    Groves winds him so easily it's unbelievable, he's in his head already .

    Agree, it was a cracking fight! Thought Bruno was tiring, but he did really well.

    Only 26,000 watched that fight though (I think).

    First of all - you can't make 100% predictions like that.

    Secondly - there's no way that would have been a 10/8 round!

    The Groves fight will have taken more out of Froch than the Kessler fight did.

    It isn't really home advantage. Groves doesn't have 50,000 fans. This fight will bring out a lot of casuals who will probably root for Groves, but they're not all London based.

    The foreign ref/judges doesn't hand advantage to either fighter.

    Also, if Groves loses he doesn't fall down the pecking order too much. A couple of wins and he'd be back in the picture.

    It would have been a 10/8 round if froch had floored him, which was looking likely IMO. You seem 100% on that, surely you can't be, no?

    I'll give you that, if he had gone down.

    I'm not 100% on anything as you just don't know, that's my point, and that's mainly why 60,000 tickets sold in an hour yesterday and why I was so desperate to get one. I don't have a prediction on the rematch, and I couldn't have told you what would have happened in the first had the ref not stepped in.
