Why Groves wins the rematch.

I agree 100%. A good post.

 

Good post....It's not cut and dry though, Groves will win the majority of rounds with boxing ability alone, but i would'nt discount Froch - he's upset by the lack of recognition he got for actually winning the first fight and I can see him saying to himself "this is it" and laying it all out there and coming forward through sheer will. Will be a great fight as there styles mix. I'll go with Froch by late stoppage again, then retiring.

 

Lets hope it gets done so we see can see what adjustments Groves makes .

 

Or . . . . .

Froch is more cautious this time, doesn't walk into a big right in the first round and then waste the next 5 rounds recovering and walks through everything Groves has and breaks him down earlier in the rematch?

 

i personally think groves fought the fight of his life , can he better it ?

 

I actually think this is a quite possible scenario. Not a popular one on this board I guess, but possible non the less.

 

There's a simpler reason

GG has the greater boxing IQ and can adapt and learn from (not many) mistakes in the first fight

Carl froch is one dimensional and can not change or improve his style at his age. Froch is slow and very easy to hit

GG by stoppage

 

Problem is, Froch was able to take almost everything Groves threw at him, even after getting knocked down and stunned. That is what made Groves tire so much: he was under enormous pressure, landing monster shots and his opponent was still standing and coming at him. I know first hand how hard that can be on you when you land every punch and the other guy keeps coming, Froch is incredibly strong mentally and that will play a huge role in the rematch. Although I believe Groves made an honest man out of Froch with that huge right hand.

 

I would say it's still a 50/50. Groves can try to box more but if he doesn't sit down on his shots that also doesn't give Froch as much to fear on the way in. And one thing ignored is that Froch started the first fight thinking incorrectly that he could box with Groves. He's not likely to even bother attempting that in a rematch, and though it was a terrible stoppage, Froch was getting to Groves more consistently as the fight continued and I think he would have legitimately stopped Groves if the fight had continued in the 9th.

 

Get a lot of stick but this long video sums it all up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HA-oCkN8rI

I believe this will happen, groves tires too much and Froch will this item get a legit stoppage win mid to late rounds.

That was Groves's chance after he floored him but he couldn't finish the job.

 

either scenario is plausible. after the 1st fight though, god alone knows where roughd gets gg stoppage from.

 

froch to me, seemed overconfident and simply put, not himself in the first fight. also,b the fight not only was groves gassing, but he was being hurt by froch's shots as well. I think people are quick to label froch an old fighter because of his performance against groves, but in all honestly, groves looked like a dynamo, and froch looked not to be himself. I believe froch will win a tough fight in the rematch, in an uncontroversial way.
