I'm not much of a Froch fan, probably more of a Taylor fan, but I felt Froch was always too much for him. Even almost a year ago when this thread was made, this fight just screamed Bute-Andrade (without the crooked ref) or Margarito-Cotto, where the more technical boxer gives his all until the final rounds and then the loses the plot completely. It's a shame to see Jermain go out like this, but congrats to Froch. Excellent fight.
good call, I just saw Taylor winning the decision from the get go. Without trying to sound dramatic, this is the most disgusted ive been to see a fighter lose and in the way it happened. I don't know how I could ever watch the fight again, unless I became a froch fan. He earned respect tonight, but like another poster said, it was more a case of Taylor losing this fight than Froch winning. He did great tho.
lol he got him once! ah man im gutted, absolutley with what happened. taylor just shut down after 6 rounds tho...terrible. congrats to you and froch fans who picked the winner.

Jermain won't hurt Carl. I predict a Froch KO.
Froch is f'king dangerous! Trust me!

I've watched some Froch fights and I found him an entertaining fighter; I like his style and his manner of slipping in disguised uppercuts. But how he reacts to someone of Taylor's quality is a complete unknown.
At the end of every Froch fight I can't say if he is really good or not. I just want this shit to happen so I know.
He knocked out Brian Magee with a sweet uppercut in the eleventh round, so it shows he carries world class power late. It was a world class punch.
pretty much the only reasonable answer on this fight.

You been a little harsh on Kessler in the past, but I want to know who you think would win, if Mikkel Kessler fought Carl Froch ?:boxing:
Kessler would demolish Froach in like 8. How have i been harsh on Kessler? He is a very good fighter and i like him, but i just got irratated when people said that he is better than a prime Hopkins. He may be the next man at super middleweight after Calzaghe leaves as well.
You haven't been very kind to Dawson.:rolleyes:
I know Jermaine Taylor is a good fighter. I don't know how good Froch is. Except in boxing circles he is highly touted and he has more skills than he shows as a world championships amateur silver medalist.
Yes exactly. At least Di Bella was honest about it.
People ask who Froch has fought on one hand. But then say he isnt big enough to fight the likes of Taylor on the other.
Its a common double standard.
Exactly.
Morons.

Some of you guys are too quick to jump the gun. Carl Froch has had 23 fights in total. He is still coming up. It's very easy to dismiss him and say "duh... but he only fought Euro bums" yet seemingly you fail to acknowledge that it isn't so easy to get a shot at the big names without doing exactly what Carl is doing right now. Do any of you honestly think he has a lack of desire to prove himself against world-class competition? Do you really think he's happy fighting these so-called "Euro bums" and he has already achieved his life's goal?
Any fighter or fan who takes Froch lightly is a fool, and most likely a fool who is merely basing their immature nationalistic, caveman-esque bias on the fact that Carl is not from their country of birth, so hey, he must be crap, right? Rid your mind of nationalism for a second and realize that a good fighter is a good fighter, it doesn't matter where he is from. As boxing fans, I am surprised so many of you fail to recognize great potential. Carl Froch is probably far better than you realize, it's just a matter of time before he proves it.
Bottom line: Give the guy a chance. Nationalism is transparent, and posting biased opinions on a message board does nothing to change anyone's opinion who already disagrees with you. What it actually does is make you look like a moron.

The Lou Dibella saga around these fights and fighters recently pretty much proves that IMO.

Yeah, i swear Froach really does remind me of Vic Darchinayin.

If he does, Jermain Taylor will PUNISH Froch.
Froch has NO defense whatsoever. Even if Taylor didn't use his jab, he could still beat him, easily. Taylor has some good pop in his punches, great handspeed, good combinations that Froch would run into all night.
Yeah, i swear Froach really does remind me of Vic Darchinayin but a little less akward.
Who has Froach beaten to be placed in the top 6 at super middleweight? It seems like they are just putting random guys in there these days. There is no gurantee that he will get past Jean Pascall.
who has Andre Berto beaten ?
he has not fought a top 10 WW and he is World Champion

True, but he's a broken man now. He's the new Jeff Lacy. Froch isn't a great fighter, but he deserves a fight with Taylor and I believe he'll knock Taylor out. Unfortunately for Froch, he'd get schooled by Kessler or knocked out by Pavlik if he ever fought either of them.
How is he broke? He was even more technically sound in his rematch with Pavlik then he had been in his entire career. He has consistant lateral movement, kept use of the jab, kept his hands up in the right place and didn't get hurt one time throughout the entire fight. He will defintitely be one of the best super middleweights out there. I'm willing to put most of my points on Jermain Taylor if this fight ever happens.
froch sucks. he's like a poor man's joe calzaghe
More like a poor man's Vic Darchinayin.
