I know. PIGG could've been anyone. I'd never suggest otherwise & have not only just found out that I'm a ****ing idiot in any way shape or form. Anyhoo, Froch vs Groves?
Would have to pick Froch and most likley by stoppage.I dont think Groves hits hard enough to stop Froch doing the same thing he did to Bute.
Groves has the speed, athleticism and technique to get to Carl Froch often, but can he avoid Carl Froch's own attacks..? I think it's a 50/50 fight, not because Groves is that good..? But because i just don't know how hard Groves hits as yet, or what limits are there to his ability. He ended Paul Smith pretty much off one punch, and Paul Smith can take a punch. His performance against James Degale showed he could out box, a decent boxer. These type of fighters can somewhat confused Carl Froch. But then Carl Froch is abit confusing aswell. Lucian Bute looked to have the athleticism, speed, and technical ability to make Froch look like a complete ******, but it did not happen!! Very confusing, and unpredictable match up. To be honest, it's ****ing Carl Froch who is confusing. He's like one of those Zombie's from residents evil, who look ****ing slow. But they are always not far behind, and they are hard to ****ing kill. And they can eat you up too!
i'd pick george groves to win a close decision 115-113, i Think he'd slip froch's jab and land his own counters, and whenever froch tries to close the gap, groves would tie up, froch would probably floor groves once or twice but grove's handspeed, combination punching and footwork would see him through the fight I feel james degale would beat froch by a slightly wider margin perhaps 116-112 type decision.
de gale would get drawn into a fist fight and get dropped around 4or 5 and never recover groves would avoid fighting on the inside of a heavy handed carl froch and spend a good 7/8rounds doing little to no work froch TKOs de gale in about 8rds froch wins a comfortable pts decision 117-111 esque against groves
groves and degale are both slippery customers and as we know froch doesn't bode well by fighters with good upper body, good defensive skills, good hanspeed and athleticism and also youth. Froch is a good enough fighter, but he can be beaten. i think both degale and groves can do it, theirs still a decent shot of groves getting badly KO'ed because he goes to the ropes allot and he can get trapped their and messed up badly, but as far as degale is concerned. his defensive skills and inside fighter would give froch allot of trouble i dont think froch will land enough clean shots and froch would likely lose a lopsided decision just like he did against ward.
Froch doesn't like guys who can box. Groves and DeGale won't come to trade with him, both guys would give Froch hard fights
