    First I didn't have a favorite, just the best teking it, but now I want Froch to win just to see the afterfight fallout here.

    I think Froch will win anyway. In the first fight he still seemed to be on his way to pull it out of the fire like we've seen from him in the past with his worst start ever. I think under the circumstances it was about 60/40 for Froch to be able to legitimately stop Groves or put enough on him to eek out a decision from the last 3 rounds.

    I think Groves will win.
    I can't see Froch improving at all. Same old Froch every time.
    Groves is still an improving fighter, he'll be better this time.

    As it's an all British fight and I have supported both these lads during their careers I'm not too bothered,just hope it is as good as their first meeting.in some ways I favour George I think he is the future and Carl has had a brilliant career win lose or draw this one.I hope this is Carls last fight for the sake of his health,so time to call it a day and go home and enjoy his money.I do favour Carl to win though.

    I hope Groves wins by KO. But I think Froch will survive the early onslaught and Groves will gass badly in the later rounds. And this time the referee will be reluctant to stop the fight, I fear for Groves life.

    Kessler and Pascal took a lot of punches from Froch and lived to tell the tale so hopefully Groves will be alright.

    Froch doesn't give Groves an early opportunity to hurt him this time out, fights a little bit cagier to begin with and then takes Groves out later on once he gets gassed.

    I don't think this will be half the fight the first one was.

    Froch to win in round 10 one, to prove he would have stopped Groves after the 9th in the first fight, and then finely stop Groves from winging, and show up all the boo boys in the audience for that first fight, why do we British cheer a loser,Froch deserved better on the night, come on the Cobra........

    In Groves' case it was because he put in a great performance, proved a lot of doubters wrong, helped give the fans a great fight and then handled being stopped prematurely with great class.

    Groves winning this would actually be good for British boxing in the long term... having a young fresh upcoming fighter with an entertaining style who has shown he doesn't want to take the easy route when it comes to fights (he could have gone down an easier route than a Froch fight) and who has a good number of years in him...

    I think Groves will take this if he paces himself better and keeps off the ropes, Froch loves the stationary targets on the ropes as it's where he likes to unload. The centre of the ring is the place to be and putting Froch on the backfoot.

    I'm not sure Froch can improve much at 37, but Groves is still not at his peak, i just hope it lives up to the hype.
