    Froch has an amazing chin, no one can deny it. But what really pisses me off about him is he brags too much about it. He likes to stick his chin out, get hit and then probably say to himself 'ohhhh i'm good'.

    But this isn't going to work against Taylor.

    Froch likes to attack in bursts. If you watched the Pascal fight, he just gets hit, throws a few jabs. Then for about 5 seconds goes on the offensive, throwing a flurry of punches. About half of them miss.

    I really want Froch to win this, but I don't think his fighting style is going to work against Taylor and I can see him getting knocked down for the first time in his professional career.

      The only way I see Froch winning, would be if Taylor gassed late on in the fight and got stopped... Other than that I see Jermain getting a UD.

        Thats pretty much my prediction. I see Taylor gassing and Froch catching him. In fact i've been to the bookies and placed a bet for a Froch victory from 8th round onwards....I just have a good feeling on that!!

          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

          WTF??

              Just read his prediction on Juanma vs Penalosa. Oh man is that dude freaky.

                    Yeah i know, I m just messing I just couldnt see any other result before the fight, although during the actual fight there were some scary moments! I just knew Taylor didnt have it in him to get into the trenches, Froch should have pressed him more earlier when Taylor started to slow the punch output!

                      That wasnt a dig at anyone but i was just surprise that alot of boxing fans who has seen both fighters and their respective style/ability actually picked froch, the easiest thing is to pick the named fighter you see..

                      i picked froch to KO taylor around the 11th round because i knew taylor couldnt handle the championship rounds against a supermiddleweight
