    The Left Hook that he has said he'll use?

    I think he has a great chance of doing so.

    Firstly, GG predicted that he'd land the right hand (which he did) and secondly, Carl is SO OPEN for a left hook due to his right hand being so far back and low when he throws a jab that he is BEGGING for a Left Hook.

    Chances of GG landing the Left Hook to devastating effect are? Slim to none? High? 50/50? Bang on the chen?

    If he couldn't knock out Carl with his best punch the overhand right, its pretty doubtful he will knock him out with a left hook. But this is boxing, anything is possible I suppose.

    The chances of GG landing a hard left hook are 100% will he go down from it though? that's a lot less likely.

    About 50%.

    Dunno about GG ending the fight with a hook, but there's a good chance of him MELTING AWAY again like he did in the first.

    Personally I don't think so, the shots which seemed to have the most effect on froch the first time were all straight shots. I think it will go to points anyway.

    SGG will deliver, he told the world what he was going to do with the Polish refugee last time and he did exactly that.

    Carl actually has a fairly good defense against the left hook. He does get his glove over quite well.

    Though as the above poster mentioned when he spears the jab out he does leave himself wide open for a sort of check hook counter. If groves can time it then Froch is in trouble.

    Groves nailed Sierra with a beauty of a left hook in the four punch combo that knocked him down. The first hook in that combo was savage!!!

    Groves is not likely to flat stop Froch with any single shot. He might be able to stop him with a left hook if it's part of a combination.

    Bute had a murderous left hand to body and head, and he couldn't land it.

    It's a funny one this, I don't think GG can win by KO, but at the same time, I don't even think outboxing CF is going to do it, what with the scorecards last time out and all...... To win this, George is going to have to land the sweetest, hardest counter early on in a round and capitalise on it big time..........

    Ward landed it all night long so maybe, although I think this time there's a bit of a double bluff going on. It wouldn't surprise me if he fought him like he did Degale, if he did I think he'd come away with a fairly wide decision.
