    Very good bet IMO. Didn't think of Fury on points but quite possible if Haye does his usual passive routine waiting to land big shots. Fury would just need to fight sensibly and let go of his hands a few times and he could do the job.

    Groves will win the rounds against Froch when it's being fought at 'gentlemen's pace' so he could easily win, it's just that Froch will be hard to stop once realises he needs to get Groves out of there.

    I really don't know about Groves.Wont be betting on that one but I think Booth could have afforded to wait a bit longer,surprised its coming so soon.But IMO you could be on it about Fury.When thinking about this,I keep seeing a huge size disparity,like Vitali against Hide,and yes,Wlad vs David.I also think Fury will be told to jab his way in and roughage up when he gets close.I could actually see a rough,fairly boring fight where David doesn't land much,which Fury edges.

    Haha the fury/groves points express train gathering momentum!!!
    We keep hearing bout Hayes super skills ..speed..power..etc....its all bull****.
    Where was it v wlad ...Ruiz...he barely scraped a points win over Valuev for gods sake....he was like a statue.....and at the end of the day I thought he looked lime **** v del boy until the finish.Fury handled del boy far better in my opinion.made it look easy....did Haye ???

    Groves is actually going to stop Froch and Haye is going to stop Fury. That is my prediction.

    Groves will win points and quite handily I think will outbox Froch.. As for Fury I'm going for a Fury KO.. I think Haye will realise early that he won't get near Fury like the Wlad fight but he will take a couple of risks and jump into something big from Fury.. Groves points/Fury KO is where my £10 will be going bookies will get raped on this I'm thinking

    I guarantee either Froch or Haye loses. I'm not sure which one, but someone will. Boxing is a strange sport sometimes. Both Fury and Groves winning a decision is very possible, although slim. I really fancy Fury to pull an upset v Haye..

    Its a good bet imo, although watching how well Cunningham faired against Fury before being ko'd makes me think Haye will KO Fury with ease especially after watching Cunningham who isn't exactly a big puncher have Fury in trouble more than once BUT Fury has a certain thing about him and he is so self confident I fear he could pull an upset ... As for Groves Froch, I think it is a much harder fight to predict than people think, everyone that doesn't watch boxing think Groves doesn't stand a chance but anyone that watches boxing will no that is not the case however the only concern on Groves is, has the step to world class come to soon? I personally have a fancy for Groves to beat him on points ... Froch could be a bit to sloppy + Groves has been looking very quick lately

    "Think Fury can pull off a wlad style points win" That's plain and simply not going to happen bud.

    Why not? I believe a cautious fury can more than hold his own with Haye and if he fully uses his jab and keeps a nice watertight guard I think Hate will start looking a bit of a wet fish.relying on the ambush did **** all for him v wlad and even the static Value had some success....a lot more success than many " fans " care to remember.
    Give me some reasons please mate

    I will take that bet. Can't see it happening, but it's only a tenner.

    I would go for the same as you. More confident about Groves, though. I think he can outbox Froch, but Haye's right hand worries me against Fury. That said, I think Fury has got into Haye's head, the same as Vlad did. If Fury can land the jab regularly, it could get interesting. The OP's bet isn't such a bad one. Sometimes you get a feeling about fights and it's best to go with them!

    Haye = KO
