    Chunky a counter puncher whos poor at coming forward and poor on his front foot. Froch is decent coming forward

    If the ref were applying equal standards to both fighters, he would have stopped him in the first, so...

    tbh groves was easilly getting to froch with quick sharp jabs last time, and coming off the jab

    If the KD would've happened with a minute left in the round, I think Groves would've stopped Froch in the 1st.

    Froch looked mighty shaky at the bell after another couple of right hands landed by Groves.

    Froch did take the punches well after that though. Groves either needs to get him early or be more controlled/cautious and outbox Froch over 12.

    He'll be throwing many more straight rights 'rart daarn the parp'. Froch can take hooks all night long; straights are the key.

    Let's not forget that Froch was floored by Groves in the last fight. What saved him is Groves backing up not Froch's chin. I would hope that if Groves is given the same chance this time he won't make the same mistake twice.

    What, lose a close but clear one and get the decision because the crowd are cheering for him?

    Disagree, I think he needs to go in there and hold the centre of the ring again.

    Froch is in for a torrid 3 rounds and will be glad when the fight is waved off, he will have taken the mother of all beatings.

    I think Groves knows he can hurt Froch and early.. I think he will let Froch come forward more in the rematch and counter punch. If he lands as clean as he did in the first on Froch's chin he will stop him. There is more a argument that Froch should of been stopped in that fight.

    Froch took a flush right hand on the bell and it had no effect.

    Groves has no hook, froch has probably dodge more hookers on the streets of Nottingham and you expect him to be worried by a hook?
