I actually expected more from Carl Froch. His defense was non existent, and for the majority of the first 6 rounds, he was unwilling to pull the trigger. He kept getting countered because his offense was so predictable, some punches being telegraphed, but he did rally and score a dramatic knockout. Props, but he isn't the real deal.
Havent changed with regards skills/talent, with regards toughness and heart they have increased ten fold.
