Froch/Taylor

[Redskins#1]

Don't get sucked into the hype fellas. Froch is a typical European fighter; he looks good against other average European fighters. Taylor wins this one. I know Froch has a punch, but his fundamentals are shit. Taylor will out-class him... My heart tells me Taylor KO's him, but my head tells me Taylor wins by easy unanimous decison. Either way, Taylor wins this one, no problem Take the chalk on Tayor (-130)

P.S. Pacquaio vs Hatton. Take the over 9.5.

Good luck to all.

Totally agree, a bit baffled why everyone seems to respect Froch so much (including the oddsmakers). Watched him fight Pascal and wasn't blown away by his talent. He's not going to get away with fighting with his hands low against a world class fighter.

Just a feeling but I think Taylor makes a little statement here and wins this inside the distance. Taking a chance and putting half on inside, half for the straight victory. The +400ish odds are too good to ignore. I don't care if Froch has never been down before, he's never fought anyone before.

I had Froch and was watching it on tape delay. He awas getting beat so bad that I had to go to 5DIMES to see who won. I couldnt believe I saw I won. So I watched the end of the fight. I cant wait till this guy fights somone who can fight because he keeps his hands down and will get his luncH handed to him. I WILL TAKE THE WIN.

Disappointing loss for myself on this one. I really believed Taylor would be able to go the 12 and his stamina problems of the past weren't going to come into play. Fight was going to plan until the 7th/8th round when Taylor's work rate started to drop. Even with his limping to the finish line all Taylor had to do was stay on his feet for 10-15 more seconds and the fight was his. Two judges had him up 106-102 heading into the 12th.

Froch as advertised has heart but he leaves a lot to be desired. He was basically getting shut out (including a knock down) before Taylor tired. Really needs to improve his defense and keep his hands up. Against a Kessler or another top class fighter he should be a considerable underdog.
