    I don't know about the official judges, but I think I had him up by 2 or 3 going to the 12. What you guys think?

    It was a 106-102 on two cards for Taylor. With the knockdown in the last, Taylor would have finished two points ahead if he had seen it out.

    I didn't score it but my impression was that Taylor was a round or two up.

    Froch was down by 4 points on 2 judges cards, and up by 4 on another.

    Therefore if it was a 10-8 last round, he would of dropped SD, scores being 114-112 all round, 2 against him, 1 for. If it was a 10-7 round, he would of lost by a single point on 2 cards. He definately needed a knockout.

    If the 12th round had finished, Froch would have been ahead by 6 rounds on one judges card. It would have been 116-110 to Froch on his card. That would have been ridiculous.

    Taylor 2 points up going in to the last round on my card.
    Officially if Taylor had taken a knee after the first knockdown and survived the round. Making it a 10-7 round for Froch. Taylor would have won a split decision.
    I think that shows great heart that he stayed up. But also that he was so hurt he wasn't thinking.
    The Judge that was scoring the fight for Froch was way off but the judges that scored the fight for Taylor could definatly make an argumeant for having taylor 4 up due to some of the close rounds.

    I had Taylor up by two points. I though Froch neede the KO or a few KD's to win it.
