Prediction: Carl Froch versus Jermaine Taylor

Jermaine Taylor has never been the same since his two difficult losses to Kelly Pavlik. Pavlik has skyrocketed to the top of the middleweight division and is close to a showdown with Arthur Abraham for the ruler of the division while Jermaine hasn't been able to get a main event fight in a while. Carl Froch is a little known British fighter who is coming to the US to make a name for himself with the fight against Taylor. Obviously, Froch couldn't pass up such a big opportunity. Unfortunately for him, he will realize that Jermaine is in another other league entirely. I don't see Froch winning this one and predict he loses via decision to Taylor. Taylor doesn't have the same amount of power at super middleweight as he had at middleweight so I won't predict a KO and give Froch the benefit of the doubt on this one. There are a few British fighters that I believe are the real deal ... Joe Calzaghe, Ricky Hatton and Amir Khan. I don't think Froch is one of them and he will get exposed on Saturday.
