    He's right.

    Anyone who claims Froch is acting the same as he was in the build up to the first fight is in serious denial.

      I heard Groves interviewed last night - he wasn't insulting or annoying at all IMO.

      He just gave an opinion as he saw it - didn't bad mouth Froch just pointed out a few flaws in Froch (which were 100%) correct.

      There may be a slight lack of respect for what Froch has achieved, but Froch has been really insulting and arrogant across both fights (IMO).

      Fine line between confidence and arrogance - I think Groves is just highly confident.

      And he has good reason to be so.

        Good interview on IFL TV by Groves, it's on Youtube. I personally agree with his analysis on Froch, I think Froch is deeply rattled. He tries to play it down but he can't do any head to heads, can't bear to be in the same room as Groves and can't engage him on any level. His brother is the one who is doing the engaging and trying to rattle Groves, trying to protect Carl and distract Groves. I can see where George is getting his confidence from.

        There is a lot of talk about Froch being switched on, or on a different mental level for this fight, but not many talk about Groves improving. Everyone seems to think that Groves was at 100% for the first fight, and can't possibly get any better. For the first fight he had split with his trainer 10 weeks before his biggest fight, had to find a new trainer, new gym, and go through a legal battle up to two weeks before the fight! He's now in great shape already and in my opinion, he will be much more prepared.

        Froch will lock himself away and get in great shape, but I am still expecting Groves to dominate early and hurt Froch. The last half of the fight will determine the result again, we will see if Groves has learned from the first fight, and if Froch can impose his will again. Can't wait!

          Im fine with listening to these mind games being played out, but Groves must know people dont think he actually believes that.

          Froch has a good chance to win, and Groves knows that as well. Groves might be confident he can do a job on Froch, but he also knows Froch has more than a 50-50 chance in a private moment but of course wouldnt ever say that publicly.

            Just hope Froch wins. Groves was saved by that early stoppage, he was going to get completely sparked.

              Im a Froch fan but i totally agree, Groves has been improving so much and i think he'll probably retire Carl with this one. Im not sure how much Froch has left in him, especially after the beating he took the first time round, that was scary.

                Seriously. Ref did Groves a favor because if he had let it continue, Groves might be drinking out of a straw now.

                  Groves is on a completely new level. Froch has never faced such a dangerous opponent who can time him so well and strike him when he is vulnerable with a serious amount of power. This is no Kessler or Ward. This is a young lion with the agility and accuracy to knock him out. He can't make any mistakes this time.

                      Does Groves even believe the rubbish he comes out with?

                      The fight will go exactly the same as the first. Groves wins the first few rounds, then Froch breaks him down & stops him when he gasses.

                      Ugly kid will then cry his eyes out to the IBF claiming that Froch drugged him before the fight & will demand yet another rematch.
