Sorry mate but Taylor wasnt leading on all cards these were the cards going into the last:
judge: Nobuaki Uratani 102-106 | judge: Omar Mintun 102-106 | judge: Jack Woodburn 106-102
So judge Woodburn has Froch winning 106102, if the fight finished I had it a draw with a 10-8 round for Froch, or if Froch had Taylor down again if it didnt stop I had it Froch winning by a point, the fight was very close.
The thing is Woodburn's card was used as example in virtually every boxing publication of what bad scoring. Even Boxing Monthly which loves Froch up admitted it was an aberration. I had Taylor up 8 rounds to 3 going into the final round. If he'd taken a knee after the 1st KD, he'd still have won for me & more importantly 2 of the judges. Froch did start to come into it late.
The point I think Nameless was making is HTH's point that Abraham isn't on Froch's level is kinda laughable, as is saying that Froch was easily winning the fight. Abraham is as good as Froch if not better. Although this tournament will give us our answer.
I, however, don't see that happening and this will be another instance of Abraham beating a previous victim of Pavlik.
The only common opponent they currently share is Edison Miranda. Abraham beat him first.
With a jaw that was broken so nasty it made Malignaggi's face against Cotto look like a slight bruise.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
