    Comments Thread For: Groves: Froch Has An Awful Style, Technically Terrible!

    George Groves pulls no punches on tonight’s Behind The Ropes on Sky Sports – describing Carl Froch’s technique as ‘awful’ and rejecting the champion as a fighting man ahead of their clash for Froch’s WBA and IBF World Super Middleweight titles on Saturday at Wembley Stadium connected by EE, live on Sky Sports Box Office.

    The second part of the fly-on-the-wall look at preparations in the Froch and Groves camps airs at 7pm tonight on Sky Sports 1, as we edge closer to their grudge rematch at the national stadium.

    Groves called their first meeting a ‘daylight robbery’ when Froch survived a first round knockdown and a furious onslaught in a sixth round that the Londoner called ‘the worst round in Carl Froch’s career’, only for the Nottingham star to retain his titles with a controversial ninth round stoppage.

    I guess as 'awful' as Froch is (apparently), Groves is really gonna look like crapola when Froch KOs him. HA!

        Frochs days are numbered. Hes been in wars. Hes taken more punishment than floyd and bernard put together. Yet we wait for them to get old. Froch might beat groves but I guarentee u he wont fight degale or gonzalez. He will either retire or vacate. Because degale beats him easy. And gonzalez isnt an attraction.

          I agree that Froch has a terrible style. He is hard to look at if you favor technicians. I also feel yhat he should have lost the Dirrell fight but shame on Dirrell for never asking for a rematch after the Super 5 and Alan Green tournament ended.

            I dont think anyone who knows boxing will disagree with this. Froch is technically brutal. Works for him though.

              Groves should pay Froch a compliment at the end of the criticism. Along the lines of he is awful and technically terrible, but I take my hat off to him for all hes achieved with him being as limited as he is.

                Kinda how I feel about Paquiao.

                    Groves is right, and this is the reason I became a fan of Froch.

                    Because Froch is so technically wrong, he has to be tougher, work harder, work longer, be stronger, and more confident than everyone else. This guy truly wins at the highest level, off intangibles.

                    That's highly commendable IMO.
