Carl Froch Rescues Title from the Jaws of Defeat

[Alem721]

call it a day JT!!!

JT is done!!! he doesnt have the desire to finish a fiighter!! JT belly got to big when he beat hopkins and doesnt have it anymore! its a shame a fighter with that much talent lost the desire! no killer instinct in this biz that's essential!

[Zn00p]

Better get Jackson (the racist) as his new trainer... hahaha
JT retire already...
It was a political move, a business decision of the judges that awarded you those two wins vs B-Hop... the top honchos of boxing thought JT will be the next big thing in MW and SMW if they gave the fight to JT instead of the aging B-Hop... but then they were proven wrong by JT...
Taylor, stop hurting yourself and retire... you aint nothin' left...

Hey, Jackson... there are no more black boxers that are good out there from FW to HW... maybe after those Mexicans, Asians and Russians retire... maybe somebody will come out... maybe the only good black fighter out there is retired and trying to comeback vs a Mexican...

8 rounds to 3 Taylor at the time of the stoppage? Are you sure you're not related to Dan Rafael?

[STEELHEAD]

i'm glad he won but froch fought a dumbass fight like he did against pascal and is just lucky jermain got a case of food poisoning. atleast thats what it looked like when taylor folded.

good win for froch... taylor is the new judah

This is an awful article.. extremely biased.. It's pretty obvious who the writer wanted to win.. good thing he is a complete moron who doesn't understand the concept of FINDING A WAY TO win.. which Froch has done every single time..

T.K. you should be ashamed of yourself

Are you aware that TK Stewart predicted Froch would win???:

From the first time this fight was mentioned as a possibility I maintained that Carl Froch would prove victorious over Jermain Taylor - and nothing has changed my mind since. Froch has an eclectic and quirky style and he fights with a lot of imagination. Styles do indeed make fights and Froch has the style as well as the confidence in himself to keep Taylor off his game. Froch will win a wide, unanimous decision

Froch was outclassed for the first two thirds of the fight. He seriously needs to learn how to get his hands up quickly after throwing punches, and when moving out of range; he said in interviews leading up to the fight that he had been working on that, but he doesn't seem to have improved in that department at all. He showed tremendous heart, did manage to gradually ramp up the pressure on Taylor as the rounds went on, and did indeed find a way to win, but he relied on Taylor's lack of stamina and inability to tie up opponents when tired in order to do so. Kessler would destroy Froch.

[Dave Rado]

Great fight, which went much as I had anticipated, in that I had always thought it was a pick 'em fight, and that Froch would be outboxed but would pressure Taylor and tire him out in the late rounds, and hope for a late knock-out.

Props to both fighters - Taylor for putting on a master-class for the first few rounds, Froch for his heart, determination and chin. But both fighters were very flawed, Froch's defence hasn't improved nearly as much I had expected it to, if at all; and Taylor's stamina and inability to tie opponents up or get on his bicycle when tired seems to be a permanent flaw that he will never be able to erase.

Bunch of sore and bitter loosers

give froch the credit he deserves please...this is a joke....froch had too much power for Jermain.........

1st it was froch doesn't have power couldn't |KO pascal......Pascal is more of a figher than JT will ever be..what an overrated bum

Taylor just isn't the fighter you state side fans expected him to be...expectations for him were too high...and he never really developed into the fighter that many thought he would...that's not to say that he wasn't good...but there was a lot missing...

first that was exploited by pavlik, now the Cobra........the Cobra strike far harder than the ghost
