    Im expecting this to be similar to the Bute fight with Groves being pinned against the ropes with nowhere to go and Froch in seek and destroy mode.

    As soon as he gets him going hes not gonna let him off the hook.

    Exactly this. People won't listen though are are predicting a Boxing lesson from Groves as if he is as slick and good defensively as Ward and is as tough as Kessler. He isn't and his chin and defense will be his downfall just like Bute's was.

    McCraken is using his momentum when Froch's punches making it look more scary than it actually is. Groves showed very good speed towards the end which will give Froch allsort's of problems. The only way I see Froch winning this fight is by KO, would not be surprised if Groves puts on a masterclass and makes Froch look one dimensional.

    there's hardly the same intensity from Groves, ridiculous to make comparisons from these two videos. Froch treating it as a workout whereas Groves is treating it more as a photo-shoot.

    Still think Froch by KO mind you. Rounds 6 or 7 imo.

    These video's and padwork in general tell you very little.

    They give you about as much indication as to who will win as the staredown does.

    Exactly no comparison.

    Groves looks very relaxed, Carl like you said is treating it like a work out almost.

    Nobody said pads is fighting but the seriousness Carl is taking it shows you who means business in there.You won't see Carl Froch playing around with mascots and giant gingerbread men or whatever the **** that was meant to be,he's there to inflict damage and that's it.

    I get what your saying jquick but we all know groves tactics are not going to be to come for a war that would be suicidal

    Even if he runs all night, Froch will catch him eventually, probably gets him on the ropes at some point. Hurts him, drops him and then stops him. Its a mismatch.

    No one else not hearing that when Froch hits the pads a sound comes out his mouth? On other hand not one word comes out of Groves mouth.

    Hah you guys are easily impressed...

    Froch looks like he's gonna bust a vein. Forcing his punches like that, he'll run out of steam in a few rounds if he tries that ****. Looks pretty amateurish hammering the pads like that, do that **** on the heavy bag if you want to unleash.
