of finishing punches, forcing referee Michael Ortega to stop the fight with a mere 14 seconds remaining.

Canadian fight fans will get a second chance to catch this must-see battle when it re-airs on Super Channel 4 and Super Channel HD2 this Thursday, April 30 at 11 p.m. ET.

The bout will long be remembered for Froch’s final-round heroics, a session that became an instant candidate for “Round of the Year’’ and “Comeback of the Year.
