Carl Froch Vs Jermain Taylor

[hookoutofhell]

I think the some of the British media are actually underestimating taylor, just because froch obviously has the desire to win, doesn't automatically mean that Taylor isnt doing the same. They keep harping on about the same things.

1)Because Jermain Taylor's camp says 'who the froch is carl', this means they are gonna take it too easy and under prepare.

2)Because Jermain lost to kelly pavlik, he isnt the fighter who beat hopkins, therefore he loses to carl.

3) If Carl fights like he did against pascal, he will win.

4) Duke McKensie even said 'Taylor makes more mistakes than froch', what an idiot.

I dont think they understand the following, Froch has heart, but if taylor comes in focused, there is only so much his heart can do.

-Taylor is not jean pascal
-Taylor wont come up to froch hands down looking to trade
-Taylor does have decent handspeed at the weight and a very good jab.

Taylor has to do 2 things in this fight,

-Keep his hands up, particularly that left.
-And the most important one is, Move laterally, dont back up. Froch is gonna be on the front foot looking to turn it into a war, taylor needs to double and triple the jab whilst stepping off the to side.

good post man - green k.

i see taylor winning this fight as well, froch is a strong fighter, with a good chin and throws awkward punches from strange angles, because of that he can tag you when you dont expect it and we know that hurts a damn sight more. he needs to use his jab and look to throw straight punches, he shoots a telegraphed right uppercut too often that JT will slip and counter and his hands are too low leaving his chin exposed.

JT is the quciker fighter and should have no trouble landing punches, he should fight in the pocket as you mentioned and not get drawn into a slugfest with the bigger man. if he uses his jab, counters well and pot shots here and there he should win.

i see taylor UD although if he turns up anything less than 100% froch will punish him for it.

[P4P Opinion]

I have Froch by late stoppage. I'm predicting that Taylor outboxes Froch early before gassing out and getting stopped. If Taylor comes in really well condtioned and really focused he'll win, but I'm yet to be convinced.

I don't rate either fighter very highly, but for the sake of prediction, I've got Froch.

I see Taylor winning by stoppage at some point in this fight. I really believe he will be all over Froch, and good chin or not, the ref will end the fight if he remains upright.

[S.G.]

smart money is on Taylor, he's the superior boxer after all

but i got a feeling Froch could pull it off. He has a tough chin, a hard punch, a good arsenal with a wide variety of punches

that is enough to give anyone fits, and i believe Taylor may not be the fighter he once was

This **** is about 1 week away, April 25th, who wins and more importantly why?

taylor, based on speed, and overall skill level.

looking forward to the taylor-froch fight.....but i must say, the thing that excites me the most about it, is PACMAN-HATTON WILL BE THE VERY NEXT WEEK!!!

[S.W.F.C]

Hoping for a Froch win.
He should have fought in the uk, he is the champ after all.
Credit to him for not tho, and in only his first defence fighting a former undisputed middleweight champ.

bad intentions will ud him.

i think taylor will completly outbox froch for the majority of the match before getting clipped by an uppercut, taylor just beats the count but is all over the place the ref tries to keep it going but but froch is straight in and the ref has to stop it. Froch gets no credit for the win and you all still have a go at him. Everyone also has a go at taylor and more than half of you get really stressy.

Taylor will likely get a close, questionable decision over Froch.

Or he gets embarrassed and flattened after the 6th.

Actually this is pretty accurate.

Its very simple.Froch HAS to win,because if he doesnt I have to sport a picture of gaylord Kermit"headbunt"Cintron in my avatar for a month,and that must not happen!
