I just think the way he was hyped he is expected to take out Taylor early.

I like Froch more after this fight. But I'm not gonna proclaim him the next coming of superman. Because he isn't. What he is is a good fighter with great power. But he would lose against the likes of Kessler.
Hyped by who exactly, himself? The uk media are hardly hyping him not a single station wanted to pay for the rights to have the fight live. The only terrestrial showing is a replay screening on ITV tonight, that's shameful our only current world champ and nobody wanted to televise it, that pretty much shows that there wasn't a great deal of hype in the UK media for him.

In America they hadn't heard of him and I've been watching the previews on Showtime, they wern't hyping Froch at all it was all about the Resurrection of Jermain Taylor.

It annoys me when people claim a fighter is really hyped when in fact what you mean is a couple of people on here might have been saying things about him.

Of course he hypes himself but any decent boxer who wants earn money at the sport does.

He wasn't much hyped at all imo before this fight, but trust me he will be from now on
