Most of the boxers and pundits ITV intereviewed (Adam Booth, Jon Thaxton etc) in their preview all seemed to go for Froch.
Head says Taylor UD.
Heart says Froch late KO.

Froch will close it out down the stretch with superior hunger, fitness and guts. I think he puts a bit of a beating on Jermain.
9-3, 8-4, 9-3
At the World Amateur Boxing Championships of 2001, David Haye and Carl Froch won England’s first ever medals, both silver. They both turned pro shortly afterwards and have gone on to world championship professional careers using a hands-down, strong-punching style. But the impression they’re making on the British public is markedly different.
Haye was operating in a relatively unknown division before moving to heavyweight, globally notoriously understaffed with quality performers and domestically dominated by the mediocre merry-go-round of Williams, Harrison, Skelton and Sprott with a few others thrown in for good measure. It’s not that exciting. On top of which, Haye has based himself in Cyprus for a while now, hardly the Ricky Hatton way of maximising your home fan base.
But Haye’s talent for self-promotion sees his upcoming fight with Wladimir Klitschko as being the most talked-about in the country while Froch’s defence of his WBC super middleweight belt against Jermain Taylor isn’t even being carried on any British television channel. Why? Well, Haye’s looks certainly help – he wears the playboy image well while Froch, athlete though he is, is no oil painting, sporting a nose which is, for a man who’s been getting into boxing rings for two decades, frankly astounding. But if the British boxing public were so aesthetically demanding it’s hard to understand how Hatton can draw 30,000 Mancunians to Las Vegas.
Style-wise, it’s hard to think of a dull Froch bout. He’s won all of 24, the majority by knockout and even when the judges are called into use it’s no indication of a lull in the action – in decisioning Jean Pascal last time out the two produced a late candidate for 2008’s fight of the year. Amazingly, Setanta, Sky and ITV all decided not to bid for the fight. Instead it will be streamed over the web on a dedicated site: some consolation for Froch’s British fans but hardly the way to maximise the fan base of a man who, although still fresh, is now on the old side of 30.
This is the nub of the Froch enigma. He’s certainly no shrinking violet. He’s been brashly confident in his own abilities since his amateur days and he’s happy to let anybody know it.
