    Froch is in for a horrible beating, Groves will school him again but this time there will be no ridiculous unwarranted stoppage to save his bacon

    if groves gets tagged hard early.... he'll get stopped...

    he's gotta be more defensively responsible.... he got reckless in the last fight and it cost him dearly

    he was running out gas and froch was starting to catch and tag him.... it was a matter of time....

    if he fights like he did for the first 5 rounds and carries that for 12 rounds he may well stop froch.

    Like it or not, the stoppage in the first fight was controversial and that's nothing new in England. Sure Groves was hurt but he sure as hell wasn't knocked out or unaware of what's happening. He was winning the first fight on points and has the right to brag about it leading up to the rematch. If Froch didn't somehow agree that Groves was seriously in the fight he wouldn't have given him a rematch.

    Grove's "BUTE'D" Froch in their first fight. Froch though did not lose his confidence like Bute did.......

    Froch will be much more relaxed this time, less overconfident and smarter.

    He'll KO Groves inside the distance and Groves will be ruined for a potential fight with GGG.:-(

    Groves it too smart/too fast, he'll win this easily on points while taunting Froch, somewhat similar strategy to what he employed in the DeGale fight but he'll tag Froch clean now & then with eye catching shots & move out of harms way.

    Went to the first fight and I'm going to the rematch - both as a Groves fan.

    I've watched him since he turned pro, everything he's saying in the lead up is simply to rile Froch and get under his skin so that when that bell goes, Froch's game plan goes out the window as he wants to take Groves head off which then falls into Groves hands. Froch is one of these that has to have people in his ear telling him what a warrior he is, how he's the bees knees etc... Groves isn't giving him that which has got Froch's back up.

    People saying he was moaning after the fight etc, let's get it right... his promotional ties to matchroom had ended meaning he had no promoters or management to do his talking for him. He had to personally go to the states and meet with the IBF to get the first fight mandated and therefore enforce the rematch. If he didn't shout about it himself, he had nobody else in place to do so.

    He'll probably try this but can't see him maintaining it with the pressure Froch is bringing. Froch won't give him time to think. Groves starts flailing when he is pressured.

    The first fight went exactly like a lot of people thought Groves did well early on, Froch came roaring back midway through, Groves did a lot better than people thought he would early on.
    Try watching the fight without the English commentary, they acted like everything Groves was landing with was amazing, and downplayed anything Carl did, their bias influenced people and warped perspectives.

    Groves was in the process of getting Bute'd the ref did him a favor, the same thing will happen again minus the Froch KD, the Cobra was being very irresponsible he won't make that mistake this time.

    If that fight carried on, no way was Froch letting Groves off the hook. The referee robbed Froch of a victory more than anything.

    I think Froch underestimated Groves. I remember watching the fight thinking Froch was going to walk through Groves, that was until both men entered the ring, Groves looked at Froch with a serious look and Froch just grinned at him. Thats when i said Froch is about to get his ass kicked.

    Props to Froch for coming back like a true champ

    People don't seem to appreciate the effect that massive shot in round one had on Froch. He wasn't fighting with a clear head from the beginning of the fight.

    He will make GG fight at his pace and stop him late.
