Froch's "0" will go come Saturday

I can't see a KO, really; Taylor will comfortably outbox him and will have no need to push the fight. Also, one thing that Froch does have is a good chin, and Taylor's hardly a devastating puncher in any case.

 

I think its closer than that. Although this might be because I got burnt by picking Taylor over Pavlik the first time and that I've just totally lost faith in Jermain Taylor. So much potential seems just hasn't turned into a promising career. I wasn't impressed with his performance against Lacy either. I hope your right the guy once looked like one of boxing brightest stars and now I'm just disappointed every time the guy gets in the ring.

 

I tend to agree with you

 

Are we basing this solely on the Pascal fight? Although even then he used the jab in later rounds and looked in complete control whenever he did.

 

Can't see Taylor stopping Froch. Froch has always fought at 168 and has never been dropped, let alone stopped, as a pro or amateur. Taylor on the other hand as only just stepped up to 168 and hasn't stopped anyone for a about 4 years.

I'll go with Taylor UD.

 

I completely agree, Froch has a hard head so it won't be a big punch that takes him out, but I can see it getting sad enough that the ref might call it. Pascal was doing very well against him but got sloppy, JT will stay sharp.

 

Taylor 116-112

JT could KO Froch late in the fight but Taylor never shown the stamina to carry his power in the late round so i guess it will be the same here. But he definitly got the speed ,jab and straight to keep Froch off his back !

 

If Froch gets knocked down multiple times..... I'll eat my hat

 

"Joe could probably have tapped and slapped his way to a boring points win, but I GUARANTEE you I will smoke Taylor's boots and destroy him" WBC SMW titleholder Carl Froch. So I have to believe in that guarantee even if Froch is said to have a leaky defense, keeping his left hand low and enabling opponents to strike over the top. Taylor was highly accurate with his jab against Lacy ( 107 landed out of 257 jabs thrown) and he will need to outjab Froch so that the Brit doesn't nail him with hard rights right behind the jab. Foch's 0 will go on Sat nite? Maybe Jermain Taylor will go to somewhere else but the top contendership at 168 lbs, maybe we will get to see that Taylor-Miranda clash sooner than we thought but as a support fight for a main event!

 

Froch will stop Taylor late on Saturday.... you can have my avvy if Taylor emerges victorious.
