    The weigh in told us without any shadow of a doubt that GG has come in light for speed/stamina to work on the outside all night... box and run like he did against Degale.

    Froch will try and take centre of the ring and work his jab like he did against Kessler in the rematch.

    If they both stay calm and fight to plan, Groves will win on the bridle... 118-110.

    BUT

    as soon as that crowd go wild, will either lose it and try to engage?

    if they do then there is a far greater chance of Froch KO GG than the other way around.

    Unfortunately, I think GG will get swayed by most of the crowd supporting him and engage at some point, he might pull it off and KO his opponent, but coming in light I dont see it... in which case he will get stopped inside the distance.

    I think Groves can't resist a tear-up and Froch stops him late.

    if he fights toe to toe it will be an early KO... he has to fight smart for 12.

    :deal Pretty much how I see it, Groves is the better boxer and if he sticks to his boxing and uses his ring iq then he should win but I see him starting to tire and will eventually start trading with Froch and I see him getting stopped.

    Yep, regardless of all his talk about knocking Froch out, Groves probably will try to box smart this time and out point Froch. If an opportunity to get a KO arises he will try to take it but he won't go looking for it.

    Groves has been saying things like "Froch can't win" because he knows if he boxes smart and doesn't make mistakes, he should be able to out box Froch. He has also said he can go 12 rounds no problem and has mentioned getting into his 'rhythm'. I think he's expecting a 12 round fight. The Hagler/Hearns thing is likely a bluff.

    I think the Degale fight showed Groves can avoid the temptation of a tear up but it could be different this time because it's a bigger event and Froch puts on a different type of pressure. I would be very surprised if Groves made the same mistakes as he did in the 1st fight though

    Enjoy the fight, in any fight both can win.... but I very clearly stated I believe CF will win by ko/tko.

    Cheers

    Fly in the ointment is the large support for Groves... he is still young enough and inexperienced enough to get swayed and drift off plan.

    I concluded with

    but coming in light I dont see it... in which case he will get stopped inside the distance.

    Stop being so angry with life... its your fault you are where you are.

    Problem is you WILL stay there as you just divert anger from the issues.

    Good luck. :good

    No, just to make it quite clear, as you seem to get confused very easily... which is understandable.

    I firmly believe Froch will win by TKO/KO.
