    Anyways, with everything Ive said... I dont predict Jermain to run over Froch.. I have seen Froch fight... I do not underestimate him... He has serious power, and a great chin...

    But I like Jermains pound for pound experience going into this fight... I have it a close UD for Taylor.

    But if Froch won, I could accept that... and would gladly admit to being wrong about it on Sunday.

      Ive talked about JT throwing himself out in the first fight... but thats more personal opinion, and will basically tailspin us into a 3 page debate between kelly and jt..


      Whats to answer .....err well you like highlighting the part where Taylor nearly knocked him out and conveniently not bringing the fact that Taylor lost twice.

      Taylor did blow himself out, but so what there are 12 rounds in a fight not 1 or 2, its one of the reasons you spend weeks in camp devising a game plan.

      If Taylor beat Pavlik the second time it might be worth bringing up that Taylor was unlucky or that he blew himself out.

      Bottom line he lost to Pavlik, because Pavlik was better than him twice.

          Me to. I dont know all that much about Froch. I guess i base a lot on what Taylor is not good at than what Froch is good at.

          If im wrong i to will hold my hands up. I wont be surprised if i am. Im not that confident because i dont know enough about Froch to be that confident, but i do have an slight feeling Froch gonna take it.

                Froch is a live dog in this fight and a genuine threat to the well being of any opponent. In a close fight, Graham is probably always gonna shade to the Brit to keep his kinfolk from renouncing him.

                Now, I picked Taylor in my predictor league as I see his quickness and experience being up a class from what Froch is used to seeing, but if Froch absorbs the early incoming without blinking, he will be well encouraged to go after Taylor and make it a long, tough night.

                Should be a nice, juicy scrap, so enjoy.

                  He picks a winner still and is right more often than not.

                  Interesting take you have on the fight. I'd say the fight is destined for 12 if Taylor should win and I feel that he has to pace himself accordingly. As you also say: Speed is the key. I believe that this fight could end in a completele scooling of Froch.

                    If Taylor fights the right kind of fight i can see that to Bats. Thats why its such an intriguing match up, because if he fights the wrong fight it could go in completely the wrong direction for Taylor.

                      If he has such devastating power why didn't he KO oe dominate Pascal. People are jumping the gun talking about his power and chin.
