    Look I like Froch and don't really like Groves as he comes across as a bit too smug for my liking but he will beat Froch just like he was punishing him before that ludicrous stoppage. Froch will do what he's done his whole career, eat punches all night and wait for his opponent to gas before putting pressure on again.

    Groves is a beast, he held his own with David f***ing Haye, and has handled many cruiser weights in sparing.

    The betting odds are a license to print money and I will not hesitate to put a bet on this fight.
    Which is what will win him the fight again, along with his experience.

      It wasn't in that sequence, it was towards the end of the round.

      Btw, I have that up because it's a great gif of a great fight, nothing more. I like both fighters, Froch more because he's done more, is more the more willing and deserves the recognition.

        I agree and I like Froch.

        Still the fact of the matter is, Froch was getting punished, I don't think he'll be the same in the rematch. He's never done the Booty Dew like that before.

          It's very possible Groves could get him again but I don't think it'll be because Froch's chin is cracked, principally because he got up and took 100s more flush punches over 8 more rounds.

          In fact, he got up and took two more flush monster right hands at the end of round 1 and stood up to them. Reason he went down is because he did a Pacquiao and ran straight into the punch.

            Yeah his feet were literall square in no boxing stance whatsoever when that punch landed.

            I wonder how much of that fight was effected by that knockdown and whether he would have been as dominant throughout the fight if he didn't hurt Froch so badly.

            I'll get a free £250 bet off of Paddy power by doing some matched betting.

              Without the k/d, I think Groves might've been edging the rounds rather than winning them dominantly, e.g. he was edging round 1 before the k/d. Froch will probably lose the first few rounds of the rematch to the quicker man, he'll be looking to avoid a repeat of the first fight mishap.

              I read something about matched betting, not sure how it works but I wouldn't be putting £250 on this fight. I stuck £20 quid on Froch a while back, but it's more of a punt rather than anything I have huge confidence in. I'd feel the same about putting it on Groves.

                You bet to receive the free bet on something that has even odds (up to £250 promo offer on paddypower)

                Then on betfair you lay against that bet.

                So you don't really lose anything, maybe a pound or two.

                And then you get your free bet lol.

                  So can you take the free bet, put the money on a heavy favourite and after it wins put the £250 straight back into your bank account?

                    Yeah.

                    But if you 100% wanted that free bet money you could just lay against a result on betfair and bet for the result happening on another bookmaker.

                      froch might be slower, older, but he has experience, he was wining the second half of the last fight. . . . I would put money on groves, but it could still go either way, that's why it's exciting
