    My head says no Froch is too strong and theres only one ending to this and thats with Groves on the canvas. However my heart says that this could turn out to be totally the opposite of this and Groves could school Froch and make him look bad. I know Groves has some skill and can also punch but are they in different leagues? Im not sure. I want to put money on this fight as the odds arent too bad for either fighter depending on how you look at it. What do you think guys>??

    No he is going to get annihilated. Froch is going to swarm him down to nothing.

    Groves couldn't beat de gale and he thinks he''s got frochs number.

    Degale not even as big puncher as froch rocked him a number of times and groves has been known to hit the canvas regularly in sparring.

    The ginger kid is in way over his head, he's going to look pretty stupid on the 23rd.

    I think he'll lose, but of course he stands a chance. The guy is on the verge of being a world class fighter. He won't out-tough Froch, but he could out box him.

    Ssy people that say froch destroys him are living in the past and just see Groves fight vs Degale. I pick Groves because he has improved his skills since then.....I think people overlook his boxing IQ, Speed, and his footwork is very underrated. My prediction is Groves makes Froch looks his age and batters him with a TKO stoppage in the 10th.

    Groves stylistically is a horrible match up for Froch. Very good handspeed, boxes well off the backfoot with a fast hard jab. Uses good angles and lateral movement. Can see Froch getting very frustrated in there. Odds are lovely on a GG decision

    Bad comparison, DeGales a southpaw, much faster than Froch and Groves was still beating him to the punch a lot of the time

    It don't fcuking matter.

    GG is going to get his shiit pushed in. He can't take a punch and de gale is not as explosive as froch. Plus froch is just as awkward to fight against as degale.

    Degale is a C+ fighter and caused groves all sorts of problems. Froch is an elite fighter who has been in with the best and you think some bald headed ginger kid(who has mainly beaten guys taken off the street corner,looking for a quick buck) is going to take it to a decision and win?

    Get the fcuk outta here!

    On the backfoot using raid tactics he can frustrate froch that's for sure.

    He's also got the power to crack that granite chin.

    Taylor, Direll all done it. So can groves. My only fear is thay he gases and Cobra finds him in the second part of the Fight.
