    Im going for Taylor ud, tho i wouldnt be surprised to see froch stopped.
     
  4. If Taylor is back fighting at a level he was against Hopkins then he should outbox Froch and take a decision by a few clear rounds. The thing is though there is little to suggest that Taylor has any of that desire back.

    If he fights with the cautious approach he did in the second Pavlik fight then he could be in trouble. If Froch hurts Taylor early and makes him feel his power then he wins the fight.

    I see the most likely outcome as being a very wide points win for Taylor.

    Voted Froch , I would say Taylor is the better fighter but I dont think his heart is in it anymore , he looked lumpen against Lacy

    However if he shows up Carl has his hands full !

    Voted with my heart and went for Froch but my head says this is a 60 - 40 fight that Taylor will win. I hope I'm wrong though ;)

    I honestly think Forch may get schooled....badly.

    First big fight in the US against,IMO, an underrated fighter.....he's going to be so so out his depth.

    I thought he looked **** against Pascal. Ploderous,predictable and spent.

    Looking forward to this more than Hatton-Pac. This is such a huge fight for Taylor that for once he's actaully trained properly so with increased stamina and his superior movement this is a huge step up for Froch. However, Froch has power and a good chin to compensate for his relatively poor footwork and movement so it would seem to point to either a Froch win inside the distance if he can get his right hand through, or Taylor on points.

    i really hope froch wins... but.. he wont. Froch has the tougher chin and the bigger punch, so theres always a chance he could do it, but i think he will get owned... badly. I wish froch hadnt done so much trash talk, taylors weakness is his mental application, and all froch has done by mouthing off is to make sure taylor will be really up for this
