Showtime "Announce" FROCH v TAYLOR in April

[smashup]

Looks like Taylor has discovered hills balls and Froch's slating of him seems to have worked

Fully expect the Cobra to blast him out.. let's hope he's not going into battle with a cracked rib and a f*cked eardrum this time

Froch stops him imo

Taylor by lopsided UD.
Froch may not go into this fight with a cracked rib and burst eardrum but will probably come out of it with those ailments...

[JazMerkin]

Would have said Froch by KO, but to be honest the difference in ability & Froch being unable to KO Pascal means I think Taylor by UD, probably 116-112

[Gandalf]

Im not sold on Froch, and Taylor is a let down more often than not. They match up well, could be a very decent fight.

This is how I see it as well. Taylor ha s a confidence problem, and he's lazy enough for Froch to have some moments during the fight. IMO the question is how many of these moments will Froch get, and will Taylor get disheartened as the fight progresses. Ability wise Taylor is way ahead for me, but Froch is definitely hungrier.

[smashup]

Froch will stop him...gaurantee it

He wants it more and Taylor is blatantly scared of him already and wanted nothing to do with this fight and tried everything to not fight him.

Carls on a mission and will crush him inside the distance

[Dean Duke]

Looking forward to this one, Taylor has more class but Froch will be on him all night, 50/50 fight for me with a slight leaning to Froch because of the hunger and will to walk through any thing that Taylor brings.

[smashup]

Taylor can't hurt Froch and he'll simply walk though JT's offerings and smash him to the floor

[Rantcatrat]

Taylor beats Froch, UD. Probably 116-112 or 115-113. Taylor's handspeed advantage will be the difference. Froch talks way too much trash. Someone needs to shut him up.

[HattonTheHammer]

unless taylor is able to engage froch in a complete war froch will take a comfortable decision and break america much earlier than calzaghe did.

As already said on here im not entirely sold on froch, but as always jermain taylor being american is rated to the hills when he really is no more than an ordinary fighter who struck it lucky against an old guy that was shot at that particular weight.

Froch to take a 117-111 decision

[leftylee]

I like Froch. But he's getting took to school here. Unless he seriousley tightens up that defense.

[Tins06]

Gotta go with Jermaine to rip Froch up on the outside. To much skill and class IMO.
I can see Froch getting a little to trigger happy and taking some big counters wich will wear him down for the later rounds. He's got a good chin so can't see a knockout but I see the fight starting off well for both boxers but Jermaine pulling away with his Boxing skills as it goes on.

[HattonTheHammer]

froch just seems like the kind of guy that`ll always be able to raise his game the better the opponents get.

He isnt gonna blow taylor or any world class opponent out but what he does possess is the ability to tactically manoeveure an opponent and fight it at his own pace.

Remember most giving a certain joe calzaghe no chance of beating jeff lacy many years back and well all know what happened there!

[Fenster]

Froch wont win if it goes to the judges.

Taylor has backyard home advantage plus is the "star" in the fight. Taylor's not a huge puncher but is far from a powderpuff. With Froch being so easy to hit, whether Taylor hurts him or not he will be landing plenty of eye catching bombs.

Froch best hope Taylor fades badly and swallows.

i dunno fenster..its been a good while since ive seen a dodgy decision stateside in a big fight.

Even if it isnt nevada led judging im still pretty confident with the attention the fight will draw whichever state its in will employ the very best people to score the fight fairly.

now had this of been kessler vs froch in germany......i would now be an extremely worried man for the "corba" as a WWF style screwjob would definitely be in the works
