He lost the Direll fight no doubt. He was about to lose against a shot to **** Taylor before getting the stoppage 30 sec left on the fight.
Had Taylor survived he would have won
So what? KO's are a part of the game. marciano was behind on points when he knocked out jersey joe walcott... and thats one of the most classic ko's of all time.
Froch was outclassed and people who know boxing saw this coming a mile away. There was maybe 1 close round that entire fight...and that is only because Froch is just tough with a great chin and a lot of grit. Froch's actual skill level is one flush from going down the toilet lol. His footwork is awful, he has no defense, mediocre at best fundamentals and is about as slow as a boxer I have seen in years. He is just determined, tough and strong. As far as all his "great" victories, let's look at them:
1.Pascal (hometown decision)
2.Dirrell (hometown decision and Froch was rocked)
3.Kessler (lost)
4.Taylor (lost 11 out of 12 rounds, was knocked down and won with just 17 seconds left)
5.Johnson (close fight and could have went to Johnson as well)
6.Ward (was outboxed completely)
7.Abraham (solid win)
So there is no dominance and only 1 clear, concise solid win for Froch over great opposition. 2 fights not being in Nottingham and a 17 second difference would give Froch 3 more losses. I would be fine with Froch if it wasn't for his annoying arrogant loud mouth. He thinks he is better than he is, he is tough, will fight anyone and has mad heart, but his "actual skill level" is closer to toughman/barroom brawl level than prizefighter.
The Pascal fight a hometown decision? WHAT???
KO's are a part of boxing, that Taylor was ahead on points is completley irrelevant.
