I didn't score it but thought the 116-112 scorecard was about right. Froch just outworked Johnson and fired back immediately with combinations nearly every time Johnson landed a good shot. I also thought the Sky commentators got a bit too excited whenever Johnson landed a big right hand, there was a few occasions where they reacted as if Froch was badly hurt by the punches when he was able to fire back straight away and didn't really show any signs that the punches had hurt him much.

Johnson made it tough, but I thought Froch was a clear winner.
