Undefeated WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (25-0, 20 KOs) scored the biggest victory of his career, a come from behind TKO stoppage over former middleweight champion Jermain Taylor (28-3-1, 17 KOs) with 14 seconds left in the twelfth and final round to retain his title on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Arena inside of the MGM Grand at Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Mashantucket, CT. Taylor, who was ahead on two of the three scorecards entering the 12th round, did a superb job of not allowing Froch to land anything on the inside. Taylor had Froch down in the third round from an overhand right, but Froch was able to get up and sustain Taylor’s assault. Taylor was able to effectively counter Froch with his jab and right hand as Froch kept his hands by his waist the entire fight. As the fight wore on, the effective punching by Taylor wore thin as he was tiring out, but the former champion was still able to keep Froch from landing anything flush. The 12th round was a different story as Froch was able to come out and land a big right that put Taylor down on the canvas. Taylor was visibly hurt as Froch came in firing away. The end came as Froch put Taylor up against the ropes and unloaded several shots that Taylor had no answer for which prompted referee Michael Ortega to stop the bout.
