Spud what utter shite you talk sometimes

Of course Taylor deserves a rematch - he would have won the fight if he had survived the last round.

Fair play to Froch for pulling it out of the fire but lets not go overboard here, Kessler would kick Froch's arse and dont get me started on what Calzaghe would have done to Carl.

Re-match in Nottingham has to be the call for me.

Then give Froch a couple of easier fights to try and iron out the glaring weaknesses he has - he will taste the canvas a lot more now mark my words.

Bute and Kessler are better

[dtjenkins]

Totally outclassed but what a finish by Froch! Glad he won and I do like the fact he'll fight anyone. But he won't stand a chance against Kessler!

[Autobarn]

Reading a lot of the articles in America - Taylor is bleating he wants a rematch - Froch should tell him to f*ck right off.

I am stunned Froch had to get off the canvas in the 3rd!!!

Bloody brilliant win.

Had taylor won, Froch would not have got a rematch

I can see rematches with Taylor AND Pascal, provided each brings something new to the table. Like Pascal beating WBC light heavy champ Diaconu.

I reckon Taylor rematch IF they'll go to Notts.

Why not give Froch credit for stopping a Taylor who was boxing brilliantly? 2 judges only had Taylor 4 up, press row had it a split draw going into last round, only 1 point in it either way.

Bute and Kessler don't have movement or speed or angles like Taylor. While they are classy fighters, and dangerous, their styles may be more suited to Froch. Froch probably beat the worst style (for him), away from home. Hard cicumstances, yet he still gets the win.

Bute better? Have you seen Bute v Andrade? That was a poor man's Froch v Taylor and Bute was the Taylor.

Froch has some flaws but they will be magnified when you take a fight in hard circumstances.

[Scrap]

Got to say He showed some Bottle, well done Carl Froch.

[Syntax Error]

I wish more fighters were like Froch.

Froch proves that if you are going to gob off in boxing, you better deliever in the ring.

I have the utmost respect for him & fighters of that ilk.

[Autobarn]

Surely a fight at home, before a big crowd is in order for the next fight. There is that ITV deal to think of. And money to make.

Does Taylor REALLY want a rematch? Taylor at last chance saloon, should come to the UK for the fight.

But I have a feeling fights with Bute and Kessler would be better.

2 sensational fights in a row now. Froch is delivering.

B*llocks!!!

Its your post which is sh*te!!! - don't come on here slagging me off when you could write your knowledge on a postage stamp!!!

Froch fulfilled his mandatory obligations - just remember Taylor made it perfectly clear he did not and would not come to Nottingham - I disagreed with Froch going to America in the first place but nonetheless he called Taylors bluff and whooped him albeit in the last round!!! - why the f*ck should Froch give Taylor a rematch when its a mandatory fight and the challenger was trying to call all the shots and came unstuck!!!

Froch and Hennessy should freeze Taylor out of the equation!!!

Now Mr Wrists - f*ck off and come back when you are ready to take me on!!!

[Autobarn]

There was a lot of hassle making this fight.

Move on to Bute, then Kessler.

Bute has proven to be stoppable!

Wait for Taylor to bring something extra to the plate.

Hennessy said a rematch "doesn't make sense". I don't think rematch happens as it's a hard fight and Froch has just beaten the bugger

Got to say, fighters like Froch and Haye make it worthwhile being a fan.

[Spud]

Froch should leave Kessler well alone for now!!!

Always have seriously rated Kessler and for me he is the NO1 Super Middle at the moment - Froch deserves to earn some decent dough - Hennessy should be clever in matching Froch - he is entitled to a couple of voluntary defences - in addtion Hennessy should also think of his promotional company - he could have a couple of decent shows on the back of Froch and other fighters could come knocking - Hennessy should use this opportnity to "kill 2 birds with one stone" whilst its there.

Spot on pal. Great post

Ya gonna get a lot of people saying Tyalor deserves a reamtch but thats only based on his performance. His attitude and that of his handlers in the build up was nothing short of selfish.

Froch, in only his 25th fight has gone to America and ruined one of their top guys. Your a credit to British Boxing Carl. An absolute credit. Well done mate.

B*llocks!!!

Froch you legend.

[Autobarn]

What's the mandatory situation - are the WBC making him fight another mandatory or is there room to fit something else in?

IMO Froch should fight a Green or Bika, at home. Then make the big fights ASAP. Bute first, then Kessler.

Got to say, Froch v Pascal and Taylor are 2 of the best super middle fights I've ever seen. Can't complain that we're not getting exciting, competitive fights, can we?

[comeback]

You should probably change the title as some people may want to avoid the result until the ITV show

When and what ITV station is this on?

[funso banjo baby]

bring on Miranda and green.

theres no way Calzaghe can hide in retirement for long

[Autobarn]

the top 10 wbc challengers are:

1. Jermain Taylor (US)
2. Andre Ward (US) NABF
3. Andre Dirrell (US)
4. Jean Pascal (Haiti/Canada)
5. Karo Murat (Germany) EBU
6. Anthony Mundine (Australia)
7. Edison Miranda (Colombia)
8. Robert Stieglitz (Germany) INTL
9. Sakio Bika (Cameroon)

so im taking it Froch can fight anyone in his next fight?

Ward (#2) v Miranda (#7) winner, then I reckon.

I'd try and make Froch v Mundine, two loud and brash personalities, England v Australia(although I'd suspect a lot of Aussies would be cheering on Froch), prime time UK it'd be a treat.

be another fast counter puncher, of Taylor's ability (if not accomplishments). Sounds like hard work for not that much gain, IMO.

Froch takes too many shots but has a fantastic chin.

GReat away win.

[jim wright1]

That was one hellova cool finish. The clock was ticking down put Carl put Taylor on queer street and just took his time and broke him down - cobra like .

Very, very impressive finish

hhahah yeah

ooooh......oooohhhhhh.....ohhhhhhhh.......this is big......oooh......ohhhh....you're weak Taylor.....he got done by two white boys......uhhhhhhh....uuhhhhhhhh...ooohhhhhh

[Spud]

What's the mandatory situation - are the WBC making him fight another mandatory or is there room to fit something else in?

Dont know what the exact ruling is - but normally after a champion has fulfilled his mandatory requirements in this cas Froch has - he then has so many months before his next one is due - in this time he can have voluntary defences.

[CheckHook]

I predicted a close win for Taylor, first thing I saw when I logged on to boxrec was Froch's name at in the #1 division rankings.... sometimes its good to be wrong. Nice one Carl.

[neil hibbert]

in tenerife at the min so cant wait 2 see it

[bigscott20]

all credit to the cobra for pulling it out the bag eh but i thought he was outboxed.taylor seems 2 crumble in the champioship rounds eh
