It was a typical Froch performance in that he didn't make things easy for himself and did start very slow. Taylor looked very good early on and had an impressive jab, counters and hand speed.
The longer the fight went on the closer Carl got to Taylor and the pressure resulted in that superb 12th round stoppage.

Credit to the referee Ortega - the timing of the stoppage was perfect - Taylor had nothing left.

Fantastic achievement by Carl to goto the US in his 1st defence and defeat a truly World class opponent - a man who defeated Bernard Hopkins twice.

Hopefully Carl has a homecoming fight next in Nottingham and then can get a fight with Lucian Bute.
