    Here's a nice interview with both camps. I'm agrein with Groves that the fight was stopped prematurley. And this is boxing and the world championship level and if you're still standing and not even touched the deck you shouldn't be stopped simple as that really.

    However at the time it didn't look good for Geroge and we all know what a good finnisher Froch is.

    But still I'm going for George in this fight and going for a late TKO or a UD and to quote the pointer sisters "I'm so excited".

    Too close to call, but the way I see it is if Froch wins he has to go through hell first like last time while if Groves wins it may well be by early-ish stoppage. Interesting to see if Groves will adapt his gameplan to go the distance or if he comes out swinging again.

    Prices have evened out a bit at the bookies, Groves is into 13/8 best price from 15/8 and Froch is best priced 8/13 when he was 1/2 a few days ago when betting opened. All polls I've seen have been almost 50-50 including this one so I think the betting will even out a little more.

    Interesting to see if opinion will shift either way as the fight gets closer.

    Froch isn't hard to outbox early, though. He just wears you down, and I see that happening again.

    Froch can be out boxed. Will Froch train harder this time. Did Groves learn from the last fight?

    Credit to Froch for taking this fight and giving fans what they want.

    He has the steel set of balls you only find in a Brit. :deal

    Polls accurate.But if there was anyone capable of knocking out Froch it was Jermain Taylor with that blasting right hand in the 3rd rd.That big punch really was a wopper.Jermain Taylor had the power to knock out Froch, but stamina failed him.

    I hope this fight will be as exciting as fans believe it will be. It should be a good one. I really can't pick a winner, but Froch will probably be in better shape than in the first fight, however, perhaps Groves will be in better shape also, so.......................that is the question.................

    This. Groves knows he can outbox Froch, he just needs to pace himself. Pick him off with the jab and just keep moving, using his speed and Froch's poor defence to his advantage. I'm going for Groves on points.

    If he didn't take the fight he'd have to relinquish the belt, I wouldn't give him too much credit "for giving the fans what they want".

    I see groves TKOing froch late in the fight in a war.
