Why on earth do people think Froch will beat Groves in the rematch?

I pick Froch to win because he showed in the first fight he can finish stronger. Also i think he underestimated Groves, and started too slow. This time he will start faster and sharper, and tighten up his defence.

I think groves will outbox him again, but Froch will stop him late. But it will be close.

Because guys have off nights, and Froch has proven himself more times and against tougher competition, so until the wheels fall off I feel he has the advantage.

groves was slowing down. Froch was slowly getting to him and would have stopped him either way. In a rematch I think groves won't be able to get off a much better start than he did.

I think froch beats him again in a rematch.

This fight will be better then the first. 50/50 fight

Froch is stronger over 12. I think at some point Groves gets pulled into a dogfight.

Groves fought a good fight and used his superior speed to good advantage, but it wasn't nearly as one sided as you (or Jim Watt) are making it.

Aside from the 1st Round KD, Froch never looked in serious trouble, despite taking a number of big shots, and whilst Groves' head hunting was getting all the attention, Froch was steadily working away at Groves' body.

Groves was undoubtedly up on the cards at the time of the stoppage but was also undeniably badly hurt and tiring. I had Groves 3 points up (about the same as the judges) with 4 more rounds to score and Froch looking dominant.

TBH I see little more that Groves can do in the rematch - he has to throw the dice and go all in from the opening bell, cos his best chance at winning is to put Froch away early - a battle of attrition is one Froch will almost certainly win.

Now Froch knows what's coming at him however I see a KO as being fairly unlikely - if Groves could put Froch down at will, you have to wonder why he didn't do it in the first fight. I actually see the rematch being stylistically similar to the first, with Groves looking sharp early, before fading in the mid-rounds and gradually slowing, getting broken down and ultimately stopped.

Froch got battered like an English fry up. Groves dictated the pace for the whole fight, physically bullied him around the ring and without a shadow of a doubt took a lot out of him as a fighter.

He was smacked around like a ragdoll and now he's just gonna win the rematch against a fresh young lion like Groves? Froch seems to be delusional about his own abilities, I really feel sorry for him, he's going to get a pasting in this fight, I'm surprised he even took it.

Because Froch is a warrior and learns from his mistakes.

WAR FROCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if the judges are fair and not like the lame ass ones from the last fight carl will have to stop groves to win because he's not going to outbox him

Why on earth do people think Froch will beat Groves in the rematch?
