    those right hands to the ribcage under the groves jab were plenty significant.

    So was Groves Jab which made Frochs leg stiffen like he had been hit with an electric shock

    If there are question marks over anyones chin it's Froch's. Once they crack they don't come back.

    At no point did Groves look close to being hurt, a little tired perhaps but not hurt.

    That shot in the first round by GG would have KO'd most fighters. The way he came back from that monster punch and it was a monster punch...GG couldn't of landed any better. He carried on and swallowed another 40 odd power punches to the chin. That suggests to me his chin is OK.

    I'm telling you body shots will be the key to this fight, That was Froch's plan in the first fight before it all went out the window with the 1st round knock down.

    Froch has shown ridiculous chin throughout his career but the guys been in too many wars and always eats too many flush shots. Groves cracked it in his last fight, this time round it may well shatter for good

    You might be right, he showed superhuman punch resistance in that 6th round but how long can his chin last? Pacs chin was regarded as one of the best in the game until KO6, Groves might just be his Marquez

    How much did that last fight take out of Froch? You have to take his age and the amount of wars he's been in into consideration. Groves hurt Froch badly, I'm wondering if he's even recovered from that.

    Anyway, I'm confident Groves beats Froch. I'm torn between a stoppage somewhere between the 7th and 10th or on points. I hope Groves has improved his stamina, that is definitely his main weakness but he'll fight even more smarter than he did in the first fight. Groves has tremendous speed and he's great at timing his power shots.
