    lets take into account who froch has fought exactly, taylor after dominating a win, andre dirrell and mikkell kessler

    too be honest i dont think froch was meant to do as good as he did against those guys, all of them were fast, accurate, long sharpshooters, abraham is a short guy who rarely throws combo's

      i never had a round by round card, after watching all i remember was the fight was definitely not a whitewash for taylor as some were sayin

        Taylor had won most of the early rounds, and was still able to win a few runds later in the fight with his jab. AA was landing the harder shots throughout the fight.

            Yes Abraham can win by decision.

            Froch is a tough guy with a lot of heart, but he was also staggered by Dirrell.

            With Froch fighting aggressively and with his typically wide open style it's not out of the realm that he gets put down 2 or 3 times and gets back up each time.

            A couple 10-8 rounds for Arthur and winning by decision doesn't seem so farfetched.

              it's weird, if it was someone else you'd say the taylor win didn't mean ****, dude just got stopped in a war of a fight

              taylor was doin good till he started gettin the warnings, and his body punches dissappeared, and then his right hand(which was sending arthur reeling and you could see the sweat jump off the back of his head), then all he had was a jab, a sad one at that

              but if you wanna use triangle theories, froch did much better against dirrell than abraham, much better

                I'm not sure I can gauge what you are saying. Is it that you thought Taylor was ahead against AA?

                No offense, but I don't get it.

                    I think I quite clearly remember that Taylor led 3-1 or 4-0 heading into round 5. After the fourth he won zip.

                      froch shouldn't have won any of those fights on the cards. abraham has fought outside of this tourney and has a few pretty good decision wins on his record and its definitely not like froch is known for racking up points on his opponents
