*Discussion: Carl Froch - Jermain Taylor 25/4*

[richard (mossley)]

The most sensible bet here is Froch KO, I think I am going to earn some good money on this. Froch will knock the American into retirement. Like people have said, who has Taylor actually hurt? He is nothing.

Ive gone for Froch win by KO but i think most of the choices there are serious bets.

Taylor is far more skillfull than Froch and i see him winnin most the early rounds beating Carl to the punch and jsut plain outboxing him. But Froch will keep coming and force the fight at a decent pace and get through sometimes,

Taylor will tire and slow down and Froch wont drop the pace and he will get through more and more and by the later rounds Taylor wont have much left and nowhere to run. He will get caught with a big combo or if not Froch will overtake him on points by being the agressor and doing more work.

But im basing this on Taylor having poor stamina, ive seen him fading in fights, especially at the bigger weight and im expecting to see this.

If im wrong about that Taylor could well take it the full 12 and win more than just the early rounds and win it on points. And ofcourse as good a chin as Froch has im sure Taylor could muster a KO punch out of his fists especially if Froch is guna walk on to stuff like he did against Pascal.

Who has he hurt is that a joke? He has hurt Hopkins,Wright, downed Pavlik. People get a little confused and say " well he didn't hurt Ouma or Spinks". It is kind of hard for a fighter to hurt someone when they are always on the defense. Also that was at 160 lbs and from what I remember he was always battling to make the weight. This is Taylor's natural weight and he looked damn impressive against Lacy. One of his best performances to date. This will be the return of Taylor.

Tough fight to call a winner. I expect Taylor to sweep the early rounds then Froch to start pinching them later on as Taylor tires, who wins depends how early thjis'll happen. As Froch is a twat I hope Taylor can actually stop him but that's unlikely IMO.
