Wow! that's amazing I find this thread moments after just watching the 1st round on youtube. I thought taylor nicked the early rounds honestly when i saw the fight. But the bias announcers made froch like he was getting his ass handed to him. truth is, froch's steady pressure and heavy quality shots is what wore taylor down. There was no lucky win and press row had taylor barely up at the time of stoppage. Froch dug deep and wanted to win, moreso than taylor. That's a rare quality for a champion who is already champ. Carl seems to have that same quality that made calzaghe great. The inate fear of losing. I also think that joe's slagging of froch has made him the fighter he is today.
