    What a great moment.

    The heart Froch had to show in that fight was outstanding.

    He had to walk through bombs throughout the fight aswell and some people are critical of his chin? WTF?!?!

    Amazing.

    I was asleep. Got up early in the morning to download and watch. And even though it wasn't live, I've never had that buzz watching a fight at 9am in the morning like that before! The last few rounds were incredible and I actually think I was stood up to watch the 12th. Great stuff from Froch.

    If JT took a knee in the last 10 seconds he would have won the fight.

    Watched it the morning after before checking the result.

    Shocked at JT's lack of heart and ring smarts. He boxed Froch's ears off for most of that fight and all he had to do was take a knee and he probably would have won.

    Probably one of my favourite moments of boxing i could watch it over and over again and still get excited. Its amazing how casual he was in that last round just stalking picking his shots very impressive

    Lack of heart? The guy stood there and took some massive shots. Yes his ring smarts and stamina can be criticised but certainly not his heart.

    Watched it in bed on a stream. The stream died with about a minute and a half to go of the last round. Brill.

    Yea on the laptop pissed up and scaring the **** outta the recently woken Mrs, making so much noise she thought we were being burgled.

    Thing I forget is just how close the end of the fight and therefore a loss for Froch it was. Such a great last round, lots of little quips from the commentary team, great action the long knockdown then "Froch...punches in bunches... and its over!" Man Froch deserves a **** load of money for the entertainment hes provided

    With my brother watching it the next morning at about 7 with a coffee. Managed to stay away from the result. When Froch starts to look better in last 4 rounds we just kept saying its good but he's done it too late. Then was just screaming at the tele from no less than a couple cm away. When he did it we both just looked at each other and went mental. One of my favourite boxing moments ever still sends a chill down me when I watch it.

    Had to listen to that on the radio. It was amazing, the bloke on 5 Live couldn't hardly get his words out towards the end. It seemed to take ages for him to say it was stopped - "and.......... the referee.......... has............. stopped.......... the fight" ****ing agonising it was!

    Beforehand I was really pissed off that I couldn't watch it on telly, but looking back I wouldn't have it any other way. The drama and tension was just unreal. Definitely one of my favourite boxing moments.

    Went back to bed afterwards, but my mind was racing like **** so there was no way i was going to get any sleep.
