how do we see this one going then fella's?

I cant see Taylor KO'ing Froch due to his lack of power and Froch's decent chin, also Taylor is stepping up a division. He has definitely fought at a higher level than Froch, though

I think Froch may nick it on points in a close fight

Due to his constant calling out of a certain Joe Cz and fights being psotponed I've never watched a Froch fight. The only way is to do the job in the ring and this fight is a massive step up. Fighting in your home town in your comfort zone against not very tough talent is one thing.....taking on a man in your first defence who has just beaten Lacy in his own back yard is another.

A victory though here will be quite amazing and will definitely get the worlds attention.

O/T but David Haye v Wladimir being announced for June 20th is my next fight. Flights and hotel are booked for this massive fight in Germany.

Cant wait for that fight, it will be superb. Ive been a big fan of the Hayemaker for some years now and think he is one of our technically best boxers.

I can see him not just giving Wlad one hell of a scare but actually beating him.

I just love the balls of the man! The contract he's signed is quite amazing - the only money he gets is from Setanta, Wlad gets tickets sales, HBO sales and some Setanta cash. If Haye wins he HAS to give Wlad a rematch, if he wins that he gets Vitali. If this comes off we could have another Holyfield on our hands, former cruiser becomes undisputed heavyweight, it's the stuff of legends.

Yes, the contract is very much a "one shot deal" designed entirely just to get him the shot and he expects to win.
