James Degale gets yet another World Class opponent!

[erics44]

You heard it here first! I think Groves narrowly beats Froch by decision, Froch then hammers Degale and the saga continues.

Not first mate. I made a sig bet with @Tam Seddon the day the fight was announced.

And mark my words the cobra is going to beat Groves inside the distance, Froch is still hungry and an inexperienced Groves is not ready for the challenge. Inexperience at then world level is what I am talking about here and Groves I'm afraid hasn't got that yet. He should have gone down the Stieglitz route because going down the cobra route is the wrong way for Groves to win a belt.

im not so sure you know

the more i thnk about that fight the more i am thinking theres going to be an upset

i think groves might have very good timing

And what's your evidence of that? Froch is still peaking trust me, he's looking better in the ring each time out recently and he keeps a log of his performances in training and each training camp he's improving on all of his times. He's a sharp as ever and proved that against Bute and Kessler. Ward is the one who's on the radar for Froch, not a mandatory challenger of his IBF belt. Even Hearn didn't want this fight because he knows it's danger for Groves deep down.

As I said before Groves should of gone for Stieglitz first and gained more experience against a higher ranked contender and got the WBO belt and he would have earned even more for a WBA/IBF\WBO unification fight and then Froch could have fought Ward for the ring mag belt too. Wish Ward still had that WBC belt and it would have been for every belt at 168.

Let's not get carried away now. I think he stops Groves. Cuz he's just a better fighter. But he's been peaked. Some time ago. I wouldn't call him a declined fighter yet but the slide is coming

Froch wants to fight well into his 40s and as long as he stays fit anything is possible nowadays. I still believe we have a lot more to see from him. It's not like he's ever been badly hurt or anything...

i dont have any evidence, its not an opinion built on science, its a hunch

i am a froch fan, you only have to read on here on any froch thread and im the one saying hes gonna win when everyone else is saying he will lose

having said that it isnt an opinion built on science, there is a bit of boxing thought gone into it - and here it is

styles make fights, froch is hands down move into range and throw bombs, groves is outside and take pot shots then comes in and throw a big combination

froch thinks he is untouchable at the minute, soon as groves pot shots start bouncing off he will get the superman feeling and try and walk through him, the groves comes in with a big hard combination when the time is right

it is mainly a hunch tho

Groves isn't going to hurt Froch though. Look at what happened to Bute, who's IMO faster than Groves. Groves won't be able to get inside Froch to land anything because Froch will control him with the jab and bully Groves into a fight which he isn't strong though to win.

this is the superman syndrome that froch currently has

groves more than has the power to hurt him and has the skills to stay away from a fight

this is exactly why i am thinking it could be good timing, not because froch is on the slide, because froch sees himself as unmoveable

Well Froch has proven his chin many a times so I don't think he has to worry about that. Johnson went 12 rounds with Groves and wasn't really hurt at a all. He got outboxed but he never looked like he was in real danger. Froch is miles better than Johnson though and a heck of a lot busier. Froch has knocked down Groves in sparring and knows what he has to do.

all adds to the untouchable situation

by the way, from what i saw groves hurt johnson a lot more than froch did, i know its hard to compare the two fights because johnson seemed to have been in a lot better shape against froch, and was still ambitious

froch has been wobbled in a frew fights too, he isnt indestructable
