Comments Thread For: Grove: Froch Has Never Been The Best, I Can School Him

[IronDanHamza]

People forget Froch is not very good against mobile targets. He clearly lost to Dirrell and was very lucky against Taylor. Groves has enough movement to get away from shots and packs power in both hands.When Froch makes a mistake he will get punished and so anything can happen in this fight. Froch will probably try to come and overwhelm Groves but when he misses and gets punished he will get frustrated.

I can't wait for this fight.

How did he get lucky against Taylor? By punching him repeatedly in the face and stopping him?

Both Dirrell and Taylor are much better than Groves.

Got a funny feeling about this fight. I think Groves is going to pull off the upset.....either that or he gets stopped very late whilst leading.

Dirrell??? Really??? Dirrell is garbage, has talent but absolutely no balls whatsoever. I can never understand why people think Dirrell is a good fighter.

Being from the States I'm not too privy of Groves. But the real question I have to everyone on here picking him over the proven Cobra is Groves as good as Bute was before he fought Froch? Froch blitzed him and tested him early to where Bute knew he was out of his league - like I said I am not too privy of Groves but I hear goos things about him as far as skill set.

Nonsense. The Dirrell fight was close, no matter which way you scored it and how is wearing someone down & knocking them out 'lucky'?

It amazes me when people put stuff on here so completely against what really happened.

I definitely agree he doesn't have it mentally. But he's very talented.

I think his losing effort to Froch and fight with Abraham showed me a lot more than Groves has thus far.

I'm more excited for this than any fight that saturday. I think Froch comes back and stops him late.

Groves really knows how to push Frochs button, he claimed he should be favourite against Froch lol.

Its alright if Groves thinks he can beat Froch but to claim he should be favourite is maybe being a bit deluded.

Having said that Groves is obvioulsy good as he beat Degale, but both are prospects.

Groves you dont give him any acknowledgment for beating Pascal,Taylor,Dirrell, Bute,Kessler,and giving the best performance ive seen against the 2nd p4p Ward.
He hasn't shown you respect because the best win you have to date is a gift vs Degale, a European level boxer.
I fear that if you get demolished your trash talking will alienate you from british fans and set your career back big time.
ppl can moan all they want about froch's speed and lack of defence, but one thing he is, is a stubborn, boneheaded mf, Talking him into wanting to plough forward and land shots is mental, i mean what did you think his plan would be otherwise?
I dont seriously think groves is ****** enough to trade, he is going to run and counter and ive never seen froch get beaten by someone doing that. Ward was correct when he said you have to hold the center and put froch on the back foot.

The first solid right that Groves lands will set the stage for the fight. If Froch smiles back with that cold look in his eyes, Groves is in for a long night.

I think Sky is carrying this fight. I hope James Watt is the expert commentator!
