Carl Froch vs. Jermain Taylor, billed as Continents Collide, was a professional boxing match contested on 25 April 2009, for the WBC super middleweight championship.

[1] The fight was held at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, Connecticut, United States on 25 April 2009.

Froch was coming off a win against Jean Pascal for the vacant WBC title whilst Jermain Taylor had only recently stepped up to super-middleweight and was also coming off a win, beating Jeff Lacy in a title eliminator.

[2][3] During a press conference, reporters asked Taylor what he knew about Froch to which he replied: “Nothing.” He also claimed that whenever he told people who he was getting ready to fight they’d say “Carl who?”.

A barrage of punches by Froch caused the referee to stop the fight with fourteen seconds remaining in Round 12, the final round, giving Froch the win by KO and retention of his WBC super middleweight title.
