Carl Froch vs George Groves IBF SMW Title & Undercards Prediction Discussion Thread

[CraigM]

I can say right now that George isn't nervous about the fight.

I have a real feeling that he will win by points, but am actually thinking of betting on a draw!

I just clicked on two specific Froch-Groves threads, only to get an error message they were no longer valid.

I'm guessing a mod is moving, deleting and trying to get everything into one of the main threads.

Well can you not go so over drive on that please and at least put them into another thread?

The threads were for specific things such as a face off today video, and one about Froch saying Groves has halitosis. These threads are harmless and more specific, I like many am not going to read page after page of a main thread searching for those types of specifics. Many of them get upto 5+ pages, and I don't want to keep checking the same thread on the off chance of content like those specific two threads.

Yeah this won't be as easy for Froch as people are making out. Groves has a good jab and good movement. That will cause Froch problems.

I still expect a late KO for Froch but won't be surprised if this is close on the cards, going either way.

You hear this kind of bollox all the time at staredowns

"OMG he looks shook"

Bunch of body language experts on here.

Here's the most ****** part,

Groves talks a whole load of chilish **** on Ringside, Froch ignores him.

"Oh my god did you see that?! Froch didn't even say a word! He's in his head! He's so shook!"

Today at the face to face Froch get's in his face making Groves have a bewildered idiotic lost look on his face

"Oh my god did you see that! Groves is on Froch's head! He's nervous!!"

Just plain idiocy.

I called an upset from when this fight was first made. I think Froch believes his own hype since taking a massively overhyped Bute apart. I also rate Groves, he moves well and has genuine power, he's also shown steady improvement to now. Whatever happens tho, Groves has definitely got under Froch's skin and has him rattled. He made him look emotional and ****** at that press conference!

Game on!!!! Cant wait for Sat night.. Froch-Groves then Pac-Rios

Please explain why you feel Groves has "genuine power"

Based off what exactly?

I don't think mind games work on someone like Froch.

Froch wins this inside 6, punch resistance will be Grove's downfall. he also ain't going to do a Ward job on him for the 12 rounds either.

The only 2 outcomes I can see are groves on points or froch by ko. And if I had to pick one I give a slight edge to froch by ko. Although I do want groves to win

a 79% KO ratio is pretty good!

Alcoba - Only other to KO him was Stevenson (Sturm couldn't)
Adamu - Only person to ever KO him (Froch couldn't - although is a 6 gap)
Anderson - Only person to KO him
Sierra - Dispatched him in 6 rounds, Oosthuizen took 11 and Periban went to points
Smith - Got him out in two rounds, took DeGale 9

I'd say thats pretty good power.

79 KO percentage at the level he is at is not difficult.

He hasn't stopped anyone who has an overly good chin.

He has done nothing to show he has "genuine power".
