Comments Thread For: Carl Froch vs. George Groves is Ordered By The IBF

[Weebler I]

I don't think the fight will go ahead... Not for now anyway because Hearns wouldn't want his number 2 supermiddle to lose and put him on the backfoot and in sparring George readily admits that Froch put him down to the floor.

George is also the number 1/2 ranked in WBC and WBO so I'd possibly see Froch going up against Bika for WBC with George fighting someone else for vacant IBF or fighting Bika himself.

Unification takes precedence over mandatory, right? I think that means Froch could keep his belt.

Groves is also #1 mandatory with the WBC @ 168Lb & a fight with Bika before Froch makes more financial sense.

I give groves more of a chance than most do, froch struggles against movement and groves can move, I suspect Booth will send him in with a Dirrell-esque gameplan.

At this stage of his career froch has earned one or two "easy" ones so I don't have a huge issue with it

Groves has never faced a guy that's nearly close to the level of Froch. He's been beating crappy opposition and his best win so far is an ancient Glen Johnson (you could argue that a very green DeGale is his best win though)

While Froch's been fighting guys like Kessler, Ward, Bute, etc Grove's been fighting Gonzalez Alcoba, Barakat and Balmaceda...

Right now I think this fight is a complete mismatch.

That just made me LOL. DeGale is his best win they were both green but Degale is not any better now then he was then.

Yeah he's still bad but I think he was even worse back then.

Froch would ruin that dude....he'd take more than that kid's "0"....he'd take his soul.....too soon for Groves imo

You know what they say about gingers...

[king Ketchel]

Groves should just take it. Froch is hot right now and it'd be a good fight for Groves for exposure. Even though Froch kicks his arse

Good for British Boxing Fans

Of course Froch wins. But Groves is slick and hits hard. So I look forward to seeing this fight just to see how good Groves really is and whether he can weather the storm at elite level. There comes a time when you have to step up and Groves believes he belongs up there so lets see.
