Froch V Groves

[Qwerty]

Who do you want to Win? Who do you think will win? Or are you not even Bovvered and don't know what the fuss is about.

I'll be routing for Froch. Groves constant trumpet blowing and attempts to get under Frochs skin is getting a tad tiresome. He did the same against Degale and OK it's certainly added to the fight and created a rivalry not seen since Benn & Eubank, but its beginning to grate.

To be fair though, Groves has created most of this and without his winding up we may not have seen this fight again and certainly not at Wembley in front of 80000. Big money for the pair of them.

As for who I think will win.. Hard to call. Groves early or Froch late. I'm not sure it'll be the same kind of tear up we saw last time. But Im still anticipating a great fight.

I don't do boxing, but I'm really tempted to buy this on box office as I think it will be a cracking fight. A really close call on who will win but I think Groves may edge it.

I think Froch will be better prepared this time. I think his ego got the better of him last time around and as Groves wasn't a world class name, just assumed it would be a straight forward pay day on the way to a bigger fight. I can't see him making the same mistakes he made at the start of the last fight and think he might win it reasonably comfortably.

Groves has done an outstanding job in the build up to both fights to get the anticipation and hype up, and last time round I think he really got under Froch's skin. Think Groves is a decent fighter but Froch will be well prepared and have too much for him right from the start this time.

groves in the 7th. 33/1 thats where rooters money is at!!

Having seen the first fight and listening to the arrogance of Froch i would like to see him out on his ass

Think Groves will do it as well - in the 9th

Really warmed to Groves when he was on Soccer AM last week. He seemed confident and relaxed and I think he might just win this time. When asked about his feelings towards Froch he said "I nothing him"

I won't pay for it though and don't really watch boxing these days as I've gone soft and find it too brutal! I used to love it and was at Loftus Road to see Barry McGuigan defeat Pedroza for his first world title - what a night that was.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Tough one to call but I'll go Groves.

 

[Birchy]

Froch will nobble him this time mark my words. Groves got lucky with his approach last time and I think Froch underestimated him.

Its like an FA cup replay where the non league team gets smashed up big time.

Groves doesn't have it in him to KO Froch and he wont be able to last the distance.

Have to agree with Brecht and the footy analogy. Frochs arrogance almost cost him last time. I think he's egging groves on about a 3 round tear up. Will go out there for a few rounds and defend well then take him out. I have £100 on the win for froch, put on the spot I'd say inside 6.

Are either boxers actually that good, world class, or is it just hype because they are both British ?

Don't think they are World Class or at the top of the boxing tree - both very good boxers though.

Froch has proven pedigree and beaten some top fighters so I would say yes for him.

Groves is a little oik who talks a good fight but isn't in the same class imo.

I think Froch has proven himself. Groves has potential to be good. This fight will tel us whether groves got lucky and froch underestimated him.

Also, the British public love a good old rivalry. How many people paid to watch fraudley Harrison when he fell out with hayemaker.

Did you actually watch their first fight?

 

[Papas1982]

Did you actually watch their first fight?

I think this fight will answer that. Was froch simply out fought, or caught of his guard?

Phil this statement just shows how little you know about boxing.

Carl Froch currently holds the IBF & WBA super middleweight belts, if that's not world class then I don't know what is.

A very good friend of mine who knows a coach for the GB team says Froch is doing 15 round spars and walloping his sparring partners.

Groves is a very talented boxer with an exceptional jab and don't forget the last fight was his first world title fight.

 

[Birchy]

Did you actually watch their first fight?

Yes i did. That does not change any of them 2 statements that i have made.

Groves had a chance due to Froch being complacent, he will not get that chance this time.

Groves needs to knock Froch out to beat him, that is just not going to happen.

 

[c1973]

To close to call for me. I'm not sure whether Froch got caught out or if Groves has the beating of him. Might have a flutter on Groves in the 9th to give me an interest though.

 

[G1BB0]

Froch all the way for me, hard as nails and will be way better prepared this time. I fancy a knockout/stoppage in or before the 5th

 

[Adi2Dassler]

Don't like either so I'm just hoping for a brutal but long encounter
