Comments Thread For: Groves: Froch Has Mental Demons, He is No Warrior!

[Ivansmamma]

Froch will be more relaxed this time.

Not to mention that Froch is getting his biggest payday (and the biggest purse at 168 ever, I suspect)...

Froch is winning even if he loses this fight -- he may retire...

But Froch also wants to surpass "Calzaghe's legacy"...

Yeah financially he is winning either way but i think mentally it will be hard for him if he loses to groves. Groves really annoys him. He can take guy's saying they are gonna beat him and that they are better boxers then him, i guess he's heard that his entire career. What groves does is a bit different, he belittles his achivments and makes fun of his warrior image and dosen't give him the respect he feels he deserves as a man. Froch probably would like to do to him what haye did to chisora so if Froch loses this i think it will be hard for him to swallow. Like hattons loss to pac.

Do you know how much Froch is earning, and how much Groves is getting too perhaps?

It was about a 85%-15% purse split...
... The fight was supposed to generate 8-10 million pounds... Only Hearn could tell...

Groves confirmed the other day that he gets more than the offer he was made from Hearn originally, which was £1m.

He gets a decent payday for this fight

It was expected to be like this...
... Hearn could have had sold two Wembley stadiums for this fight...

Froch by stoppage again..

I'm really surprised by how many people feel Groves has a shot..I do believe Froch underestimated Groves in their first meeting..Groves really did nothing special imo,he dropped Froch..Yet Froch work his way back into the fight on the cards,and too the point he hurt Groves late in the fight a few times..Froch is going to know Groves a lot better in the rematch..Big trouble for Groves imo..

After beating froch from pillar to post in rounds 1-8, you're surprised why people think Groves can win?

I really don't see that. I think it's surprising that so many people fall into the same trap as the last fight, thinking Froch has all the advantages, when really he doesn't.

He's got better stamina and is tougher, but in terms of skill and power - Groves takes it. It's quite an intriguing match-up this - and whoever wins it will not be easy.

Overstatement,one I really don't agree with..You know this tho,we had an argument about the scorecards the day after the fight..Skill wise I say they are about even,the advantage Groves had was speed and movement..Skill tho,they both have that,I know Froch is awkward it does not mean he's not skillful tho..

Groves won a lot of fans over I guess,but I'm not sold..Esp against Froch,who has now seen Groves..I believe Groves is in trouble..

In the power department Froch has the edge Laced, you could see him moving Groves with his punches in the end, Groves did a job on Froch in the first, but I really don't think he can do that again, but everything about this fight just screams massive entertainment. I've watched the first fight about 7 times. I would give a finger to have gotten the last 4 rounds, I imagine Froch taking it because Groves was getting hammered in the 8th and 9th (so was Froch but he was bull rushing THROUGH his punches.)

Btw. Froch later in the fight gets hit a lot of times, with that 1st round punch, question I'm asking is, if it hadn't hit in the first round, would he have gone down?
