Froch vs Taylor - I find it hard to visualise how this one will pan out. Taylor is certainly going to use that excellent jab and Froch has to either compete with it or make it ineffective - has Carl the work rate to do that? Will Froch just try to turn the fight into a War? Taylor isn't much of a puncher, so I can't see him hurting Froch but I can see him outboxing Carl - if Carl doesn't impose himself.
I'll be cheering on Carl and I think he can win and it would be a superb achievement.
If this is a good fight which i think it will be,was wondering what are the chances of itv getting the fight 1/2 days later they have done it before.
I think its going to be a great fight. I expect Taylor to win the early rounds maybe catching Froch with some real eye catching shots in the process.
Froch is tough though and if he can get to Taylor in the middle rounds I believe he can break his heart and force to him to quit, not by literally throwing in the towel but rather through forcing him into his shell and effectively have him covering up looking to survive down the stretch.
It really could go either way though. Taylor has struggled to beat virtually everyone I've ever seen him in with post Hopkins, he always makes a meal of it. Lacy was probably his easiest win.
But Froch often tends to be the same. Against domestic level opposition like Brian Magee he was being outboxed at times, a shot Robin Reid caught him flush several times and I can remember him looking absolutely awful in times past against for example Matthew Barney and Dale Westerman.
Both fighters will need to be on their top form to win.
I hope Froch does it, he's an exciting fighter watch and Taylor has had his chances.
I don't feel that Taylor has the heart of a true champion. He basically settled for a points loss to Kelly Pavlik in their rematch, he plodded around cluelessly against Cory Spinks, he couldn't even step it up to get the much smaller Kasim Ouma out of there.
I think, and hope that Carl blows him away and ends the Taylor era. Pavlik and Williams can fly the flag for the Americans at middleweight and Taylor can look to sideshow fights with Roy Jones Jr, Edison Miranda and maybe being a gatekeeper for Andre's Ward and Dirrell.
