The best British fighter around and apparently Sky have no interest. ITV and Setanta don't have the money either apparently. Shame

I was looking forward to this. Watching boxing over the onternet isn't that enticing

I think Froch can win this one.Taylor seems mentally fragile to me

I'll be rooting for Taylor because Froch is an absolute ****. Unfortunately it's more than likely that Froch will be too busy for Taylor and be able to bully him. Taylor struggled with Ouma who was a light middle a while back so the signs are not good. Taylor's best best is to use the jab, box on the outside and hold as soon as Froch gets in close (avoiding Froch's uppercut - slow punch but effective for him if he catches you).

Taylor has talent but I don't think Manny was too impressed with his attitude.

There's delayed coverage(next day, well same day for us) on ITV.

ITV4 at 20:30, and then 23:15 ITV1.

On the topic of boxing, John Duddy just lost to a journeyman by split decision, he's just ruined any chance he had of a title shot.

Taylor should have jumped on him when he had him down. Good finish though.
