Comments Thread For: Groves: I'll End Froch in Three, My Coach Says Five!

[sugarsmosley]

I don't see how you could come to that conclusion. Froch has taken punishment in big fights and has come back strong at the end so his trainer isn't going to pull him out of the fight knowing that.

I think he'll either get cleanly KO'd or the ref will stop it.

..... arent you a froch fan though?

Because he's coming off a fight where he's taken a lot of punishment and he's 37 years old and has talked about retirement.

I think McCracken cares for Froch and don't think he'll let him go in more round 6's in his career from now on.

Just a feeling, but we shall see.

Seems like the winner of the first fight is quickly becoming the underdog, hmmm....

Personally I think Groves took away his confidence when he floored the living hell out of him. Froch will be more careful this time and try to be the careful fighter he's not. I think Groves stops him.

Count me in the bandwagon fellas!

Groves wasn't anywhere near getting K.Ded in the first fight ! I don't understand people talking about Froch K.Oing him !! how did they come to that conclusion ?! because of arms swinging of Groves ?!! it is his style of boxing !

Groves was 110 % conscious and alert immediately after the ****** decision of the referee

I honestly think groves comes out fast, I especially think the use if the word implosion is an indicator of that.

If froch believes the shape of the first fight and his own performance were mainly due to him underestimating groves and the rematch starts in a similar fashion with him shipping heavy blows even though he is fully mentally prepared, that could sow the seeds of doubt.

Not saying that will necessarily happen, but I think that is the mental implosion groves is looking for.

He was clearly hurt and would have likely been dropped and or KO'd in the next 10-20 seconds.

You act like round 6 was a complete beat down from Groves. There were exchanges. Groves was getting the better of them but Froch was still firing back. You're talking like it was the end of Cotto-Margarito or something. It was not just one way traffic and I don't see it ever being that way in the rematch.

I see Groves catching Froch with something big and finishing it this time.

I've read a lot of posts suggesting that froch underestimating groves was the key factor in the fight and how froch will be a different animal this time. IMO groves is a stylistic nightmare for any version of froch and he is the evolving fighter here.

Every time I watch him several aspects of his game look to have significantly improved. I think there is way more scope for him to make positive adjustments than froch. How Carl makes adjustments to negate superior speed, timing, technique and footwork seems difficult. Given that I think George contributed to his own fatigue by getting greedy with his own success and too macho. I think his adjustments are more about choices than attributes.

When he started to engage too much instead of boxing I remember thinking "this is groves fight to lose" That's how I feel about the rematch

This is beginning to smell like a trilogy if the Cobra doesn't handle his business, but Im pulling for the Cobra in this one. He's a stand up fighter in my book, so Im going to ride with him tip the wheels fall off.
