    BTW i don't think Groves can take the heat that Froch will be dishing out.

    I think Froch will have bad intentions in this fight.

    He has a lot of talent. I just wonder about his mental strength.

    He did a good job of pressuring Bute.

    That was out and out seek and destroy.

    Froch is the favourite no doubt. But sometimes there are upsets which defy prior logic to a fight. This could very well be one of those fights.
    Groves looked very sharp in his last outing, albeit against questionable opposition. He appeared a lot quicker than in his fights against Kenny Anderson and DeGale.

    Has anyone noticed Froch stating:
    "I am a proper fighter and a proper champion who will always face my mandatory challenger rather than vacate my belt".

    Is this a dig at Calzaghe?

    Anyway, I'll root for Froch, he could've easily sidestepped the younger challenger.

    I remember Froch chasing Bute to the ropes and unloading.

    Okay.. maybe i need to watch the fight again.

    Froch is too easy to hit and relies on his iron chin, Groves is fresh and his punches pack some serious mustard I think Froch get stopped with a counter late after Groves wears him down to the body

    Can't see anything other than a Froch win to be honest, think he'll stop Groves.

    I think the fight will be surprisingly competetive, with Groves possibly stealing some early rounds, but his experience doesn't compare to Froch's, also, Groves has no fights against high level opposition like Ward, Taylor or Kessler, and I believe this will be his downfall, and Froch's durability and power will take him to a points or late stoppage win

    I fancy Froch by either complete battering points win or TKO. I still don't think Groves has a great chin, he hasn't been in with a world class guys, Groves relies on his power a lot and I don't know if it will hurt Froch.

    I see Groves using his speed and being ahead on points up until round 10 or 11, when Froch catches up with him and knocks him out
