Lot of hate for Froch

[BoomBoom]

This was the first time ive seen a whole fight of his. I have nothing but respect for the guy. He came overseas to fight the favored and more popular guy, and pulled it out. Im not particularly impressed with his boxing ability. I think hes slow and predictable at times, but he makes up for it with heart, determintion, and a great chin. I think he should have made a few new fans last night. Fights like this are good for boxing. Would love to see him in with Bute or Green.

As for Taylor, I like him but he hasnt learned from his mistakes. Just like the Pavlik fight, he has his man in trouble early, lets him off the hook, and goes into survival mode late. I think Froch and Pavlik are tougher mentally that is the difference. Sucessful champions perform in the championship rounds. If Taylor had Frochs determination, hed probably be undefeated right now.

Froch impressed me last night. He really poured it on in the end and showed the heart of a champion.

His style is kinda awkward and strange, but he came back from a terrible start and left with the belt he arrived with. This will be a great learning experience for him and by even taking on Taylor, shows he has great confidence.

I knew it was going to become a close fight last night when Taylor stopped throwing his right hand. I still think he hurt it in the early rounds somewhere as he totally abandoned it after having a ton of success with it.

Froch's big concern will be fighting someone with a lot of pop in their punch. Other than that his stamina alone will keep his competitive with the top guys over 12 rounds.

Froch is at least chasing after big fights at 168, which is more than what you can say about the other belt holders right now.

Look at the two at the end of the 12th how did you get ducked up with your opponet on his back if that red was there last night for taylor he would have won too mid as well fight margarito style for as fair as that fight was

[ledsham]

i agree bute almost got koed at the end but he won almost every round before that.and like i said taylor was ahead but froch steped it up when he needed too.and i say kessler would ko him and froch.

People really have to look at Andrade closly!
He is tough ,fit and can punch but has anyone noticed his footwork is almost non existent .
Kessler boxed rings round him all night and Bute was effectivly shutting him out before getting chinned , Andrade is not a great fighter he is limited very limited and didn't shine for me at all against Kessler , being tough and game is one thing but that dont win you fights .

Froch - Andrade ? I'll back Froch to have the power and variation and instinct , he seems to find the answers and while alot of you will compare Andrade - Bute to last nights fight I'm still going with Froch .

Don't be too hard on Andrade...he and Froch have a lot in common. Andrade actually has the iron chin people claim Froch has. At least Andrade keeps his hands up. They are both flawed fighters with more heart and hunger than boxing skill. Most of us just like Andrade better because he's not running around claiming to be the next great champion and super star. I like Froch more than I did before, but IMHO, he's Librado Andrade with a better jab and a worse chin. It would make for interesting fight.

I guess I have a whole lot of crow to eat here. I didnt think there was any way Froch would win and was genuinely shocked when he was the winner last night. I thought NO WAY but obviously I was ong. Knew it was possible, really didn't expect it. Will watch soon.

[BoxingGorilla]

I thought Taylor was going to win with ease right up until he asked his corner what round it was. At that point I started feeling sick, like I'd ate something rotten.

Congrats to Froch. Still, Jermaine was tuckered out. Froch's 12th round KO reminded me of Briggs and Lyakhovich, only less lucky.

[BoxingGorilla]

Also, I do not think either fighter should consider a rematch. Jermain would do worse if he fought in Britain and Froch doesn't have time to waste doing what he has already done.

[ledsham]

andrade please kessler is the man to f**k with its a shame leagel shit will keep him from takeing over after joe.

[BIG H]

I'm not a bif Froch believer, never have been, but one thing I will say is that this was the best version of Jermain Taylor that I have seen. He actually almost had some bad intentions in there for once.
