Just rewatched it for the first time. even better than I remember. 2 rock solid chins. I thought JT would beat Froch to a wide UD but I can now see Froch KO'ing Taylor
I understand the fight was lacking in technique at times, but it was two warriers meeting each other head on. I knew all about Froch beforehand, he can look better but that fight showcased his no1 attribute, granite chin. Pascal came away with as much credit for me though. Anothe solid chin, he will go far. My kind of fight.
Yes it was I think pascal should get a lot of respect in losing in that fight, he took some bombs but kept fighting back away from home.
Very good fight and I think Froch gives Taylor knightmares simply on the fact that when Taylor does get hit he loses his composure. Froch needs to concentrate on winning the rounds as opposed to trying to knock Taylor out. He doesn't want to make it a close fight only to be robbed by the judges.
Pascal offered a lot more than a good chin too. He was throwing some damaging looking bombs and possibly showed the better technique at times. Definetly won me over that night. It was on national tv in the UK which can only be good for both of their careers.
It was a beautiful fight, I'm proud to say I was there supporting my man on. Pascal hasn't been given the right amount of credit for the fight, he also has iron chin. The speed in the fight throughout was amazing! For me fight of the year, brilliant!
I'm Canadian so I've gotten the chance to watch quite a bit of Pascal's career and to be honest Pascal is brutal. He's a Manfredo level supermiddleweight and will never be a factor and Froch struggled with him. If Froch was world class he woulda demolished Pascal. Taylor is gonna dominate Froch's overated ass.
He had a rib injury. That probably wasn't even Froch at his best. I doubt your even Canadian, you'd be jumping all over Pascal and proclaiming him to be great. I was impressed by him though, he has a much better chin than people gave him credit for before, he was well conditioned, quick with good fundamentals, a lot of heart and a big overhand right. And afterwards he didn't complain, he just said the better man won and that he was looking to put it behind him and bounce back. I liked what I saw in the fight but I was worried he'd ruin it by being bitter afterwards. I'm thankful he wasn't and I became a fan the moment he gave Froch his due and said he beat him fair and square.
ye i can see why. hes a tough customer. im suprised he hasnt been put up against bute..wouldnt that be huge in canada?
FROCH V TAYLOR :think Im in Two minds on this one ......I see it as Froch is Tougher/Better Chin/heavier hands Taylor is Skilled/experienced Froch should KO him in the late rounds as Taylor always burns out late and hasn't really got the heart for it anymore. Taylor needs to counter and box all night as froch is Limited in skill and experience. Froch needs to up his workrate massively..... He couldn't put a combanation together with a calculator!!!!!!! It all depends what condition Taylor turns up in????? MY PREDICTION IS FROCH BY KO IN 11TH/12TH ROUND should be a good fight!!!!!!! I Like Froch but i wish he'd shut up about calzaghe..... Joe would score a 10/8 during the ring announcement..........HA HA
