The ref was to blame there, what an idiot.
I'm surprised that Froch has taken this fight because I feel this is a fight he can't winQuote:

Groves wins this for me.
Froch looked old and slow in the first fight and barely landed a punch until Groves ran out of gas. Froch still has good stamina, but he looked awful in the first fight. If Groves paces himself he wins a comfortable decision or knocks Froch out late on.
I think Froch is all but finished as a fighter and an improved Groves will send him into retirement.
I think we can assume there will be a competent ref this time so we will see who the better man is.Quote:

The main question for me in this fight is, can George stay disciplined in the later rounds. If he can he wins the fight, if he can't he gets stopped late again. Carl was able to get back into the fight because George lost his shape and began getting roughed up, Carl was hitting on the break, getting close and George still buzzing because of his early success felt he could stand there and still have the advantage. Paddy will have spotted that and will be trinibg George to keep it long and do the right thing up close.
