Froch - Groves to meet on Sky Ringside special

[ross]

This could be a really good fight, don't know how Groves will handle it more than anything but it can't hurt to talk yourself up. Froch does seem a bit rattled in that video, and he's a bit of a cunt isn't he. Doubt he'd let this affect him in any big way, but he's obviously pissed and Groves isn't an easy opponent for him anyways.
It's all on Groves to show what level he is really at and what kind of chin he has for one thing, but he has the right kind of style to beat Froch imo. He'll have to be smart and have done a lot of work, but he does have some tools Froch won't like. If Froch can cut off the ring and get to him it might be curtains early like the Bute fight though, I have no idea.

Now point out the tools froch has that groves won't like?

Strength, resliance, ambition, stamina and experience.

Also, the nagging doubt in the back of his mind pr rather the knowledge that Froch can catch him and is very capable of hurting him. Add those atteibutes above to someone who is capable of hurting you and no matter what Groves says and how fucking stupid he makes Froch look in interviews, make no mistake that George knows hes in deep here.

Even against Ward, he wouldnt have that fear of getting hurt. Faced with power he might just curl up in to his shell, run, freeze anything. Just look at what happened to Cleverly who showed no real fear leading up to Kovalev. I was very surprised at how easy Cleverly made it for Kovalev and that is down to fear of facing someone who is genuinely capable of taking your head off.

Groves is a young guy, he could have easily waited around for a winnable title shot to come up. Instead he asked for and got the Froch fight. Considering he's sparred him and admits to being decked, if he goes in and bottles it that would be very surprising. Why seek the fight in the first place? It's not like he's getting a fortune for it.
