As a gambling man i'm having a hefty bet on the Taylor Froch fight.

I'm convinced that Taylor is going to school Carl and the price of 10/11 on a Taylor win in my eyes is too big.

Should i get a bit more creative tho and bet on a Taylor points win....about 13/8.....will Froch's chin hold up? I personally think it will but what do you guys think?

His chin should hold up, I mean it is very good.

However if Froch lets Taylor tee off on him like he did against Pascal we could see a similar situation to Mosley-Margarito.

:lol:

If anybody gets stopped I doubt it'll be Froch
Froch to stop him late rounds 10-12 could be worth a few bob.Think I saw it at 9/1

I agree, but the thing about Taylor is he hasn't really got much killier instinct. Even if he hurt Froch I don't think he would be all over him for a KO.

If you look at the numbers, Taylor hasn't KO'd anybody in a long time.

Taylor had Pavlik going big time in that 2nd round,letting him off the hook there was criminal

Really can't see Taylor stopping him. Think you'd be wasting your money.

Last time he got the "killer instinct" he blew his fuse against Pavlik, and ended up getting KO'd a few rounds later.

The smart money here is on a Taylor UD.

I don't think Pavlik was that badly hurt. By the end of that round he was almost back to normal.

I was going to say..the only reason that ever happened was Pavlik was a clown and dropped his hands trying to showboat and thus got nailed by half a dozen flush power punches. Wasn't exactly a devastating display of power.

Then again...Froch always fucking does that.

He was hurt badly enough.Taylor is the reason Pavlik was allowed to get back to normal,he should've finished the fight from there:-(

i think froch has a very good chin, but although id love to see him win, i think froch will get mauled, and yes i do think he will get stopped

I know,as i said,i cant see a stoppage either which is why im thinking a points victory.

Whats putting me off is the fact Froch's hands are always down and he's constantly hit flush.

Prob just going to take the 10/11 for the win.....its big enough

Anyone else having a flutter on this??

JT may well school Carl but if anyone gets stopped I would imagine it would be JT.

Taylor can be a boring guy to watch sometimes,but if he is up for the fight i think he will win fairly easy.

There's no such thing as "stopping Froch". It doesn't happen.

You beat him on points, or you lose, but you don't KO him.

No he can't

Froch has all the desire from where I'm sitting.

I'm going to the fight and my money is on a Froch stoppage late

pascal had decent super middle power, and was really swinging from the hills with some shots that landed on froch, and never really hurt him. i cant see taylor fighting the same way and taking the chances pascal did.

I think froch's strength is the same as what used to be the case with margarito. you hit the guy with your best shots and he's still standing there after 7 or 8 rounds and still coming forward throwing hurtful punches. must be really dispiriting for a fighter to know he's not gonna stop the other guy coming forward no matter what he does. i had the fight with pascal about even after 9 rounds, then pascal just seemed to wilt under the pressure.

dont think taylor will do the same, so froch for me will have to knock him out to win as i can't see taylor losing on points.

I can see Taylor landing at will in the middle rounds with little coming back. I can't get over the fact that Froch seems so ponderous - he might just get found out I feel.
Hope I am wrong though, I want to say Froch knocks him on his arse early but don't see it!!

Taylor has not fought at super middle, Carl is huge at the weight, for me Froch has better power than pavlik, i think Taylor is going to get bullied, beaten and stopped late, i dont think he has the heart to beat a fighter who will take all you have to offer and keep coming and coming...he was nearly stopped by bhop ffs.....

Taylor is getting ruined next saturday night:deal

Yeah people are going on a Taylor win just cos he is more talented and slick

But Froch is gonna take this guy to the trenches and break his heart

I think he can stop Froch late,that said I think he'll win on points.

can't see Taylor knocking carl out. i do worry that if it goes to the judges Taylor will have probably done enough. Hope I'm wrong and also hope Froch sparks him early
