    Anti climactic to say the least. Showtime called it a millions times better.

      Froch can improve a hell of a lot whereas Taylor can't.

      In a re-match (on home soil) I'd pick Froch to win by KO far earlier.
      C'mon, really? Taylor was razor sharp most of the fight? He pulled a Hopkins and took the last 5 rounds off because he was gassed. He couldn't have been throwing more than 20 punches a round in 8-12.

      And Carl won the only way he could've won - KO.

      You're right about one thing - Carl can improve a lot more than Taylor.

        The British ones were much better
        What was wrong with showing some excitement for a come behind victory?

          Rawling was terrible; he hardly said anything. I loved Showtimes call of the last round because you could sense how massive of a comeback it was.

                The only time ive enjoyed John Rawlings commentary was when Amir Khan nearly got rail roaded by Willie Limond ......apart from that he is terrible.
