Probably the most anticipated fight of the year.
Tickets went on sale today for the Froch vs Groves rematch and with in an hour all 60,000 of them were gone. Which other fight can match that. If they can get the go ahead from the authorities they are looking to get another 20,000, either way it will be the biggest boxing crowd in post war Britain and the biggest anywhere in the world for some time.
The first fight Groves the big underdog got under Froch's skin but he delivered on his trash talk, out jabbing Froch, meeting him in the centre of the ring and putting Froch down in round one, And then continued to catch Froch with massive punches throughout the fight.
Froch's moments of success were rare but in the 9th he had his best spell of the fight and landed some good blows on Groves. Groves was hurt but had his guard up chin down, and was firing back and was mobile when Howard Foster, the ref, step in and prematurely stopped a great fight.
The IBF agreed that the stoppage was wrong and ordered an immediate rematch.
So how does the second one go down? Froch claims he did not take Groves seriously enough and was mentally unprepared. Groves claims Froch cannot adapt and he cannot win.
Groves mind games seem to be working and Froch is getting wound up again as evident of the push he gave him in the presser.
Can Froch adapt?
Will Groves be better?
Who going to win the biggest fight of the year?
Poll Coming!!!!
