    Good fight. Does it say anything about who Allan Green is fighting on the cofeature?

    Don't be surprised if Green steals the show.

    Taylor boxes to a decision. I don't expect fireworks.

    Maybe Emmet Linton will give his shoes back to him so he can stop staring at his ****ing feet.

    In boxing it's very important where you position your feet and on that night, Green was extra sensitive and self conscious because he knew that he wasn't healthy enough to perform at 100%, so that's why he kept looking down at his feet to make sure his feet was in the right position.

    There's a certain way to position your feet and it's very important.

    Loving what Ozell Nelson has to say about Froch, "We'll be aggressive and dominate. We want to go at Froch."
    Big Mistake, Froch will ****ing love that and Knock him out!

    Taylor and his trainer are both saying JT is going to go right at him in a very aggressive manner. That my friend is a red herring, guaran-****ing-teed:yep

    Remember what they said before the Pavlik rematch? Absolutely everything was designed to make everyone think he would try to do what he did in the first fight, and just do it better. THAT is NOT what JT did!

    I will be surprised if Jermain does anything other than blister and move for 12 rounds. He is WAY to fast for Froch.

    I've never boxed, but I'm pretty sure you should do this by feel and muscle memory, not tape marks on the canvas. That is what we used to do for stupid actors on stage. "Go stand on the X you stupid (if only tits were brains) starlett".

    Color me unconvinced. I figure Jermain will get dragged into a street fight sooner or later. Jermain will see TONS of counter opportunities, get over anxious and WHAM! Brawl time.

    I think this is going to be a three fight trilogy of sorts. Bute seems "booked", Kessler is off doing god knows what and Balsay is a turd monster. Taylor and Froch are made for one another. Classic boxer vs classic slugger. I'm juiced for this one.

    I agree that is the wrong approach. Personally I think it's diversion. Remember the build up to the Pavlik/Taylor rematch? What Taylor and Nelson said publically was quite different from the actual fight plan.

    I'm sure Ozell Nelson will give Jermain a good game plan. He pretty much scripted two perfect plans for Taylor in the Lacy and Pavlik II fight. The question is will Jermain follow it all the way through? He HAS been known to have those occasional lapses.

    Taylor is disciplined. If Froch comes unglued, it will be his undoing. Taylor stayed to his plan in the second Pavlik fight.
