    Froch is gonna be looking for one big shot whilst Groves is controlling things with his jab, Groves has faster hands and better footwork, he'll outbox Froch from range and take a decision whilst Froch spends the fight looking for one big shot but Groves' chin will pass the test and Froch will run out of ideas.

    Groves on points.

    I think Groves stands a good chance but, I think in the end, Froch's power will be too much for him.

    Groves has an average chin and has gotten cut easily by guys who don't have the power Froch does. I can see Froch winning by late TKO but... Groves winning the majority of the rounds before then because I think he is a better boxer than Froch.

    Incidently, I could easily see Groves beating Ward. Ward lacks the granite chin that Froch has and so will get hurt by someone with Groves power and speed and, Ward lacks the power that Froch has so won't hurt Groves.

    Froch KO Round 9-10, Froch has fought better 'skilled' operators than Groves and dealt with them one way or another. Groves isnt Ward and i dont think can slug it out like Kessler can, hope im wrong as id like to see a young fighter from the UK make that step up. With Frochs age he has hit a bit of a glass ceiling really, Ward is simply better than him unless he does change weights he cant go any 'higher' in rankings etc

    I'm a fan of both fighters and I'll be supporting Groves in this fight in the same way I'd support Barker against another Brit because of the Chelsea connection. :good

    Agree that the above is what Groves will plan but I don't agree Froch will be looking for one big shot, he'll be looking to overwhelm Groves with a barrage of pressure and an accumulation of big shots (same way Bute was dealt with) and it's all about weather Groves is good enough (and strong enough) to hold him off and keep moving behind the jab.

    I actually think Groves is quietly confident he has the power to stop Froch.

    However, I still think this is too early for Groves and I think Froch will win by TKO by the 6th

    i think groves will win the early rounds but hes only been 12 rounds twice remember and in the first degale fight, he was really feeling the pace around round 7.

    getting tired againts froch will be very dangerous.

    I hope he knocks out Froch. He's become far too big for his boots.

    "I'm an international superstar!" :lol::lol::lol:

    You make froch sound so crap and one dimensional saying he will just be looking for one big shot. Froch will control the tempo of the fight, he either win via latter rounds TKO or UD.

    Terry i agree you could add Dirrell to his losses but the Taylor fight was the most extreme in terms of timing as to why fights are 12 rounds. I dont see that one as particularly lucky, Froch used what best tools he had and the exact moment.

    Funny though because Chavez Jr (knob that he is) almost had Sergio out in similar fashion, yet he hung on and took huge praise. Taylors career could have been boosted if he lasted those last few seconds

    The Taylor fight was ****ing epic, dont think Froch is as one dimensional as people are making out and still wins this for me, to much experience and know how, do like groves a lot though

    a 12round tko is legendary, cant take the credit away from that one, done the business when he needed too, dirrell fight tho could be seen as lucky.

    I can see it but I don't think that's what will happen, I think Groves will want to get involved at some point and that'll be his downfall. Remember he hasn't got Booth's calming blue t-shirt in the corner.
