If ever a fight went exactly how I expected it was this one. I didn't think it would take so long but it played out in exactly the way I thought. It was almost exactly like Pavlik-Taylor I.
It looked how I thought it would look too, although I didn't expect Taylor's jab to be so dominant...that's the best Taylor has looked since Hopkins! ****ing last round. I actually shut my eyes and just listened to the commentary. Never done THAT before.
A thread worthy of a giant orange font. This was a great win for Froch and I hope the repeat on ITV gets a lot of viewers, for the sake of British boxing.
you too: Froch was a gonner, I doubt there is anyone who can genuinely say they expected him to do that at the end. not picking at people... I'm just shocked... need to watch it with a rational head though.
I didn't watch the fight, I listened on the wireless. Will watch the ITV replay tonight but I posted this yesterday: http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3881677&postcount=18 Obviously, I didn't think it was going to be so dramatic a finish but I could see it going the way it did.
Yeah Froch was done for, he had a boxing lesson for the first 6 rounds. All Taylor had to do was stay on his feet. But you have to give the champion credit, 12 rounds and he did the business.
Froch proved what a Warrior he is tonight....and he certainly has gone up in my estimation.... However he really needs to change/adapt his style and especially his defense...which currently consists of blocking punches with his Chin!
great win for froch...:happy must say watched it online thru my tv and the quality of the stream was superb...:good
