Carl Froch Vs Jermain Taylor

Carl Froch Vs Jermain Taylor

This fight is coming soon, and i must say hats off to Carl Froch, this is the first defense of his WBC title which he won by beating Jean Pascall, and he has not picked any easy opponent to defend the title against.

Jermain Taylor is a world class boxer, who has fought world class fighters like, Bernard Hopkins, Winky Right, Kelly Pavlik, so i think we can safely say this is a big step up in class for Carl Froch. Carl Froch has not fought anyone that was near to world class and in their prime, other then Jean Pascall, and it is questionable whether he was world class or not, personally i think Pascall is no where near the class, or experience level of Jermain Taylor. The only other boxer of any stature that Carl Froch fought was Robin Reid, but he was right at the end of his career.

This is the big test for Carl Froch, winning this fight will certainly catapult him into the big time in the USA, big time big money. But if Carl Froch loses, and depending how he loses, he will be looked at as a hyped up domestic club fighter who won the vacant WBC title and couldn't even defend it once.

But there some advantages for Carl Froch fighting Jermain Taylor, one is that Taylor has already tasted defeat, and has also been knocked out. Second is Taylor has a tendency to keep his hands low, perfect for Carl Frochs uppercuts and over hand punches, keeping the hands low is a dangerous thing to do because Carl does have some power. But on the other hand, Carl Froch could be at a disadvantage because of his terrible guard, he keeps one hand by his side most of the time, which again is a dangerous thing to do against Jermain Taylor. This fight is also taking place in the USA, so home advantage goes to Taylor.

This is an interesting fight, both fighters keep their hands low, both fighters have good power, so this will be an explosive fight, with all the ingredients for a knockout either way. I very much doubt this fight will go the distance.

Carl Froch deserves some respect win or lose against Jermain Taylor, he it taking on a live, world class opponent for his first WBC title defense, which is more then most other boxers have the backbone do for their first defense.

Carl Froch Vs Jermain Taylor

Well, talks are going on at the moment for Carl Froch Vs Jermain Taylor. This will be Carl Froch's first WBC Super Middle Weight Title Defense. Jermain Taylor is a good fight for Froch, no one can say he is taking the easy route as Taylor is known as a good fighter, one of best in the division.

This should be a great fight, both fighters always come to fight and are always in great shape. I would say Carl Froch is taking a step up here in terms of a higher profiled opponent, and also skill level, Jermain Taylor does have some good boxing skills and can dish out some punishment.

As we seen against Jean Pascal, Carl Froch can take some superb punches, he has good punch resistance, but i would say Jermain Taylor does hit harder then Pascal. In the Carl Froch Vs Jean Pascal fight, Carl did get caught with way too many hard punches, although he took them well, will he be able to take the same amount of punches if Jermain Taylor is the one doing the punching?, not Pascal.

Carl Froch needs to work on his defense if he wants to stand a chance against the best super middle weight fighters. I do think he will beat Jermain Taylor but he will take many solid punches doing so. Carl Froch has good punching power so i wouldn't be surprised if Carl Froch Knocks Out Taylor, let's not forget, Taylor has been Knocked out a few times, and Froch definately has the power. I would love to see Carl Froch Vs Kelly Pavlik if Carl Beats Taylor, that would be a great fight.

Carl Froch Vs Jermain Taylor should be interesting, i see Froch winning, but it could go either way. I doubt this fight will go the distance, one of them will get knocked out.
