Froch's rocky road to recognition 8:41pm on 16 Oct 2009 And...(sorry I hit send too early)...scorecards mean nothing if you don't get to them. Froch knocking Taylor out made sure of that.
Froch's rocky road to recognition 8:38pm on 16 Oct 2009 CheckHook - You say Froch didn't have a chance of beating him until Taylor ran out of steam as if those two things weren't connected.

Taylor tired because, no matter how many times he punched Froch in the face, Froch just kept coming.

So, really, the only reason Froch won was because he made Taylor run out of steam in the last 14 seconds.
Froch's rocky road to recognition 8:07pm on 16 Oct 2009 For me, the Froch Taylor fight was one of, if not the most exciting fight I've seen this year - despite having to watch it on a terrible quality, laggy, tiny screen on my laptop. It was like something out of Rocky at the end : ).

I wish him the best of luck against Dirrell and through the rest of the competition - I'd much rather watch him fight than more 'technical' fighters like the Klitschkos.
Khan and Roach on the right road 1:24pm on 15 Mar 2009 The cut really did ruin it. Khan did look a better fighter, his guard was virtually glued to his head and he seemed a lot more composed. At the end MAB said he couldn't even feel Khan's punches (of course, he would), I didn't really see him that affected by anything Khan hit him with though. I wonder how it would have played out without the cut. I'm guessing a Khan win on points for his sheer industry, then people putting it down to Barrera's age rather than the cut.
Khan and Roach on the right road 1:11pm on 15 Mar 2009 Ah ha. Thanks James_Toneys_gut.
Khan and Roach on the right road 1:06pm on 15 Mar 2009 Ben - picking up on the gold medal thing, it did make me laugh when they announced MAB's long list of achievements - and what a list - then they start Khan's with he recently won the Olympic...silver. Not knocking his achievement, it just sounded a little, well, insignificant after MABs long list of World titles.

Also, was the Maccarinelli fight a TKO? If he got knocked out why is it a TKO and not a KO?
