    Guys, please - let's keep it a little more civil around here.  This is usually a great forum with a good mix of opinions and angles.  Let's keep the discussion on boxing and leave the personal stuff at the door.

    Agreed A2C but its hard to stay calm when someone says "Now, how about you go drink some Irish car bombs and drive into a pole" Its a horrible thing and highly insulting to say to someone..The guy is scum..Anyway here is my full analysis of the fight..
     
    This one has the potential to sizzle early and it's clear Froch isn't resting on his laurels after winning the belt in sensational fashion against Jean Pascal last December.

    'The Cobra' probably could have held out for a far less taxing assignment in his native Nottingham for a first defence but all credit to him for crossing the pond and taking on one Jermain Taylor in America.

    Taylor, of course, holds two wins over Bernard Hopkins and while losses to Kelly Pavlik took the shine off the former undisputed middleweight kingpin somewhat he showed in comprehensively outboxing Jeff Lacy last time out that there is some left in the tank.

    I admit at his very best Taylor is an athletic, aggressive box-fighter with power in both hands. He is not noted as a puncher but a KO ratio approaching 60 per cent is not to sniffed at, particularly when you consider he has been boxing in world-class company for at least the last five years.

    He is a body-beautiful type but unlike someone like Frank Bruno, for instance, his physique doesn't seem to hinder his movement and he has a nice, relaxed, fluid style.

    Physically he has all the tools but there have been questions raised about him mentally and there is a school of thought (my opinion too) that suggests his heart is no longer in the game.

    While middleweight champion he failed to dazzle against both Kassim Ouma and Cory Spinks and more than one of his former trainers levelled accusations about a lack of desire at this level.

    Such accusations cannot be levelled at Froch, one of the most dedicated and driven professionals in the sport right now.

    'The Cobra' lives a monastic lifestyle and is just desperate to prove himself as the best of his generation. He was genuinely gutted when domestic rival Joe Calzaghe called time on his career earlier this year but with Calzaghe out the way Froch is now determined to secure his own legacy in the pantheon of British greats.

    To do this he needs to beat men such as Taylor and while the layers make him a marginal underdog in Connecticut, I fancy him STRONGLY to do the business.

    Froch is a year older than Taylor at 31 but has far fewer miles on the clock and he will be the bigger man on the night (seeing the pair square up at their final press conference made me dubious about Taylor's claim to be 6ft 2in).

    Taylor's only had the one fight at super-middle and while he barely put a foot wrong against Lacy one wonders whether he will have the stomach to go in the trenches with Froch.

    One only has to view the tape of the Pascal fight again to re-affirm that Froch has the stomach for a war and while I am still not sold on him fighting with his hands low, he has shown a good set of whiskers so far and if he can weather Taylor's inevitable early storm I fancy him to take over this fight from around halfway.

    It could be tough to watch at times given his take-two-to-land-one mentality but I fancy backers of the Froch will get their rewards when the dust settles.

    Seriosly this is gettin pathetic.....We are all here to offer our opinions but to bash people for doing so is retarded.....

    Honestly this line worries me but considering that froch is the champion, taylor hasn't looked like taylor since the first rounds of the first pavlik fight, froch beat a good fighter in pascal convinivly, and taylor is moving up on weight then it makes more sense after actually thinking about it.....I say it is a no play as much as i wanna dump on taylor myself......

    However maybe there is a reason hbo refused the fight...Maybe taylor really is going to blow froch out....boringly.... cause that would be the only reason i see in them reject the fight ,since if they thought froch would do the same then it would be an all action figh since froch brings a fight....

     

    we will see though

    I've pretty much lost interest in this fight.  Not to sound like a box, it's internet tough guys like this loser that makes it not fun to spend time engaging in good conversation about boxing and making money.

    I'm sorry if my retaliation about "Irish car bombs" offended you fucker.  Why don't you take some time and go count the insults before I retaliated.  I'm done with this thread

    This one has the potential to sizzle early and it's clear Froch isn't resting on his laurels after winning the belt in sensational fashion against Jean Pascal last December.

