Quotes from Carl Froch

If Jermain Taylor was a bit fitter and he had a bit more steam in the tank towards the end, he might have survived and won on points, but he didn't have any energy left in the tank, because I sapped it out of him. I absolutely punched holes in him for the last three rounds.

It's questionable whether I believe in God or Jesus but I do believe in a spiritual world and some kind of afterlife.
