    Don't get me wrong Groves is a good fighter/boxer with solid fundamentals, but he is by no means an Andre Dirrell... Groves is going to get hit and he wont like it... People who believe Groves can dance around for 12 rounds and win a UD are delusional.

    Froch is going to walk Groves down and finish him off between the 4th and the 9th round.

    I'm one of the people who thinks groves will win. Expect a master class!! He will draw faints which froch will walk into and will be landing all night

    It's like picking Cleverly over Kovalev, but in this case they're both from the same Isle.

    So maybe it's about hoping they have someone in their mids who's actually better as Froch so he might have a decent chance against Ward too. :think

    Maybe Groves has got something I haven't seen yet... Groves best wins are Degale and Gelcoffe... This is a big step up in competition for Groves and I'm having trouble seeing how he will make it a master class!!

    People who think Froch is some wrecking machine who can only be beat by elite p4p boxers are deluding themselves.

    Why? Only elite boxers have beaten him. Look at what he did to Bute who was merely very good. Hats off to Groves if he pulls this off but I can't see it happening (that said, I haven't seen him since he fought DeGale - but the fighter I saw that night would have no chance).

    Between 4th and 9th is not a range prediction I'm used to. :lol:

    I wouldn't consider Kessler or Dirrell elite p4p boxers.

    Groves has this. I can tell Groves is a man possessed. He wants this more than Froch.

    Going to be a MASSIVE upset here.

    Haha :rofl Groves has a decent chin but he could fold like a 2 7 off suit when he realises he is in too deep...

    Prime Kessler was elite - Froch beat Direll.

    He didn't really beat Dirrell and Kessler wasn't prime when Froch fought him. Even Prime Kessler wasn't elite, he lost to elite guys like Calzaghe and Ward.
