    But I hope George Groves knocks Carl Froch's block off.

    Why?? Boxers have to come out and be cocky because they arnt gonna come out and say 'oh he will beat me to hell' groves is just as bad as froch. Never understood all this hate for him...

    Froch is gonna disappoint you. Late stoppage again. Don't get too excited when Groves starts the fight better either, it's what Froch does, he'll get the job done in the end. Has to be a top fighter to beat him and as much as I like Groves, I don't think he is that.

    Groves is the Keith Hill/David Flitcroft to Froch's Brian Clough/Bill Shankly.

    Surprised at you, Conan.

    Too close to call for me.

    The question for me is whether froch underestimated groves last time or whether age is catching up.

    If it's age then it's groves, if it was underestimation previously then froch will just grind him down.

    Exactly. The Nottingham accent really grates on me.

    Froch will stop him again. Groves had his best change in 1st fight. Froch has had 12-13 tough fights on the spin.

    Agree with the majority on here. Froch nearly always finds a way. Especially if somebody goes toe to toe with him and wants a real war. Groves doesn't have the nouse to box on the move for 12 rounds, and when he eventually slows and is in the trenches, Froch will finish him.

    Surprised anyone here is backing Froch considering he's from Nottingham. Just wonder how many of them will be joining in the inevitable "Scab" chanting tomorrow!
