By T.K. Stewart - MASHANTUCKET, Conn. - WBC Super middleweight titlist Carl “The Cobra” Froch, 167, Nottingham, England, 24-0, 19 KO's made his American championship debut against former undisputed world middleweight champion Jermain “Bad Intentions” Taylor, 166, Little Rock, Arkansas, 28-2-1, 17KO's. In an amazing display of guts and perseverance, Carl Froch rescued his title with 14 seconds left in the twelfth and final round to stop Jermain Taylor in what very well may go down as the comeback of the year - within a fight. Down on two official judges' scorecards, by scores of 106-102, (he was leading 106-102 on the third card) Froch needed a knockout to retain his title and he was finally able to put together a powerful combination of punches to drop Taylor in the final round. In an amazing last round stoppage victory to retain his title, similar to Jake LaMotta vs. Laurent Dauthuille in 1950, Carl Froch held onto the green belt of the WBC title in positively stunning fashion.

You know, it's kind of embarrassing 'cause you know, who is he? Who has he beat? asks a perplexed Taylor. For the uninitiated, Froch (pronounced like Scotch) is the undefeated WBC Super middleweight titlist and on Saturday night in the wilds of the Connecticut wilderness at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods he and Taylor will clash in one of this year's most anticipated bouts.