    'The Cobra' probably could have held out for a far less taxing assignment in his native Nottingham for a first defence but all credit to him for crossing the pond and taking on one Jermain Taylor in America.

    Taylor, of course, holds two wins over Bernard Hopkins and while losses to Kelly Pavlik took the shine off the former undisputed middleweight kingpin somewhat he showed in comprehensively outboxing Jeff Lacy last time out that there is some left in the tank.

    I admit at his very best Taylor is an athletic, aggressive box-fighter with power in both hands. He is not noted as a puncher but a KO ratio approaching 60 per cent is not to sniffed at, particularly when you consider he has been boxing in world-class company for at least the last five years.

    He is a body-beautiful type but unlike someone like Frank Bruno, for instance, his physique doesn't seem to hinder his movement and he has a nice, relaxed, fluid style.

    Physically he has all the tools but there have been questions raised about him mentally and there is a school of thought (my opinion too) that suggests his heart is no longer in the game.

    While middleweight champion he failed to dazzle against both Kassim Ouma and Cory Spinks and more than one of his former trainers levelled accusations about a lack of desire at this level.

    Such accusations cannot be levelled at Froch, one of the most dedicated and driven professionals in the sport right now.

    'The Cobra' lives a monastic lifestyle and is just desperate to prove himself as the best of his generation. He was genuinely gutted when domestic rival Joe Calzaghe called time on his career earlier this year but with Calzaghe out the way Froch is now determined to secure his own legacy in the pantheon of British greats.

    To do this he needs to beat men such as Taylor and while the layers make him a marginal underdog in Connecticut, I fancy him STRONGLY to do the business.

    Froch is a year older than Taylor at 31 but has far fewer miles on the clock and he will be the bigger man on the night (seeing the pair square up at their final press conference made me dubious about Taylor's claim to be 6ft 2in).

    Taylor's only had the one fight at super-middle and while he barely put a foot wrong against Lacy one wonders whether he will have the stomach to go in the trenches with Froch.

    One only has to view the tape of the Pascal fight again to re-affirm that Froch has the stomach for a war and while I am still not sold on him fighting with his hands low, he has shown a good set of whiskers so far and if he can weather Taylor's inevitable early storm I fancy him to take over this fight from around halfway.

    It could be tough to watch at times given his take-two-to-land-one mentality but I fancy backers of the Froch will get their rewards when the dust settles.



    Mack have to say this was a good write-up lets all stop fighting, this will be a great fight, we all have our opinions this is what the forum is for.

    Forget the silly stuff, do write ups like that and people will give you respect. Let's forget nationalities and where others are from.

    All of us here LOVE boxing, we don't have to agree on the outcome of a fight, we love the sport.

    I'm not going to engage in any personal attacks or jump into other's personal attacks it takes away from what this forum has and it has some great informed and respectable people!

    Lets cut the crap guys, Eric you know your stuff, Mack you did a good write shows you know your stuff and why you like Froch in the  fight, we all know who likes who.. now lets enjoy the fight.

    There is no loser in this as it's a boxing forum not a competition, if Jermaine wins, then he was the better man that night, and if Froch wins he was the better man that night.

    It's going to be a great fight, can we agree on that?

    Nice to see everybody is starting to calm down. I think that this fight will come down to a stamina issue. Froch has some defensive weaknesses but can really bring the heat. Taylor is probably the quicker of the 2 but needs time to set his feet & punch. Not sold that Taylor will be able to control the pace with his jab. If we get to the later rounds Taylor will most likely have to fight going backwards. This is definitely not a good position for him to be in= IMHO. Bottom line is I think Froch is the more hungrier, aggressive boxer & should set Taylor down another peg or two in his pro career. Betting on Froch to take this one in a dominating fashion. No matter who is right on their analysis, I hope to see you all back here, sharing your opinions on the next big fight. GLTU!!!
