Froch vs. Groves: Predictions?

[ross]

Froch is the same fighter now that was getting criticised by myself and others a few years ago when Tam was his only fan and before he had faced Reid.

Im looking at the comments in here that are pro Froch and yes hes tough and can keep the same low tempo all night but he still struggles with movement and still loads up on shots that miss by a mile because his opponent had moved already.

I liked the interview on youtube by IFLTV ringside with Georges new trainer Paddy at the open workout. Paddy does point out somethings that make you think. Taylor not a big puncher at middle, moves up a weight and hurts Carl a couple of times in a round then drops him and was winning (until his suspect stamina reared its ugly head again). His point being, Carl may have a good chin but if its there on offer, he will get hurt and lets be honest, Carl hasnt got any quicker. Hes still getting hit, which is what made the Kessler fight exciting. He also asked Kugan who he thought won the Dirrell fight and Kugan had a job to answer.

Groves certainly punches harder or at least as hard as Taylor, he also has decent footwork.

Im not a fan of Haye but if he can drag his chin on all fours through 12 rounds with the biggest puncher in boxing then im sure Groves chin could go 12 with a slowing Froch who doesnt have the size advantage that Wlad did over Haye.
