    He's kinda got it ass backward - Froch is a fighter who fights consistantly over 12 rounds, whereas many (most), including Groves, will start to slow down in the latter part of the fight.

    There is a degree to which Carl takes advantage of this by piling on the pressure in the championship rounds when his opponent is weakest, but he can't really be described as a slow starter.

    Anyways - it looks like Groves will try to fight with a similar strategy as last time - throw everything in early and look either for the KO or to build up such a wide points margin that Froch won't be able to claw it back.

    As in the first fight I'm pretty sure it will fail. Froch by late TKO.

              As usual, most of the people posting didn't read the article

              He's talking about the last 6 rounds. Froch is a pretty slow starter usually so it's not that outlandish a comment.

                    It's rare that I don't read an article before posting but I admit I did it here and made a post disagreeing with it but deleted it once I read the article.

                    Yeah, Froch is at his best in the second half of the fight, he's always shown that.

                      Froch against Bute and Kessler II was the exception rather than the rule. Froch is traditionally a slow starter in fights.

                      Ginger bollocks might just get Bute'd this time!
