I saw a few threads about JT and some news stories regarding HBo not picking up the fight and why Show time did. To me The Little Rock fighter is back on the trail and he is gunning for Froch this weekend. April 25th on Showtime. I heard JT might fight Roy Jones and other options were mentioned but I was glad when I heard he was going after the young Brit. While many may not see JT as a big draw now I still see alot of excitement from him in the SMW division. There are some interesting matchups out there for him in my mind. Let me know what you think about the upcoming fight and what I have posted previously in this thread....Lefty
This is a must win fight for both men. That is why this fight will be exciting. Both men will put it all on the line to be the supreme man of the division. I've discussed this fight in numerous threads, so i will keep my thoughts simple for this one.
Taylor will control the fight in the early stages. If he keeps his composure by the 8/9th round, he will see off a unanimous decision. However, we have seen him become frustrated in mid-rounds before, which leads him off into the opponents gameplan. If he does this against Froch, he could be finished in the late rounds by knockout. His stamina is my biggest worry. Also, his head will be a big factor.
Froch has everything to prove. Winning this fight, puts him at the forefront of the 160-168 divisions along with Pavlik, Kessler, Bute and Abraham. He has stated that if he wins this he wants Pavlik next. He is a very hungry fighter, and going to America in his first defense shows he has balls. He will throw everything into this fight, but more importantly, he would want to drag Taylor into a war, which he will be heavily favoured to come out at top. He is the underdog, but a live one at that.
My head says a Taylor UD, while my heart says Froch TKO in the late rounds. It really is that hard to pick. I've tried showing as much unbias as i can as i am a huge Froch fan.
Most important, if both men put on a great show that is competetive throughout, i'm sure both men will be around for a while. Especially on the title scene.

The biggest question mark is how Taylor will perform. Funny thing is, that's been the biggest question mark going into Taylor's fights for the last couple of years.

I give Taylor the edge but either result would not really shock me.

I can't see Taylor knocking Froch out. Froch is certainly limited, but you cannot take away the fact that he is a tough bastard. Never been down amateur or pro. Taylor can win, but not by KO. Still, my points are on Froch.
