Only in our beloved sport could a guy coming of two consecutive defeats get a title shot. Jermaine Taylor will probably defeat Froch but he should have to earn the title shot by facing some tough contenders first and racking up a win or two.
I wish Joe and Kelly would have met for a really world-class showdown. Still the "swan song" fight of great champions like Calzaghe and Jones will be very interesting. I won't miss it.

I a big Jones fan but, I think Calzaghe will be too much for him. We shall see.
