    Carl rocked George more than a few times with his jab in the first fight.

    Let's not rewrite history even more.

    He didn't land a jab, let alone 'rock' the ******* with one.

    I can't post links, but go to youtube, find the fight, press play, wait for 0.51 seconds to go in the second round and tell me he didn't land a jab.

    C'mon, I've come here for a sensible discussion, no need to make things up to give yourself false confidence. Carl is sending Groves to sleep. FACT.

    **** off. I've watched the fight enough times. Froch, at best, touched Groves a couple of times with a petrified left poke on the retreat. That's it. Don't remember one full jab landing clean. Or Froch even attempting one.

    WEll, there's not a lot I can say to that. You sound like one of the blinkered fanboys who have given me an insane price on Froch.

    Froch is on a different level to Groves. So many people will be eating humble pie on Sunday.

    Can. Not. Wait.

    Getting caught cold in the 1st round with a huge punch and legs crossed but still getting up from it and fighting on isn't a sign that his punch resistance is going. Lets be honest, Froch could easily have been concussed from that punch yet still fought on, took more bombs and was walking through punches by the end. No one can answer this but let's say that Froch was concussed from that punch yet still went on to win, what chance has George got on Saturday? Sure he could land another shot like that but Froch isn't likely to leave himself that open that early.

    All this talk from Groves about early knock outs makes me laugh. He literally hit a badly shaken up Froch with everything but he couldn't get him out of there. If you watch round 9 again, Froch was beginning to stalk him. How can Groves possibly get him out of he here. Doesn't happen if you ask me.

    Get No Argument out of me mate ,, Punch resistance is the first to go , Froch did get knocked down , but that was first round caught cold , rnd 9 i agree Frochs head had cleared he was warmed up and starting to walk through George .

    More i think about it the more i think Froch will work behind a high gaurd for the first few rnds , and then just walk him down and stop him .
