Comments Thread For: Froch-Groves II Agreement Reached, Confirms IBF Prez

Groves can take this if he trains for 12 rounds and fights smart. He'll have Jim Watt on his side at least.

Because Groves showed him no respect, and the fact he is a fellow Brit

Groves has somehow found a way to get in to Frochs head, which favours Groves because Froch will more than likely again take his emotions in to the ring with him and forget he is in there to do a job

Angry Froch is what Groves wants as he will have a opportunity to knock down again

Groves is going to be even more slick with the mouth in the build up, Froch will find it hard to control his emotions once again

Yeah, I think Froch expected Groves to treat him like the legend he feels he is, Groves wasn't going down that road and instead treated him like someone on the same level which Froch didn't like.

I like both fighters, but I think Froch made the mistake of overestimating himself and understminating his opponent.

IBF can't believe their luck. Two enormous sanctioning fees in a row. Great fight though. Would much rather watch this than Froch/Ward or Froch/Chavez.

*** yah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rooting for Groves hard. But I hope he's already been working on his stamina and isn't just leaving it to these remaining 3 months.

[P4P Opinion]

I can't decide whether I think Groves needs to take Froch out early or pace himself better. Stamina is clearly the big issue with Groves. I don't think his chin is the problem, I just think that he struggles to take shots in the later stages of fights. I think Froch was on his way to a legit stoppage in the first fight and I can easily see it going the same way this time, albeit with Froch showing more regard for Groves' ability this time. If I was in the Groves corner I'd advise him to keep energy in the tank rather than gunning for Froch early.

Froch knocks out Groves within 5. He won't underestimate him this time.

This ^^^^^. Groves is going to be Bute'd.

I think George should win this.

But only if he plays it clever, he'll need to focus a lot more on pacing himself and not let himself get into a tear up because if that happens again it'll be Froch taking home the titles.

Main problem is Froch was admittedly caught cold last time, so I wouldn't even bother going for a KO win as I don't think Froch will let that happen again.

Stamina is the key for Groves, if he can get this he'll do the job... if not, he is screwed.

Froch is ducking
