My scorecard was 107-100 Taylor into 12th

Agree Dave.

I had it even or Taylor 1 up, I couldn't decide the 4th (I think). 106-102 for either guy was too great.

 

I had it even after eleven

Can't understand Froch 106-102

Taylor 106-102 I can understand, it was in the States and after scoring a KD, the illusion that you are on top in the fight seems to persist for a few rounds in peoples eyes

I thought Froch won the 4th and most of the rounds after that - but it took the Showtime commentators until about round 8 to actually notice the tide had turned

 

107-100, what the ****? Taylor was 2 or 3 points ahead at the very most.

 

I was amazed at how competitive the fight was when I watched it last night with the in-laws, not massive boxing fans but really like Froch as he has no defence. The radio commentary sounded like Froch was being outclassed and just got lucky.

I didn't keep a tally of scores but think have had Taylor 2 or 3 points up on TV last night.

 

Problem with judges is that they don't give enough even rounds. I thought that there were a few in this fight. I had Taylor two points up going into the last, but could accept anywhere 1-to-3 points. The point was, Froch was dominating the past couple of rounds and you felt that summat could happen.

Hopefully, Froch will get rid of his nerves now. But he always had them bad as an amateur as well. I think he could go into most fights in most arenas without bricking it like that again (btw, proves what a great performance it was - to come roaring back after being so, so scared of the event, even if not the fighter).

 

Interesting about the in-laws and what they thought.

Not quite the same thing, I watched Klitschko- Gomez and PBF- ODLH with people who are a bit 'whatever' about boxing, and they really enjoyed those bouts.
