Groves in Froch's head even more than first fight

[Chrismart]

All the 'mind games' have dragged on to much IMO over the course of these 2 fights. Becomes a bit dull after a while.

The special show on Sky Sports tomorrow night looks good.. but the clip of Groves shaking hands with Froch then pulling him towards him, across the table, made me cringe. All abit to WWF.

Groves is by far superior at the mind games. Shame he lost the first fight though.
So mind games wont win you the fight. You did well against Froch as you are a good fighter so youd do well even without mind games.

But Groves is a funny guy so continue with the mind games. Its win win, as we get some fun and games before the fight and during.

I honestly expect a better Froch this time around,not as stiff with more movement and a better use of his jab.

As for the mind games,I think Groves is rattled this time around, he's tried everything to get inside Froch's head over the last few weeks from what we've seen and it's not working in the slightest, he's even gone as far to not have a judge from Poland scoring the fight because Froch is quater polish, those are the tactics of a worried man in my opinion.

Great observations.

Froch getting stopped this time... it will be completely one-sided.

Froch know his time is up...the execution is not far away and the clock is ticking away.

Its amazing when you observe the mental state of both fighters... completely different from the first fight.

Groves has taken alot of confidence from the first fight and Froch has gone the other way.

I hate Froch and can't wait for him getting beat up in this fight.

Groves is by no means great but he is in a perfect position to destroy a tired and mentally defeated Carl Froch.

Waaaaaaaaaaar 'St George' Groves!!!!!!!!!

Didn't realise you were an expert on the subject... Thanks for the enlightening post.

LMFAO im always surprised at the BS at the posters opinions that they try to pass off as fact.

Groves has said if the mind games give him an advantage then it's all good but he's not at all relying on them. . . . .“Ultimately it comes down to the fundamentals. I've got faster feet than him, I've got faster hands than him, better defensive abilities than him – and I know that can hurt him. So when you look at it like that, well, what are you going to do, Carl? Grit your teeth and hope for the best. He’s just going to walk into shots. He’s going to have to punch his way out of bad situations and then walk on to even heavier shots. What he’s got is just not good enough. He’s a caveman. He’s fighting with flint tools.”

If anything, Groves was inside Froch's head the first time around and that explains the overall poor performance before the stoppage. Now Froch is taking this matchup seriously and clearing his mind for the ultimate showdown. Now there won't be anymore excuses and b.s. before the fight. Froch is looking out for his best interests this time around. Whatever it takes for him to get back on track.

Can't wait for Grooves to absolutely school Froch. This time it won't even be competitive.
