    Not Knocking froch , good champ, fought everyone , but not been rattled by everyone, he s been calling himself a man,and getting the lion share of the purse and putting boot in to groves in loads of interveiw s, but on the show with the big audience, groves played a blinder , froch had no reply and if you dont think he rattled you must be the only one, Apart from Ward most of his fights were against shot fighters man , groves brings speed ,youth, and i think his best win was against that mexican geezer few fights ago, where he had to think about it coz he was getting caught and changed mid fight to get the stopage

    I think Froch was infuriated by Groves inability to grasp the seriousness of the situation. He was about to rage-cry and beat Groves but he somehow held it back. Groves was in his head, but I've never seen a person come that close to crying and not cry, so there's that as well. I think being in Froch's head might work the opposite of how Groves wants it to...Froch already knows he can put down Groves in headgear and 16oz...he may have been outboxed by Groves but it was sparring (ie 'boxing') not fighting. A real fight is Froch's house, small punchers gloves, no headgear, more rounds, ability to really rip into Groves instead of trying to fence him as in the gym. Smaller gloves means easier to land and harder for Groves to block and parry...Also means Groves is getting dropped at some point. Assuming they haven't already done 12, the longer fight will mean Froch has that much more time to rough him up and look for the big shots.

    I don't see how Groves could survive 12 anyway, but given Froch's mental state....Froch to just walk down and demolish Groves inside 6, Round 3 if I had to call it.

    Froch did well there, I think the lack of respect Groves is giving him is seriously pissing him off.

    I see Froch beating Groves rather easily. He's never been in the ring with the fighter the caliber of Froch. Not counting a past it guy in Johnson or a Degale who I don't really rate. He will be in trouble when that bell rings for sure.

    froch been in some wars now taken a lot of shots for a lot of twelve rounders maybe time will catch up with him , groves wont stand and trade so froch will have to chase him down , for me its a 50 50 fight.

    Smart by groves, he's really good at winding people up. He really seemed to **** Froch off. Froch looked like he wants to put a beating on Groves so he may not fight smart, might make some mistakes for Groves to capitalize on. I could possibly see Groves winning this but then I could also see Froch beating the crap out of him. Can't wait.

    Froch will get tko'ed or ko'ed within 10 mark my words. Groves will be a younger stronger version of Kessler with more speed along with devastating punching power and he's catching Froch at the right time....Groves has been developing into a seasoned fighter and his defense is getting better every fight. Froch still gets hit too damn much and i think Groves makes him look his age and beats the brakes off him.
