if taylor fancies a rematch should be in england, but doubt taylor would want one
don't know what fight you were watchinig, Froch didn't start getting remotely close to winning a round until at least the 8th, on my card he didn't win a round until the 9th, and honestly by then i was saying it over and over again Taylor looked gassed, i had Taylor winning the first 8 rnds plus the knockdown, so if Taylor would have made it out of the 12th round he still would have won 115-111

Well clearly Froch WAS doing some work in those early rounds otherwise Jermain would collapse in every fight at the end right?
Froch was clearly having an impact on Jermain starting with round 6 which is a couple rounds earlier than B Hop started to work in his first fight with Jermain.
From round 6 onwards Jermain was clearly affected and from round 8 it was mostly Carl Froch with the exception of a couple of explosive bursts from Taylor.
Taylor certainly sweeped the first 5 with a 10-8 round but I imagine Froch might have well have been nervous, huge step up in class, in hostile territory against one of the superstars of boxing.
He overcame the worst possible start and worked his way back into the fight before ending it clinically in the final round.
As they always say the true test of a champion is how they cope with adversity and Froch copes pretty well. Even the great Kessler wilted when he stepped up in class and fought Calzaghe on foreign soil and Calzaghe himself got floored by both Hopkins and Jones (despite their advanced years) when he went to the US and fought the two best opponents of his career.
