It's a really intriguing fight and I think it could go either way as well. Froch's chances are perhaps inflated by how easily he blew out Bute, I think Groves really has the right style to give him hell as long as his nerves are in check. Froch has struggled with every good mover or counter puncher he's ever fought, and Groves looks to be really good in both of these areas to me. Saying that Groves has no chance just because of experience is oversimplifying things a bit, I don't see Froch as all that much different a guy than he was when he fought Pascal, Taylor, or Dirrell and didn't have a wealth of experience himself. As long as Groves is truly confident and doesn't get lulled into a brawl it should be interesting. He should do everything he can to tune out the crowd and perhaps even be negative in stretches, he needs to use the whole ring and keep Carl guessing.
