This will be his hardest bout and he is going to Taylors backyard. So its hard to please the judges from the get go!

Carl needs to seriously break Jermaine down and try and go for a stoppage.

If Taylor comes in bored and unbothered, this will be easy for Froch. But Taylor is looking to capture that belt back so it maybe the slick athletic motho who will box carl off early and mid way through!

We were to believe that Carl was injured when he fought pasq? That injury during training defined his work rate and defense, which i thought was quite poor for the cobra!

:bbbBig up Carl..do us proud bitch!

Yep. Really looking forward to this fight now.

Best wishes, definitely.

Carl's got to be really careful he doesn't get outworked. If it's a close fight he really can't expect any favours...

We all know how leisurely he can be at times, Carl needs to show some fire.
I don't think Taylor can take the abuse Pascal did, but he may refuse to trade much.

Really hope he pulls it off.

The actual fight has been in danger of getting overshadowed by the TV rights drama.

I'm not a big fan but he's a Brit fighting a Yank so good luck for the fight Froch lad!!!

I didn't use to like Froch that much, but in the Pascal fight he showed a lot of heart and he has grown on me, so good luck Carl Froch.

Tough fight for Froch, at Taylors best he'd have outpointed Carl but I'm not sure how much his heart is still in it.

Bollocks to Carl Froch.

Hope get gets embrarrassed and then hopefully that big mouth of his will be shut up for good.

Lets hope he wins - keep the slim possilbilty of the Calzaghe fight alive.

I for one think Calzaghe might be tempted back for one last swan song in Britain against Carl Froch.

If Froch gets beaten by Taylor and beaten well - then it ends here.

But if he wins and maybe even KO's Taylor and then shouts for Calzaghe to get out of his rocking chair - I think Calzaghe might be goaded into one last fight.

All British war - maybe in Cardiff.

If you dont like Froch it be even sweeter to see him humilated by Calzaghe.

Yep, Good luck to him, I've got a fair bit of respect for the guy as he's gone straight after Taylor in his 1st defense.

Anyone paying the £10 for the stream?

It's gonna be very tough for him, I think, with a hungry Taylor on a mission for another world title and it being in Taylor's backyard.

Needs to stop him.

K him TFO Carl. Good luck :good

i hope he does it, whether you love him or hate him you have to respect the courage hes shown in taking on one of the worlds elite fighters in his own country, in his first title defense.

Don't particularly like the guy nor do I rate his ability all that much but his attitude is a refreshing change from all these over cautious bastards who act more like businessmen than fighters! For that I hope he knocks Taylor out and makes a big statement. Can't see him doing it though.

Never been a Froch fan but liked the balls he showed in the Pascal fight & the bigger balls by taking on a american in his backyard......
Good luck mate

I'm hopeful that his tenacity and power will come through. He wants it so he should go get it. His mins should be thinking WAR. He's got to start tagging Taylor. I don't think a nip and tuck fight will help him unless Taylor is sluggish. Taylor has quickness on his side so Froch has to use his advantages - strong mind, stong physically and power.

Good luck Carl.

Always been a fan and I love his attitude. I believed he meant what he said from the start, and I think that heading straight off to fight Taylor in his first defence proves that he isn't bluster.

I think Froch's jab and all round ability are often under-rated and I fancy him here. The fight will be won by the guy who sets the tempo and dictates the pace. He can't afford to stand off and let Taylor turn it into a non-fight.

Can't wait for this.

C'mon Froch!!!

Annihilate this patsy, who refused a shot at the title for a 50/50 split to go and fight Jeff Lacy, who hasn’t got the balls to go overseas to challenge a champion, who made excuse after excuse before he realised he had no one else to fight and nowhere to go.

For Great Britain and for boxing, go and destroy him!! :bbb:deal:dead

Good luck to Froch, he's really grown on me, as a Calzaghe fan I used to think he was just irritating, but he really is serious about what he says.

I see Taylor winning a clear decision, but in this instance I would LOVE to be proven wrong.

COME ON FROCHY!!!!

I agree entirely with your post :good.

Wasn't too sure about Froch at first but he's grown on men and even though I see Taylor winning I really want him to pull the upset off.
