Official Froch vs Groves II Master Discussion Thread

[NEETzsche]

Put £10 on a draw at 40/1. Still, rooting for Froch by early/mid KO

40/1??

I could only get 23/1.

I put money on Groves at 13/1 to win between 4-6 and 2,5/1 on Froch to win by stoppage at any time.

new customers at paddypower can get groves to win at 5/1, £10 max bet

Yeah, it was earlier in the week. Odds seem to have narrowed a bit now.

Good call on your bets. If Groves wins by stoppage, it's early.

this is the facts:
Groves has no chance, Froch has him beat in almost every aspect.

Everyone's so enthralled with the 'psychological warfare' that the boxing part seems to have been largely forgotten about in the media.

I watched the first fight back today and I have my doubts about Groves' chances if it goes the distance. He has so many problems in this match-up. He doesn't control the distance well enough, he's hittable from the outside even for Froch, and his inside game is really weak, especially in defensive terms.

If he can put Froch away with an early onslaught then that will be a huge achievement. But if he can't I don't know that he can hang with Froch going down the stretch. He doesn't slip shots particularly well, he doesn't smother Froch's offence well enough, and he's doesn't turn Carl often enough when Carl comes charging in.

If he can't change something there then he's looking at a war of attrition with one of the most resilient fighters in the sport. And that's not good.

GOOD ANALYSIS. I'd side with this. Still rooting for Groves tho!

looks like nick halling and jim watt are going to be doing the commentary,
both are on sky sports news now,
hope watt isnt biased towards groves like last time

What was the point in getting Malignaggi over if not to commentate?

I met Froch and he's one of the nicest, most down to earth people you can meet.

Just turns into a bit of a tit whenever he talks about himself.

Fanastic sig pic!!

I think he is going to commentate?

They said that on Sky yesterday.
