I'm starting to think Groves / Booth may have got their timing spot on!!!

    Groves can hurt Froch who is not the indestructable monster some think!

    Groves will run like **** in this fight. Froch will stop him inside 8 rounds. I can see Groves winning a few early rounds tho.

    He can hurt him but no more IMO than anyone before which means he isnt going to stop Froch or extremely unlikely to.

    But the other way round Froch can stop Groves. Just my opinion.

    This is exactly how I see it and is the only way he can beat Froch and is the only way that anyone can beat Froch, he got a bit lucky with Dirrell and Taylor couldnt quite stay away for full 12 ok by seconds but Froch will not stop trying to get at you..

    I dont see what Groves has that is better to anyone prior to this fight.

    If he tries the Dirrell tactics he will get beat as Dirrell did.

    Ultimately he needs to make Froch respect him.

    Real question is how many times will the term Warrior be used

    Joking aside looking forward to this, might even get tickets.

    One thing is for sure. Two warriors are going to meet in the gladatorial ring and take warriorship to a new level. Expect an epic battle between two warriors.

    I had him losing,I score points for aggression and the tale of that whole fight was Dirrell basically running away from Froch for 12 rounds.

    Theres a line between boxing and running and Dirrell crossed it,no way did he deserve to win a world title in Frochs backyard with a performance like that.Youve got to take the title,not try and steel it by running.

    Dirrell is not a warrior though. Groves is a warrior. If Groves (a warrior) fights Froch (also a warrior) then we have TWO warriors present in the gladatorial ring. That means two warriors will be going at it, rather than one warrior against one boxer. I think it's important we dwell at length on this...

    lol, question is will Groves the warrior turn up as a warrior against Froch the warrior or will he turn up as a boxer?

    I agree. Froch gonna smash Groves to bits.
    Groves has beaten the corpse of Glen Johnson n a couple of other stiffs.
    Froch battered Kessler, and finished Bute IMO.
    Froch is too big, too strong, too experienced and too good for George.
    George boxed DeGale, as Degale prefers to counter and can't lead or cut off the ring.
    Froch can fight off the back foot, but is equally happy to lead, he's great at cutting off the ring, as he doesn't mind getting tagged forcing his opponent where he wants them to go. Look at how he walked through Kessler to force him backwards, look what he did to Bute.
    I'd say Kessler is stronger than GG, and punches harder.
    GG getting stopped mid rounds.

    Absolutely, by 2 points if I remember right.

    Have re-watched it plenty of times as I was there that night. Do not see how so many saw it for Dirrell.

    I am not someone who will score for a fighter for just walking forward either.
