Official Froch vs Groves II Master Discussion Thread

[mathed]

Groves is going to hurt Froch this time....Froch knows it too.

[jas]

groves gassed a lot towards the end in 1st fight

[ShovelThumb]

Going to put some money on Groves by KO. Can't wait for saturday night!

Why not?

Froch cannot go on eating punches like it's his Sunday roast.

His chin has been dented.

Rumours that Eubank Jr dropped him in sparring and he's no puncher.

Groves will hit him at will, and won't gas.

Froch wasn't turning the fight around, he had a little rally where most of his punches were blocked and the odd 3 solid punches got through, he hurt Groves, but hardly devastated him.

Froch has zero chance in this fight.

Is there any real evidence of that though? (dubious Eubank sparring story aside)

Froch seems to have been eating punches his whole career, he came through the last fight and his chin held up and he hasn't fought since. Can we really say his chin is gone?

10m points groves over froch?

Haven't heard anything about the Eubank Jr story. I doubt it's true because I don't think he'd beat anyone on the domestic scene just yet (P. Smith, Anderson, C.Smith) and I think he's being very softly matched. Don't think the chin is gone, but the legs look very heavy with that plodding style. Watched the first fight again today and think George should really whack the body a bit more, he couldn't miss with a jab to the body in the first fight. Interesting video with George on IFL TV comes across a bit of a control freak with the insight into everything for a reason, but good viewing. Either way the fight is going to be great, DeGale Gonzales should be a good fight too, really don't know how that one wiill play out.

Yeah I'll take that bet. Groves has almost all the advantages - except one - punch resistance. If he can't hurt Froch, it's probably going to come down to that imo. We'll see.

It was a simpler time

WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIENDS AGAIN!?!?

They were friendly before.

Before Haye-Klitschko, they did a feature in the Hayemaker gym with both Froch and Groves where they talked etc.

And Froch said previously that Groves was tough in sparring.

anyone got link to behind the ropes part 1?

thanks in advance

[Mr. Meeseeks]

Look at me! I'm Mr. Meeseeks!

Froch will be in more pain than a Meeseek living more than a day

It all stemmed from when Groves started to downplay Froch's achievements.

Froch I'd imagine would take that badly considering the way he's overachieved in the sport.
