George has improved hugely and has some brilliant techniques, can he with stand the punishment that Froch will hit him with I don't know, don't be deceived that George cant bang because he can,
Froch will win by stoppage but will work hard for it
Again, think Adam Booth is vital in this fight, the way he prepares Groves - as people say above, Groves will be champion at some point, but this chance might be too early IMO
I need a bit more time to think about this before I make a cast iron prediction. At the moment these are my thoughts
Froch is one of the most respected boxers around with good reason, he is a tad one dimensional and can struggle against movers and defensive fighters.
Groves has it all to do, he's got tremendous power and has the punch to stop fights if he is allowed to do so. He has a lot of facets too and can switch styles. He biggest names he has fought are paul Smith, James degale and glenn Johnson.
Really like Groves and have a hell of a lot of respect for Carl Froch too. If I was a gambling man I would go for Groves being the first man to stop Froch. I only say this because you would get huge odds.
I agree with this up to where you finish "Glenn Johnson". Appreciate you know you boxing and also the fact that you're having a snooze on your thoughts. I like groves but just think he's short of that experience/quality. Disagree with earlier comments about Froch's power not being all that. He bangs - don't worry about that. Who has groves had hit him in the same league?
One certainty in my head is Froch will not be stopped - the man can take a disgusting amount of punishment never seen a chin like it. Am still leaning towards Groves.
George hits hard real hard its an underrated ability that he has , people seem to just talk about his technique and his boxing skills, but George is a powerful lad
It will be a exciting fight, froch has a better chin and fights at a better level but look what groves done to johnson far better than froch did, exciting fight as it could end early or go toe to toe for 12 , groves will fight on the back foot and will not stop jabbing this will cause concern for froch because he can be outboxed, froch will look to jump on him early and do a bute on him, this fight is a great match up,great years for british boxing were flying the flag
one is mouth watering for the outcome alone, the second is a great great fight with real potential to be a cracker George may just think his timing is bang on as Froch could think that he is nothing for him to concern himself with and be at 96% not 100 and therefore come unstuck
Groves wins or loses will get many title chances if he does well, he could have took the easier route and fought bika or the wbo champ, i would expect degale to get bika and win
shows his step up from Degale, Nolly too different fighters with different ambitions, Groves is about the long term journey and legacy, Degale is about the title the fame and the instant glorification
I would pay to watch George but I wouldn't pay to watch Degale

I will now sleep on this
Good fight though - where is it likely to be?
also think george has big balls even stepping in with a world level operator such as the cobra
will be a great fight
Froch vs Groves
