    Froch is a strong puncher because he puts alot of effort in to each shot. Je hasnt got the snappy sort of sharpness and speed to have one shot KOs. I think he will struggle to land any of those kids of shots on George.

    George will be well aware of his chin and wont be in front of Carl trading. Kessler is a sharp puncher but he also trades and relies on his chin but so many fighters who have faced Froch have said the same thing, hes slow. He is a bit like Abraham that he will plod along at the same pace all night and not slow. If Groves has anything and has speed then he will be a nightmare for a wound up Froch.

    Nothing will surprise me in this one , I will go with the champ but I agree that groves may well cause froch loads of problems.
    I wouldn't even be surprised if froch has to get off the floor to win this one.
    Foch ko 7 but I wouldn't put money on it.

    I've watched the Froch Ward fight a few times, and Ward landed very clean counter shots on Froch on many occasions. Anyone think Groves has better power than Andre Ward?

    If Groves does, then Froch may well find himself on the floor, as he isn't incredibly hard to hit on the counter at all, especially if he gets frustrated at Groves movement. Thing is, I, like others have already mentioned, don't think Groves can keep Froch off him for a full 12 rounds, and thinks he has a bit of a vulnerable chin and at certain points in the fight you'll see small wars break out. Not toe to toe, as that would be stupid for Groves, but certainly here and there at the end of the rounds.

    If I was forced to bet, I'd say Froch by stoppage mid way through the fight 6-8. I have this vision that the fight ends up looking a little bit like Katsidis vs Mitchell, just a little later.....

    could be a good shout although the difference could be that i heard mitchell wasnt in good shape for kat

    could have just been an excuse tho

    I don't really care who wins, I've sided with Groves because he's the underdog, but really I'm just hopeful he puts up a good fight.

    But also Froch is unbearable, he's not even the best supermiddle in the world but talks like he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. "I'm not blowing my own trumpet but".....every fucking interview
