British TV reviews and so much more. I've really just about had it with all you scumbags. Aerial Telly forever - worthless Twitter groupie slime never.
"a depressing but brilliant read.... a superbly written manifesto for nothing." Daniel Hart
Turdmain Failure will show Carl Froch that there is more to boxing than the ability to be punched in the face repeatedly without falling over
No really Carl, there is
On April 25, Nottingham's Carl Froch will step into the ring at Foxwoods Resort Casino, Connecticut to defend the WBC super middleweight belt he won in December against Canadian Jean Pascal. Froch is a hard-hitting, unbeaten 31-year-old with 19 knockouts in his 24 victories. The man he faces is Jermain Taylor, a man relatively new to the super middleweight division, having spent much of his career at 160. In the considered opinion of the world's greatest boxing handicapper Skybet's 1.91 on Taylor is a very nice bet. And it goes a little something like this.
"Look at Jermain Taylor - a guy who is 2-0 with Bernard Hopkins, an all-time great who drew with the terrific Winky Wright, both vastly superior fighters to Froch."
What is striking about this bout is the disparity between the opponents each has faced. Look at Jermain Taylor - a guy who is 2-0 with Bernard Hopkins, an all-time great, who drew with the terrific Winky Wright, both vastly superior fighters to Froch. His two defeats came to Kelly Pavlik, a fighter better than anyone Froch has ever faced, and Taylor came within a second or two of knocking out Pavlik in the first fight.
"It is scarcely believable how open Froch was in the Pascal fight - his constantly low hanging left leaving him open to Pascal's wild swinging haymakers."
He can look lackadaisical at times, particularly against inferior or awkward opposition like Cory Spinks. But if he is focused, as I believe he will be for this fight, he is a fiercely determined, powerful and talented boxer who has spent his career swimming in waters way deeper than Froch has even dreamt of.
For his part, Froch showcased his power and chin in his defeat of Pascal. But it is scarcely believable how open Froch was in that fight - his constantly low hanging left leaving him open to Pascal's wild swinging haymakers. He has a very good beard but he needs to with a defence like that. Taylor sounds very motivated to get his title belt back after his losses to Pavlik. Froch is an exciting fighter but has a lot of flaws in his game - flaws I think Taylor will expose.
"It's rare for two fighters to be this close in the betting when there is such a glaring difference in the quality of opposition they have faced. If the real Jermain Taylor turns up for this one, Froch is in all kinds of trouble."
Froch has spent much of his career calling out Joe Calzaghe and there are some boxing fans who believe that he would beat the retired undefeated Welshman. To them I say: shut the fuck up. Calslappy wins every second of every round against this mope. Seriously: do any of you ever actually watch boxing? Aerial Telly does not expect everyone or indeed anyone to have his devastating insight into the fight game but, please - Froch beats Calzaghe? Don't make me laugh.
It's rare for two fighters to be this close in the betting when there is such a glaring difference in the quality of opposition they have faced. If the real Jermain Taylor turns up for this one, Froch is in all kinds of trouble. 1.91 is good business.
