    Going to one knee isn't a "b*tch" move. WTF is the matter with some of you? Was Evander Holyfield a b*tch against Rid**** Bowe that first fight?

    Anyway, I'm just glad Froch won as well.

      2 judges had it 106-102 for Taylor and the third had it............ drumroll please.....

      106-102............ For Froch!!! What fight was this guy watching????

          I stopped scoring after a while because I thought Taylor was comfortably ahead. But I can't remember him winning much of anything past round 6, to be honest--maybe round five. Anyway, the ending was just,a nd saved us a whole lot of crap.

              I agree. He's only 30 years old though, that's the bright side of things. Plus he's most likely getting a rematch.

                what will a rematch do for taylor?
                he gotta work on his stamina issue instead of spanking the monkey 2 much, its always the same story..he runs outta gas past the 7th rd. is the guy never doing any cardio training or what?

                  Taking a knee may have won him the fight, but it would have lost him a lot of respect from fans.

                  He may not have done the smart thing by being valiant about it, but he did what a fighter is expected to do and should get a lot of credit for not taking the easy way out. Even if he'd have won, he'd have looked like a ***** in doing so.

                  I'm a big Taylor fan, and would've lost a lot of respect for him had he taken the knee and won 113-112, 113-112, 116-109.
