    I thought Froch was winning by a round in the rematch and lost pretty much every round dominantly in the first fight certainly nothing to shout about.

    Groves on points he hits to hard and make dirrell cautious in committing and just run and pot shot.

    I personally think Groves should have a good 6 month rest. He looks tired in last two fights.

    I agree Spencer Fearon also said the same thing on a sky sports podcast

    It won't be Andre he's fighting, it'll be Anthony.

    think groves' workrate will win him a decision if he can avoid being ko'd,

    best guess is it'll be one of those fights where groves throws more, but dirrell lands the better shots, think groves wins this in the UK, may not get a decision in USA though.

    Anthony Dirrell is a very average belt holder, if Groves doesn't get caught with a big shot then he will school Dirrell. I don't think he'd beat Andre Dirrell and Degale would take care of Groves if they rematched.

    Groves has being exposed as being extremely fragile and will struggle against anyone who is durable with stamina, who possesses average ability and power. I think Anthony Dirrell is one of the many fighters that fall into this category.

    As long as groves has a decent break and comes into this in top nick he will win

    looks like they will be going in a different direction now...

    Hearns has been talking Groves-DeGale 2 as the next up fight guess it will be for the vacant IBF title

    there is only one there used to be the up and coming groves under booth , now all that is left is the pre took a bad beating earlish on in his career and then got brutally ktfo
    i said it before and i will say it again i hope that 2 mill he got for that fight is well invested , froch as took valuble time off groves career which in turn equals to earning potential ,
    be careful what you wish for a loss to degale would finish the ginger kids career thats why this fight dont happen anytime soon imo
