only saw it on a choppy stream but fight of the year so far no doubt.
went in wanting taylor to win ending up cheering froch on for the ko in the 12th, found a whole lot of respect for froch after that. he's prooved himself some what now.
Hey boxasmash is that Roy Jones in ur avatar?
imo this is EASILY, WELL ahead fight of the year.
I am biased, and still pumped from the fight, my vision is clouded but this was THE FIGHT OF THE YEAR
From a pure popcorn perspective you're probably right.
Everything rested on that 12th and final round.... and it ended just the way you would want it to.... TKO with 14 seconds remaining.
Even though i knew Froch would win i was still nervous until he finally decked Taylor in the 12th round, I was screaming for him to finish taylor off because i knew he might be behind in the fight.
This and the JMM match are nominees for fight of the year.
Froch was in control the entire time, and I actually told my brother that it looked like he was pacing himself for a late-round KO. As much as Id like to see Calzaghe fight again I think Froch may be too much for him.

Just like you said greatjoe. Froch crept in, from round 9 on, didn't think Taylor would make it - started pacing up and down my room, watching the seconds, hoping he'd make it to the end. Disgusted to see it happen....
I was the opposite to you, I wanted Froch to win so was hoping something would happen, but usually nothing never does, but as boxing is what it is, damn. It happened, and I missed the ref stopping the fight because I was jumping around too much, had to see the replay lol
Going in to the 12th I was all "C'mon Frochy lad!!"
When he had Taylor hurt I was shouting for the knockdown!!!
"GET IN!" woke half the house up!!
Great finish to a exciting fight!
Froch really showed his warriors heart tonight, the 'ard bastard.
Heart of an absolute LION.
A TRUE Blood & Guts Warrior!
I have to admit.
Before the fight I picked Jermain UD.
After the first 3 rounds, I said, this is easy, he will stop Froch, he's just biding his time and not going all out like the Pavlik fight where he tired.
Then, Froch started creaping in, I though hummmm.
Then start of the twelfth, I had my head in my hands hoping Froch would knock him down.
As soon as everything started kicking off then I was running up and down my room.
I actually have an injury aswell, I hurt my thumb, don't know how caus I was pumped, kills now though

Same here I had to bite my hand.
Would usually shout the roof off, buy my 3yr old nephew is staying so didn't want to wake him up.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE WATCHING THAT LIVE, IF I HAD WATCHED THAT ON DELAY TOMORROW IT WOULDNT HAVE BEEN THE SAME.
WELL WORTH THE £10
So glad I bought the official stream.
It was really really good. I was well impressed.
aint no way im getting to sleep tonight, seriously that was too exciting, i was biting a pillow to stop myself waking everyone up
