Comments Thread For: Groves' Trainer: Carl Froch is Only a Six Round Fighter

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Trainer Paddy Fitzpatrick is preparing George Groves to pour on the pressure in the May 31 rematch with IBF/WBA 'regular' super middleweight champion Carl Froch.

In the first meeting in late 2013, Groves sent Froch crashing the very first round and then punished him in the first half of the contest. Froch rallied in the second half of the fight to stop Groves, controversially, in the ninth round.

According to Fitzpatrick, Froch conserves much of his energy by taking things slow in the first six rounds and then he significantly increases his activity in the second half of the contest.

First I was like, wtf is this guy talking about, but he's got a point, against Groves, Froch did start off very very slow, might be caused by the KD though. Always hard to recover mentally after such a swipe.

Besides the Groves fight, Froch is a full 12 round fighters only taking 2-3 early rounds a little slow, but not too slow. Look against Bute what happened.

Carl Froch is Only a Six Round Fighter

Unfortunately for Groves, it was the last six rounds.

The irony of Groves' trainer saying that about Froch...

And Groves isn't? His stamina is very suspect for a kid of his age.

Anyway Its not how you start its how you finish.

That might be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.

Team Groves talking a lot already, and they lost the first fight, youd think theyd won.

But a bit of talk is interesting, just so contradictory sometimes.

wtf has he been smoking?

[Straightener]

Couldn't disagree more....

That's why froch is such a beast , he's relentless and live in the first and the last

Like when he turned it round against Taylor after taking a pasting class

Still think groves is gonna win the rematch but gotta love both fighters , both warriors that come to fight
