    Can Taylor survive a Benn assault to win?

    Nigel becomes the first black guy to ice Taylor. Benn KO 5.

    Taylor would not underestimate Benn's dangerousness as he did with Pavlik the first time out and since Benn is not as good a boxer as Pavlik, I'd give Taylor a solid chance to pull out a decision

    Benn sparks him sooner or later. Anyone who can be put on ice by Carl Froch does not want to be in the ring with a puncher like Benn. Taylor will probably start well enough, but his stamina was woeful and then he gets caught.

    A knockout either way is likely in this fight. Not going the distance! :nono: Make no mistake...Taylor couldn't take Benn's punches for long...and the reverse is also true.

    Gimme Benn though.

    as crude and flawed as he was, Benn was a legitimate banger and I think his crazed aggressive assault would bother Taylor immensely... I like Nigel by KO within 8 in this one... but it is possible with Benn that he runs into a right hand and gives Taylor the chance to start punishing him

    I figure 80% of the time it would end up with Benn by KO

    I'd root for Jermain to keep the "streak" alive. :lol:
