No Froch For Kessler. Froch-taylor next.

[askoe]

Promoter Mick Hennessy says that Lou Dibella has called him, and Jermain Taylor is ready for Froch. Hennessy didn't think Taylor/DiBella wanted the fight which is why he had earlier approached Mogens Palle about a possible fight against Kessler.

This all leaves Kessler in a bit of a limbo....none of the big SMW-names is interested at this moment. Hopefully Kessler fights the winner later this year.

My prediction: Taylor by late TKO or Froch by controversal split hometurf decision.

Although Froch has plent of heart and determination, based on what I saw in the Pascal fight, I think both Taylor and Kessler would outclass him.

I hope for Mads Larsen they will meet soon, he looked pretty good in his last fight, the best he has looked since his comeback, following his long break (almost 4 years) Bute I guess is still a little shaky from the ass-kicking he recieved in that 12. round.

I'm down wit either of these fights. Kessler better start fightin real comp soon.

I took an early nap after work yesterday so I could get up and watch the Froch-Pascal fight aired on FSN just after midnight. What a show! So many things about that fight stand as what's RIGHT with boxing now.

Froch puts together very intelligent and intricate combinations. Taylor's are more your standard run-of-the-gym combinations, but Taylor has much more handspeed than Froch and as much, if not more, power. I see it as being a good fight but I think Taylor is due for another stoppage. Taylor by TKO 10th.

HBO turned down the fight. Without HBO, there is no Froch-Taylor unless they can get over to Showtime.

Anyone who thinks Taylor's handspeed is an advantage does not have a ****ing clue what they are talking about. This guy does not have a standout handspeed
as a tool that the likes of Calzaghe or Mayweather have. So speed being an issue in a fight with Froch is bull****. Pascal has faster handspeed than Taylor. Yes, Pascal may not be as good as Taylor, but we are not talking about that.

DiBella's call to Hennessey is old news. HBO doesn't want the fight. If push comes to shove, and the alternative opponents (Winky, Kessler) don't pan out, they might take it, but for now it's not looking good.

Why does your difference in oppinion have to naturally conclude that I don't have a clue? Taylor doesn't have to be the fastest hands in the west. He only needs to be faster than Froch, which he is. No matter who the fighters are... handspeed will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS be a factor in ANY fight.
