Showtime has confirmed this fight on its books for sometime in April. The fight will take place in the USA. What are your thoughts? http://www.fightnews.com/?p=3830
Taylor Close decision.... He's too fast for Slow Froch. Froch has good chin but no defence (or I should say: a defence of blocking shots with his Chin in the air) and is relitively slow..... Froch only chance for a win is to hurt Taylor and make it count.... Taylor is straight forward and backward guy.... not very good lateral movement.... So Froch might hurt him with a few big shots ala Pavlik..... But I don't think Froch could do that, he didn't do it against Pascal
How come its titled Jermaine Taylor vs Carl Froch. Thought Carl was the champ. Anyway Taylor is faster more superior skills good feet. Froch hits hard is not discouraged comes forward for 12 hard rounds. If Taylor fights anything like he did against Ouma or Spinks he gets beat real bad, if he fights like he did against Hopkins he wins. My prediction Froch ko around 9.
Jermain taylor by Wide UD Taylor has a great jab, and the way he uses is effective, by backing froch against the ropes then coming in with a big punch with his otherhand. Froch put a brilliant battle against pascal who in my opinion isnt world class and niether is froch and altho the fight was exciting froch didnt impress me. he got hit way too many times and i thought the decision was closer to what it was plus froch was cut round the eye so he may have a granite chin but its no use when he gets cut from a C class fighter. Froch lost to pavlik twice which i dont know how the hell that happened after what bhop did (maybe it was the extra weight or summing slowing pavlik.....i dunno) and lacy managed to floor taylor even after being dismantled by calzaghe. But taylor is a great guy and a brill boxer whilst froch is a twat and a punching bag sooooo Cmon Taylor!
