    I want the young gun to spring the upset, so many people are going for a quick Froch K.O, and unless Groves gets sloppy and does a Bute and sits on the ropes and lets Froch unload i don't see it happening. Froch could still win on points but then so could Groves. Mismatch NO!

    I expect Froch by late stoppage or points but hope Groves wins.

    Groves by UD 7-5 or 8-4 or maybe a SD in favour of Groves.

    Im convinced Groves stops Froch.

    Froch thinks he can just walk through Groves but all hes going to do is walk right onto a huge shot at some point.

    Groves throws huge punches from weird angles and Froch is not exactly difficult to hit.

    Groves to win 4-5 of the first seven rounds, then get dragged into a brawl and arse tapped in front of a baying mob.

    Other way round, Froch KO's Groves within 6 rounds.

    Froch by TKO around the 7th or 8th i expect Groves will look good early on probably win some early rounds but Carl's pressure will be to much eventually Carl start catching him and when he does he will take him out IMO

    Because it's predicting that two judges will score for fighter A and the third judge will have it for fighter B. To be truly confident you'd have to know each of the judges scoring history very well and see that they are sufficiently split 2/1 on two fairly distinct styles. It then requires fighters whom not only have those styles but are sure to have a full, close match based upon excellent knowledge of their history with each other's style/attributes and their current conditions. ...And that's not even taking into consideration the prevalent corruption/incompetence!
