Did anyone else feel really bad for JT when he was hurt? Maybe its just because its late but dam i felt sorry for him. Great guy, humble sportsman.

I actually wanted froch to win being from the UK but not like that. If it went to points and frock won, would be a happy bunny as taylor doesnt deserve getting knocked out like that!! thats boxing i guess

Well, at the time I was shouting for Froch to take his head off, so I wasn't too sympathetic then.

But after seeing the replay and knowing that Taylor had the fight in the bag if he could have just got through it, well yeah, I do feel sorry for him. He has a history of getting flakey in the championship rounds, but he was so close to making it through to the end. He is a nice guy too like you say.

I can't argue with the refs call though, Taylor was well out of it. But yeah, only a few seconds to go.

I'm with ya. I like Taylor a lot, but I was cheering for Froch. Taylor seems like a great guy, very humble, and as MW champ he was willing to take on anyone. He was very classy in defeat as well.

Britain needed him to win for our boxing really. Our only current champ and out two best and high profile other fighters Hatton and Haye are really up against it for their next fights.

Khan is in a tough make or break fight as well.

Froch is flying the flag for us British.

I still think Taylor is one of the very best in the world and can win a championship belt again.

I think he'd even give Kessler problems, I'm not quite ready to proclaim the Dane the best and unbeatable just yet. Since his loss to Calzaghe he hasn't done a whole lot.

Mundine is fighting his undeated country Daniele Geale next month and a big win for him in that should see him get back in the mix, it's a shame that none of the sportcasters even mentioned Mundine when assessing the division.

I think Mundine can be a handful for anyone.
