Jermain Taylor Vs. Carl Froch This Saturday
I'm somewhat interested in this fight. I like Taylo, and I'd like to see him do well. Here's the details from the fight pulled from the Showtime site:
A household name in his native England, talented, undefeated Carl Froch will look to make a major statement — and enhance his reputation in America — when he defends his WBC super middleweight title against one of the most highly regarded and recognizable fighters of this generation, former undisputed middleweight belt-holder Jermain Taylor. The task, however, will not be simple for Froch, who won the 168-pound title one start after appearing on ShoBox: The New Generation. Taylor, a bronze medalist for the United States in the 2000 Olympic Games, has had a prolific pro career. Taylor, who earned this shot by dominating Jeff Lacy, has defeated four former world champions and is the only boxer to twice whip future Hall of Famer Bernard Hopkins. The winner of what will be an excellent scrap could fight next in a world title elimination bout in a division that is one of the deepest, most interesting in boxing today. You can bet that current super middle champs Mikkel Kessler and Lucian Bute will be riveted to their television sets to watching Froch-Taylor — and so should you!
The fight is this Saturday, and begins at 9PM ET.
