Taylor by stoppage. Yeah, I said it. Ref steps in late.

Froch is very tough and clever but by the time he's figured Taylor out it might be too late.

Taylor split decision.

Froch ko 11

Taylor UD

Froch by mid to late rounds KO with the uppercut.

Taylor.

I'm tempted to say by KO, but I won't be so bold.

If Froch can stay close coming into the last four, he should have a great chance, because I don't think that Taylor is great at closing out a fight down the stretch, but I still see him having too much for Froch.

Hope desperately that I'm wrong.

Been thinking Taylor since it was announced, but Froch seems to me to want this a whole lot more than Taylor. I'm hoping Carl doesn't walk onto anything too damaging early, but if he doesn't, and stays with Taylor for the first 4 or 5 rounds, I reckon he'll have Taylor having 2nd thoughts.
If he doesn't dominate, Taylor is heading for a world of pain, and with all those millions in the bank, he might start wondering if it's all really worth it.

I'll go Froch UD.

Froch TKO 8

Keeping thinking even earlier than that - Taylor will be very dangerous early.

My only reservation is that in the early days Frochy used to get extremely nervous in the changing room before fights - I hope he doesn't in this one - he needs to start early and bully Taylor out of the fight.

This probably won't be popular but i hope Jermain does a number on him.

Froch TKO 8

Froch close UD

Hoping for a Taylor win but think Froch will get to him late on :x

why do you want taylor to win? i dont mean that in a you have to support the british fighter way, just out of curiosity

I'm a fan of Taylor and he comes across as a good guy.

Bloody nostradamus me!

now going to whoop my wee bro for not putting the cash on his internet account.

Well done froch.

My prediction was Taylor winning within first 6 rds which was obviously wrong but Froch went down Hard in that 3rd and was genuinely hurt but Jermain didnt jump on him like he should have, maybe scared of gassing like he did trying to stop Pavlik.

Not TOO far wrong. AT least I had the faith!

I had Taylor by 2 going into the last round. Great fight. But Kessler will beat Carl.

maybe right now, but with a few defences under his belt i wouldn't write froch off.

kessler is falling into obscurity. where was his march 14 US debut? i think the taylor fight will improve froch, whereas kessler will gain nothing from the long awaited WBA mandatory gusmyl perdomo.

Palle was to blame I thought?

probably, but i think regardless of who's at fault, it will hurt kessler's boxing.
