    This time around there will be no ref around to save Groves from a brutal beatdown. I fear for his life, as the ref will have the last match in mind and not stop the fight in time.

    Hopefully his corner throws in the towel, or he'll end up a vegetable.

    Never had Froch number when he was getting battered stupid in 8th and 9th rounds. Froch will do him damage and stop him, ref stopped groves from being hospitalised. They say defend yourself at all times, Groves turned his back on Froch as couldn't handle punishment

    Groves has no stamina, seen it v DeGale, he lost most of later rounds, and like most people I had DeGale winning. Groves ran out of steam v Froch and there was still 3.5 rounds left, no chance he will go distance with a puncher like Froch. Will be knocked out

    Froch will be exactly the same again, you can't turn the clock back, Father Time has caught up with him and George will end his career inside 3 rounds.

    I don't see what Froch can do differently, Groves couldn't miss him, but tellingly he couldn't get rid of him, and ran out of gas.
    I change my mind every 2 minutes about who wins this fight.

    Groves can moan all he likes about that stoppage but the ginger ***** was turning away from shots with his gloves down, the muppet only has himself to blame.

    He is getting hurt, will be a very different fight this time

    Hang on this is Froch we are talking about right? When has he shown he can adapt and change his style, He won't get any faster, Groves speed will still dominate him, all those right hands he was eating last time he will do the same again, Groves dominated him and schooled him, Groves is faster, bigger puncher, better counter puncher, boxer, he was even able to come off best 9/10 when they went to war. Groves has Froch's number, Has him mentally and physically Froch can't change and has shown it, This fight will be mostly the same except i expect Groves to pace himself and not fade after 8 rounds, Groves TKO 10. Oh and to the idiot who said Groves should fear for his life, i actually would worry for Carl his chin is too good for his own self, took massive shot after massive shot last time and will do the same in May this time though i don't think he will take them all. War Groves

    Dont , just dont think a fighter who was slurring his words for three days is the same fighter afterward.

    Also in no way did Froch win the last fight period , this is why we are having the rematch.

    Only difference I see in this fight is that Froch is more conservative as he know he can get hurt.

    I see no difference in any rematch.

    No doubt Groves is fav but to say Froch has no chance is nonsense..

    Groves has issues as well, not only froch....he gasses, am still not sure about his chin and he wants to win this via a war rather then box froch

    Groves is the younger, fresher & quicker man who has two options... he can hold the centre of the ring against Froch & smack him with big shots as we seen him do or he can use his superior speed of foot and hands to out box him.

    Froch, people can say or think what they want about him, is one tough tough *******. Been there, seen it all and done it. That said, what is he going to do differently at what 37(?) from the previous fight? George is the one who has it in his locker to make the most and also the necessary adjustments. I don't think the same with Froch, he does really only fight one way.

    I want Groves to win and hope he does it. I can see what he's trying to do with the mind games, he wants Froch in the frame of mind where on fight night he comes forward looking for big shots because he wants to smash seven shades of **** out of George, which then falls into his hands. But Froch has been quite quiet for this one, most likely training like a demon to put things right - I just hope that while Groves is walking about with cardboard cut outs of Froch on London buses he's also putting proper work in in the gym!

    Also for everyone saying Groves will have a much easier night's work boxing on the back foot, a lot of you seem to be the same people saying Groves 'gases' in fights. Boxing on the back foot means a **** load of movement - so a few people need to make up there mind. I'd rather Groves holds the centre of the ring but is a bit more smarter this time (which I'm sure he will be). If he boxes circles round Carl for such and such rounds, then begins to fade... being near the ropes with Froch turning on the after burners is a bad idea. Degale's proneness to sitting on the ropes is the one reason I think Froch although losing early rounds would end up smashing him to bits.

    Groves improves from last fight
    Froch wil fight the same fight
    Double G will dominate froch even worse this time round and stops froch on his feet. Frocks face will look very messy

    How I see it mate
    Froch fights the same way every fight. The guy is so easy to hit its unreal. GG is a smart kid and will toy with froch and finishes him mid rounds.
