Comments Thread For: Groves: I'll Be The First Person To Stop Carl Froch!

[MDPopescu]

I kinda remember Lucian Bute saying the same thing. For Groves' sake I hope this doesn't go the same way.

As long as he has his legs with him Carl can't be KOd.
Let's wait and see...

Groves has definitely got into Froch's head. Froch looked ooked like he was going to burst on Ringside last night, Groves OWNED him.

Froch is the clear favourite for obvious reasons in the gulf in class of opponents, but Groves is being completely written off. His defence has improved a lot, he has a quality jab, big power in his right hand - but most importantly - has good footwork, lateral movement and speed. Froch has got slower, and has really struggled against good technical boxers (Dirrell, Taylor, Ward).

I don't see this as a foregone conclusion as many do. There are questions about Groves' chin and durability, and rightly so, but he has got the attributes to cause Froch a lot of problems if he can avoid getting tagged. I'm looking forward to this fight.

The Cobra has 1 vulnerability, and his name is Andre Ward, end of story.

Correction. The Cobra has 2 vulnerabilities, Andre Ward & Father Time.

The first, he can forget about, for now. The second might be in the ring with him when he faces Groves, which is the only chance Groves has of winning this, in my opinion.

If you get a chance youtube the following.

Sky Sports Ringside : Groves vs Froch

Never seen Froch like that, he even mentioned at the end he was at the end of his tether and if he said what he wanted to there would be a brawl.

Just watched this interview, I'm going all in with Froch, if people think, The Cobra is intimidated by a guy who he dropped in sparring with big gloves, they're in for a rude awakening.

Team Cobra ready to strike.

I couldn't find the latest interview on Youtube, but I watched it at the Sky Sports website.
Very interesting.
Most of the time, the trash talk you get from boxers before a fight is just that - trash, to stir up interest and sell tickets. These two mean it.
Groves did get under Froch's skin, the same way he did with Degale. it worked for him that time. Degale fought like an angry man, which is exactly what Groves wanted him to do.
But Froch fights like an angry man anyway, whether he likes the opponent or not. He stalks them, and tries to take their head off every chance he gets. That's his style, and getting him angry won't change anything about it. In fact, it might make him do what he always does even more effectively

This is the one I just watched.

From groves banter he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. Or the most mature person either.

After watching this, and hearing his training situation on ringside podcast (apparently according to him he's always known the formula to beat carl and doesn't need help with it), I can see him going in there having some success in the early rounds.

Then carl will make small adjustments on the suggestion of his world class trainer rob mccracken.

Groves won't have anyone to help him implement a plan B. or tell him where hes going wrong. ( because he is running the show in his corner after parting from his trainer)

This is when groves will come unstuck and be stopped between rounds 8-10.

Oh please shut the **** up. Froch is nothing. Froch make adjustments? are you serious? Why are people so quick to forget that this is the guy that got a rip off win against Dirrell, lost every round to Ward and was losing every round until he knocked out Taylor. That is not the sign of a good fighter. It's the sign of someone who loses every time he steps up.

And for some ****** fans who don't know better. You can't say Froch's win against Bute is a great win and then turn around and in the same breath say Bute is a hype job.

Yeah, neither of those are the least bit true. They're completely false.
