    OMFG! The fightwriter picks Froch!

    Looks like Graham Houston has Froch:

    "...Maybe I am underestimating Taylor, and perhaps he will come out with one of his sharpest performances and maybe even make it look easy — this would not be a total shock. I am going with Froch, however. I think his jab and hand speed are comparable to Taylor’s, and I have a feeling that he might be a little too hungry, too big, too strong and too tough for his higher-profile opponent. I’m taking Froch to grab command in the last third of the contest and forge ahead to take a points victory — with a late stoppage not an unthinkable outcome."

    Houston is often right in his prediction. I might kiss my points goodbye already

    Well, he probably keeps thinking about how shocked he probably was when Pavlik beat Taylor. But then again Pavlik and Froch fight nothing alike, and Pavlik KO'd good competition. Ever since Taylor lost, I think he has has looked alot better. He even gave Pavlik a close battle in the rematch, and some think Taylor won. While, I won't say he won the rematch against Pavlik he did put up a great fight in the rematch.

      Sound like a good call to me.Taylor was an awsome fighter,but I have serious doubts whether he has got the stomach for a war,and at some point in this fight its gonna turn that way.I cant see Taylor boxing on his toes for 12 against Froch,could be wrong though.

        If froch wants to make it a war, he will leave himself open for the better boxer to counter-punch him.

            Don't be surprised to see Froch win this.

              Maybe,maybe not.If Taylor is anything other than 100% he is in for a long night.

                He is the best in the business in breaking down a fight. He often even gets the KO round right as well.

                    How often? Often enough to make boxing look fixed?
