It was actually Groves' fight plan that fell to pieces.
He hit Froch with everything he had and couldn't put him away.
Then he started blowing out of his arse, dropping his hands and brawling with Froch before being left out on his feet at the end.Comment

"IF" Froch fights like he did in the first fight he loses. The BIG ????? is why did he fight like that?
Is it because he is slipping?
Is it because he did not prepare properly and did not take Groves seriously?
My hunch it is the latter and if that is the case I see a highly motivated more disceplined Froch sticking to a game plan and winning. I don't see Groves fighting any better but do see Froch putting his first showing to shame. Groves has really got under his skin and shocked him in the first fight. Froch is really going to prepare well and be fully motivated this time.Last edited by Isaac Hunt; 03-11-2014, 10:25 AM.Comment

Froch can talk all he likes about being calm and boxing but we know when he is eating right hands and getting wound up by Groves he will revert to type.Comment

Froch lands a couple of heavy shots and Groves was badly hurt when the ref stepped in early.
I just hope the first fight stoppage does not play against George Groves. There is no way the 2nd fight will be stopped early. For that reason, I hope Groves health is not put at risk by a foreign referee letting the fight go on for too long.Comment

If Froch isn't shot he is definately favorite however I'm going for Groves, Froch looked bad against him first time and against Dirrell (thought he lost that) and Taylor until the end. Not to mention Ward obviously, he gets shown up by slick fighters, not much training at this stage can change that, he needs to overwhelm Groves like someone said, he is far to slow to box Groves like he did against Abraham.
For me, It's just a matter of whether George can go the 12 rounds if it goes that far, if he has the stamina and keeps a cool head then Groves will win on points though I wouldn't rule out Carl getting stopped for the first time.Comment
