Why do people keep saying that Taylor 'gave away' the win?

It's not like he decided to stop trying or thought it would be a great idea to get knocked out.

He lost because Froch literally beat eeverything he had out of him. He gave 110% there was nothing more Taylor could have done. He simply couldn't last the distance with Carl tonight, no shame in that and he didn't quit or give up.

It was a brilliant win by Carl Froch, Taylor couldn't have done any more, he gave everything he had which is why he couldn't stand up at the end.
