    Disagree, him and Degale had far more history and dislike for one another yet Groves stuck to a gameplan.

    don't you think that the story about him being floored in sparring might stick in his throat?

    Groves was lucky to get that decision though and he had the confidence of knowing that he had beaten Degale in the am's and also knew a lot about him, he turned the whole psychology on to Degale and it got too much for him in the ring.

    With Froch it's the reverse, he put Groves down in sparring, he's the clear favourite, and he's mentally and physically an incredibly tough guy and also has a great trainer in McRacken. The difference between Groves and Degale in their fight was Groves had Booth and Degale had McDonnell who had no idea what to do and gave him useless advice. If you would have swapped the trainers over it would have been a different result.

    Can't see Groves losing on points. If he doesn't win a UD can see Froch stopping him.

    I dont think so to be honest theres rumours Groves has been sparked by Eubank Jr, Ryan Aston, Callum Smith in sparring aswell.

    Id be very shocked if those were true, as little as sparring can mean i just dont see that particular group flooring him

    I know but everyone believed this before they saw Eubank getting outboxed for the first four rounds in his last fight and Aston getting bombed out by Curtis Valentine.

    This better not be on PPV

    £14.95 for Froch vs Groves

    or £10 for Mayweather vs Canelo and Mathysse vs Danny Garcia.

    He also got spanked every round in sparing against Direll rumours the forums in the states (where he was sparring) was he was getting really depressed getting spanked by Dirrell that Haye had to step in as a motivator and hug groves he be alright when DeGale fights.

    doubt thats true, dirrell was full of praise for groves after they sparred and said he could be at world level in 12 months(this was in 2011)

    He would say that it was Sky sports televising his interview!!!! do you think Adam booth/Haye would want him to tell the truct? and say i whooped Groves ass, Mr degale your gonna do good. He was on Groves/FW's payroll FFS

    Remember Dirrell was out of action for ages before he sparred Groves.
