Carl Froch "Groves punches hard could prove me wrong"

seen

Froch, who was dropped by Groves in their first bout and shaken up a few times in their exchanges, confirms that his former foe does pack a big punch.

"Trust me, he can punch and even against a proper super-middleweight, he is big. He will also bring a lot of experience and confidence now he is a world champion, but I think we are all aware of that," Froch said to Sky Sports.

"But what happens when - and if - Groves gets that right going? Eubank Jr has never taken anything like that before. He might suddenly think 'jeez, I am not going to be able to swarm him', because Groves is actually not just a decent boxer but one who can punch. Hard.

Despite the claims being made by Groves, who says he badly hurt Eubank during sparring sessions, Froch predicts that there will be no issues with Eubank being capable of taking Groves' shots.

However, Froch does admit that Groves is a very live dog in the contest and could very well pull off an 'upset' - and some will view it as an upset because Eubank has become the betting favorite heading into the fight.

"I actually believe he will. I know he is a hard, hard kid. I hit him as hard as I could in sparring but he just looked at me, shrugged and went at it again. Yes, we're talking about 16oz gloves and headguards back then and the fact that I know Groves can bang, but there is just something about Eubank Jr, that he won't be stopped. That doesn't mean he can't be beaten, though," Froch said.

"I know Eubank Jr is fitter but he's not that fit. He doesn't work for every second of every round, he only works in bursts and then needs a breather. Groves could keep him on the end of his jab, then tag him with a couple of those big rights - with little gloves - that Eubank Jr has never felt before. No, I am not changing my mind and I am still sticking with Eubank Jr winning, but the more I look at this, the more I hear Eubank Jr talk, the more I see him on the pads, in those sharp but short spurts, there is a very real chance groves can prove me wrong"

 

the key thing here is eubank will feel power he never felt before but the same cant be said for groves he felt much more power

Groves just need to keep him at the end of the hard jab and break him down

 

You think groves is like the other bums eubank has faced lol?

groves is bigger then saunders and is more dangerous

 

jnr has never fought anyone as dangerous as groves

 

maybe but he has close to the skill level and has much more power and has a stronger jab when you also factor this in then he is a much tougher fight

ill ask you this so you think saunders is a tougher fight then groves?

 

eubank is the fav and he is fighting a faded groves but I still even pick this groves to win

 

eubank is the fav according to the bookies he is the fresher fighter and I said I still pick groves
