Groves out jabbing Froch. Froch has one of the best jabs in SMW, just ask Kessler how great a Jab Froch have, even though Froch are not fast he is not as slow at people are saying. No, Froch don't have 1 punch KO, but he grind his opponent down with his heavy hands. Again Kessler have iron beard and was close to being stopped in the 12th in their remacth in Nottingham. I would say Froch stops Groves around 8-10. Don't get me wrong, I like Groves and it won't be a one sided fight Groves will get his round early on but as the fight goes on Froch will be grinding him down.
Groves will not beat Froch and he would have absolutely zero chance against Andre Ward. Ward is an exceptional talent and It will take someone a lot better than groves to beat him.
Theseare two of my favourites....Froch for me has nothing to prove, and I don't really want to see the lad have many more fights.So I in a way thinks a new kid on the block may be no bad thing.......BUT I haven't. Got a clue who will win....GREAT can't wait:happy
If anyone is rattled, it's definitely Carl. He is losing the plot at the moment, it's becoming embarrassing.
If Booth was still in the corner I would expect a very similar gameplan to the DeGale fight. In fact I'm still expecting Groves to stick to a very rigid, low risk strategy. Even so, Froch is a couple of steps above anything he has faced, and I expect emotions to be running high, so an out an out slug match (in short bursts) is not out of the question. Froch has this, but it will not be easy.
Froch is slow and Groves is better skilled, I think he'll do a "pickpocket job" on November 23rd, people writing him off are crazy in my opinion and I think he is Froch's toughest test since Ward. Kessler was seen by a lot of people as a little shopworn and past it when he and Froch first fought in 2010, so was he suddenly young again when they fought over 3 years later ? lol, Bute was a paper champ who fell apart against Andrade so was no real surprise when what happened, happened when Bute was fighting in Nottingham in front of 10.000 Brits and Yusef Mack was a plain bum. Groves takes this guys, trust me! I actually see it looking a little similar to the Bradley-Marquez fight last week.
Early success for George, eventually walked down by Froch. Groves average defence and chin leading to a 2nd half stoppage.
