My take on Froch - Taylor...

[ElTerribleMorales]

I suppose if youve never seen guys like froch/calzaghe fight you can be misleaded into thinking that they lose rounds because they dont neccesarily throw the heaviest punches.

But for much of the fight and even rounds that carl lost he was the one on the front foot as opposed to taylor who was fighting in spurts.

There was at least 2/3 rounds that you either would of had to score from frochs all round dominance or taylors power punching....its tough to call

Yeh, very hard rounds to score, but I had Taylor probably 2 points up going into the last, so it was very close imo. Doesn't really matter now, coz Froch did the business in the end.

too true

hope froch gets the credit for this though

he knocked out a far stronger, faster opponent through intelligence, a cool head and sheer determination!!

i give Froch full credit like i said in the other thread, i just would like to see a rematch

Why? to see the exact same thing happen again ? Taylor cant take such pressure, he executed his perfect game plan and it didnt work. He doesnt have the stamina to beat Carl Froch. Taylor is through the more and more I think about it.

don't get ahead of yourself, it was a good win for Froch but he had NO ANSWER WHAT SO EVER for Taylor's jab, once Taylor stopped using the jab is when Froch was finally able to do anything, and Taylor pretty much broke the myth of Froch's granite chin, he has a very good chin but it's hardly granite, or iron, or even cement lol, Penalosa has a granite chin

I think Taylor earnt a rematch but whether Froch takes it or not is debatable, especially when he has the opportunity to call out the other belt holders at SMW.

agree with you there, and Froch earned the right (especially taking his age into consideration) to try and get the most money available to him, but down the line i think Taylor should get his rematch

Froch, what a chin!

Taylor always starts in fantastic fashion. I would have had it for Froch, one point, had it gone to a decision. Those cards were wrong, but it's a good thing Froch is great enough to beat the judges and make his own ending of the fight.

Jermain was in one of the best shapes I've seen him. In the Pavlik fight, you could see he wasn't in the right frame of mind, that knockout was from his lack of focus outside and inside the ring.

BUT this knockout! Jermain took SO MANY RIGHT HANDS!!!! It makes you wonder and really know, how strong Jermain Taylor really is...
... He just ran into a real fighter.

Froch, Hopkins, and Calzaghe... the only real fighters in around this division. Kelly ... I actually thought he lost or at least had a draw with Taylor in the second fight.

Froch is just the real deal.
