    I could see Froch being the better fighter but it will be close and so the judges could do a number on Froch - always back the home fighter ;)

    Hatton will be much quicker than ODLH was so he will have some success against Pac. It all depends on how much, cos Pac will be the one catching the eye of the judges for probably the first two thirds of the fight. Hattons only way of winning is by ko and I reckon Pac has too much skill for that to happen.

    Khan will have way too much speed for Kotelnik and I agree with Mook on a possible late stoppage win for Khan.

    The Haye fight could go either way. If he goes in all guns blazing and walks onto one before catching up with WK it could all end in disaster. If not this could end up being a real barnstormer with several knockdowns all the way to a ko win for Haye.

    But to be honest gambling is a mugs game imo so I won't be betting any of my hard earned yorkshire cash.
    If I had to I would bet on Khan but none of the others, too many ways for one of them to go wrong.

    Ok, maybe it's just me... but, even with the chance of a hometown decision, I just don't see Taylor beating froch.

    I (nearly) always won dough on LL and Khan (I had a huge win on Holyfield vs tyson 1, but only cos the odds were ridiculous on holy), and I see Froch and Haye being in the same league.

    World class, marvellous fighters.

    I've dared the general forum on avatar bets this weekend. anyone willing to bet on brit forum?


    i'm betting on froch by stoppage? If he wins on points, draws, or loses, I lose the bet. DQ or TD, we call the bet void. Who is up for that?

    I cannot see Hatton losing, especially at 140lbs.
    Those body shots have done away with a lot of opponents, what will they do to a blown up Flyweight? HATTON BIG!

    I can see Froch probably winning - I think Taylor is crap. I think this fight goes the distance or a Froch stoppage. Never know with the judges. FROCH but maybe a home town decision. Perhaps even a DRAW.

    Haye has to jump on WK straight away and knock him out or he loses. If you think about it logically with your head rather than heart, Haye is getting stopped here. WLAD via beating.

    Khan, it's scripted for him to win, but Kotelnik can KO him no probs.
    KOTELNIK wins fight on a stoppage. Although Khan "isn't supposed to lose".

    :lol: I will take your Avatar bet as a straight bet Mookhound - If Froch wins I will have his pic on my ava, if Taylor wins you have his... :good

    I know what you mean about Taylor, has really flattered to decieve in some of his recent fights. However, this is his last chance to get back in with the big boys (so to speak). He was clearly outgunned by Pavlik and it showed in his performance. If you remember the best of Taylor when he beat Hopkins and put that in with Froch I think it will a lot closer than you think. Taylor is going to be well up for this and is a better fighter than he is given credit for.
    Don't get me wrong, I would like to see Froch win, he was brilliant(but flawed) against Pascal but I just see Taylor being too skillfull for Frochy this time. Froch's only chance is to make it a slugfest again.

    What's the odds for this?

    I'd happily back it with a tenner.
