    aylor gets shot at belt vs. Froch

    BY CHRIS GIVENS

    Jermain Taylor is training for another title shot.

    Ozell Nelson, Taylor's trainer, confirmed to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette late Tuesday night that Taylor, the former middleweight champion from Little Rock, will fight Englishman Carl Froch

    (24-0, 19 KOs) for the World Boxing Council super middleweight title on either April 18 or April 25. A site has not been determined, although it will definitely be in the United States. The fight will be televised on Showtime.

    Froch won the world title vacated by Joe Calzaghe

    with a unanimous decision over Jean Pascal on Dec. 6. Taylor (28-2-1, 17 KOs) earned the title shot with a decisive victory over Jeff Lacy on Nov. 15.

    Although Team Taylor discussed several opponents, including Pascal, Allan Green and even Bernard Hopkins, in the end Froch, because of the accessory he carries, was the most attractive option. The fight was made after a lengthy negotiation process.

    "It's for the belt," Nelson said. "Jermain can get his belt back, and it will keep him hungry. He had the belt, and he lost it. He's hungry again. Jermain wants to be champion. He said any way possible, make it happen."

    Taylor won the middleweight world championship in July 2005 with a victory over Hopkins and held the title until getting knocked out by current middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik on Sept. 29, 2007.

    The buildup for the Taylor-Froch fight already has a touch of animosity.

    Froch posted a note on his official Web site, www. cobraboxing.com, titled "I will smoke Taylor's boots" that included several disparaging remarks. Froch and his promoter, Mick Hennessy, also have made several comments to British newspapers indicating their belief that Taylor was trying to avoid Froch.

    "Carl Froch talked all that trash; that makes it even more important to beat him," Nelson said. "We're probably going to need some good security when they first meet."

    hahaha least its a wide UD

    but from beating up a washed up robin reid, and a close fight bewteen a relatively unproven jean pascal, Dont be surprised to see taylor pull of the KO he hasfought against much tougher opposition

    I'm not saying Taylor can't stop Froch, but I do think the best fight plan against an oaf like that would be "blister and move." Jermain is faaassst. He can keep Froch swinging at the place he USED to be.

    Damn unexpected but much appreciated news...can't wait for this fight

    And though I don't like either fighter I'm pretty sure Froch wins by TKO

    Froch wins, late stoppage. Anyone reckoning Froch is gonna get ko'd need to check out how his chin performed against Pascal. Those were some real "hurtin bombs", to borrow a totally kick arse phrase from Rocky Balboa.

    but i bet we can both agree that the fight would be a great 1 especially if froch comes to fight, but should expect taylors skills to win this 1, he will out work and out class froch i still think he Ko's him within the first 6 rounds

    Britisher Steve Dunce said it looks like Fly Sports will whack it on to a 14.95 (Nritisher pound) PPV. With Jr Witter being put on the card.
