    On ringside last night Froch was all over the place as Groves put him on the spot, Froch did well not to punch groves but seems to be rattled by groves, this is my third thread about this fight and last prob but i think groves has won the verbals and has the style to beat froch , don t know about the ko but he s the one who seems to be in control of his emotions where froch is struggling and is doing what he wanted to do to groves, on fight night he ll be fighting a guy who s ready, froch did not no what was happening and even said it on the show, any body see the fight going different to how they originally predicated ??

    Mind games don't mean much, as soon as groves is hit on the chin we'l see how he handles it. Groves hasn't fought anyone near the level of froch.

    Groves should hit and move

    Quick combinations and get the hell out the way.

    I might put money on him

    I didnt think he lost the mind games. Personally I saw a guy who wanted to rip that little ***** Groves head off and a scared Groves trying to goad him.

    Froch got angry that doesn't mean he mentally lost. Groves desperately trying to bait him tells me more about Groves mindset. Groves is the unsure one, not Froch.

    When that bell rings Groves only hope is to hit & run.

    Froch is as nervous as hell, wether that will affect him on fight night is another question. Groves is one of those guys that can really wind someone up without really being insulting or offensive, first time I've ever seen a fighter really rattle Froch.

    I cant see him ' putting that chump to sleep' but if hit and run is whats needed to win fight then so be it , it confirms that groves has a few ways to box froch where as froch has the one way ,come foward use his face to block shots while trying to get his off, groves will have to be at his best in all area s especially in fitness department, but its not a gimme for froch , he just does nt want to have to give groves a shot when it took him ages to get where he is and could lose it all and thats all she wrote for him, be a good fight , groves is a good fighter and boxer, and froch has been beaten in a slugfest and had his head boxed off too. Game on:

    I have predicted Groves by UD from the start now i am even more confident that is how it will play out! Groves will fight a smart fight and outbox froch!

    Mindgames are no substitute for punches.

    Cant see how anyone thinks Groves got the better of Froch,and im not a Froch fan.If getting the better of someone is interrupting nonstop,speaking complete and utter sh1te and acting like a schoolkid then yes,Froch GKTFO,but fortunately Froch is no Degale.

    True, but ali and tyson both used mind games to put opponents of gameplans and to get them to walk on to big shots, groves is no ali or tyson , but has def got into froch head, froch was really rattled by his challenger, round 1 has been won, mayweather loves the mind games too , works for him must be something in it:

    Well it doesnt hurt if you have Ali Tyson or FLoyd kind of skill thats why that worked for them, and Groves is miles behind them, so with his skills mind games will lead to his ass whooping:good

    I have been watching the build up with interest and Groves seems to be able to control himself and his emotions as well as sticking to a plan. We saw how he didnt let himself get too involved with DeGale and now he seems to be annoying Froch.
    I dont think Groves was disrespectful but honest. He gives the impression he sees flaws in Froch that he feels he can expose.
    At first I picked Groves to beat Froch. The worry is Groves losing his trainer but I am not completely convinced about this. If Groves has lost his trainer, I dont know if he will have a plan to work to, but think Groves is clever enough to devise a plan of his own and pick Froch off with counters, possibly staggering Froch before winning
