Froch - Groves to meet on Sky Ringside special

[erics44]

People forget Groves is prone to cuts and he has been put down and hurt a number of times. We are not talking about someone who has the skills of Andre Ward or the chin of Kessler.

Youv got a good point.

I can see Groves giving Froch problems but on past performances against the likes of Anderson and Smith how does Groves stop Froch?

The only way I can see is to do what he did against DeGale. Fight like hes in against Mike Tyson and back peddle and skirt tye ring, much like Haye did against Valuev.

As long as Froch forces the action and starts quick again I have a hard time seeing Groves win. I could still see Groves giving Carl problems until the 7th or so and then downhill from there.

smith? it was a nice punch but he wasnt trouble by it, groves win over smith was impressive

i still back groves, first time ive backed against froch

He was troubled by it, the only reason he didnt get in any more trouble is because its Smith! A fighter who should be a middleweight and who struggles with british level fighters.

Had that been Froch it would have been similar to the Bute ending!

If and when Groves gets hurt Carl can keep pouring it on and its doubtfull Groves has the wherewithal to hurt or stop the oncoming rampage from one of the fittest and toughest fighters in the world.

Groves was even in a little bit of trouble at the end of the first round against Johnson, who he had been throwing everything at!

i dont agree, i dont think he was, he stepped back, but there was no sign he was shaken

groves win over johnson was much more impressive than froches, i accept that johnson had a lot more ambition against froch
