Froch isn't as willing to fight Taylor as he led us to believe...

[Fenster]

After watching him go life and death with a Canadian who is possibly a little bit short of world level ability it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Froch stay at home and fight an easy mandatory to make a bit of money. Henessy has a contract with ITV, it'd be no problem at all for him to get the fight on the telly and he's had months to make a TV deal for the fight on British TV anyway, so he's clearly bullshitting.

I'm sure i read ITV wont show anymore fights in the early hours.. which obviously Froch-Taylor would be from the states.

But.. I'd be surprised if Froch didn't have one or two "gimme" defences before stepping up.

Respect to him if he makes his first defence in the challengers backyard

It may be the case with ITV but Hennessy knew the dates for the purse bids before Froch fought Pascal and would have been negotiating with British TV companies then to see how much they were willing to pay so that he could make his bid. Using British TV problems now as an excuse is no excuse, it does look like they're avoiding the fight.

I agree that Froch deserves respect for making his first defence (or even second or third) in the States but I'll believe it when I see it. I'm guessing the Trent FM arena for the forseeable future.
