Carl Froch vs George Groves -- Negotiations underway!

[ross]

The article says it is unlikely happen until next year, so I think he probably fights someone else first. I don't think Groves will be a walk in the park for Froch and I would not be surprised if George beats him. He is young, hungry and carries plenty of power. Groves by tko, late rounds.

Groves by tko that's got to be the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.

Why? I am a big fan of Froch but he has never been difficult to hit and he will not have the pace to keep up with Groves. If Groves lands repeatedly, like I think he will, their is no reason not to believe that a cut or swelling that stops him seeing, or puts him in danger of serious irreparable injury will cause the reff will stop it. I can even see Groves putting Carl on his backside more than once. A come forward fighter like the Cobra is tailor made for Groves who will not underestimate Froch unlike the Nottingham man who is starting to carried away with his own publicity.

"Not have the pace to keep up with Groves"?

Are you joking?

Froch might get out worked but there is no way that Groves would have survived Kessler beyond the 6th in their last fight. He was really pouring it on.

Groves has the same dull style as Haye which is not built around work rate. He very nearly blew a gasket in the first round against Johnson. Had that been Froch, Kessler, Bika, Steiglitz or even Abraham instead of Johnson, Groves would have been in the shit by the midway point.

15 KO's in 19 fights can hardly be described as a dull style. I am not questioning Froch's stamina, I am merely stating the FACT that he will not have the speed and pace that Groves will bring. Kessler is slowing, Froch is slowing. Bika is shit and Groves would stop him and Abraham on the same night. If Groves nearly blew a gasket in the first round against Johnson then how do you explain him still being there 11 rounds later to have his hand raised?

Read the part in red. It all relates to Froch. I said he could get outworked but Groves style wouldnt work against Kessler

Groves style isnt built around workrate. If it was he would not have got stopped

He slowed to the point Carl caught up with him.

What happened to Groves having the same dull style as Haye ?

I coloured some stuff in Green to go with your lovely Red stuff
