 Live on Showtime, Saturday April 25, 2009 at the MGM Grand Theatre in Mashantucket, CT.  Jermain Taylor (28-2-1) will take on Carl Froch (24-0) for Froch’s WBC super middleweight title.  British fans wil be rooting on their only reigning champion Carl “The Cobra” Froch and the U.S will be pulling for their former middleweight champion Jermain “Bad Intentions” Taylor. 

This will be Froch’s biggest fight to date and away from his territory. Froch will look and needs a big win if he is to get his name known in the States. In his last fight he took out Jean Pascal a very tough Canadian fighter handing him his first loss via unanimous decision and winning  the WBC super middleweight title.

Taylor is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Jeff “Left Hook” Lacy back in November of 2008. While losing his his last two fights prior to the former champ Kally Pavlik. Taylor has faced much tougher competition than Froch, actually it doesn’t even compare. Froch is coming in very confident and cocky which may or may not play into his favor. Expect to see Froch lay it on all the line and Taylor has vowed to show the old Taylor with a big win.

Sign up and one of our Sportsbooks and place a bet on your fighter.  The odds are actually much closer than I had imagined.

Here is the fight between Krzysztof Soszynski vs. Briann Stann at UFC 97. Soszynski looked very impressive in his second UFC fight taking a first round Kimura vicory and his second in a row.

Here is the fight between Mauricio Rua vs. Chuck Liddel at UFC 97. Liddell was once again on the wrong end of a big punch. Mauricio Rua knocked down Chuck late in the first round, then got on top and landed punches until the ref stepped in. Chuck has now lost four of his last five fights.
