Froch....think he actually respects Groves' abilities (although not as a person) more now and will know what to expect.
he let the pantomine of the pre-fight build up get to him too much last time and thought Groves was just a mouthy twat who needed a lesson and he'd be a walk over and got spooked when he realised he actually could fight. can't see that kind of complacency/arrogance happening again though.
will be a close fight though and the pair of them are far more entertaining barracking each other without resorting to the whole "Your momma" type shit than any fighters have been for years!

Froch looked undercooked and casual last time out.
Don't think he'll make that mistake again as Groves is quite decent.
Not sure why anybody wouldn't like Froch though.
He's been an excellent and very underrated ambassador for British boxing.

Froch for me. IMHO froch was unprofessional last time and didn't prepare as well as he should have done and give groves no respect whatsoever. In saying that groves was superb for 8 rounds so takes a lot of credit. But this time around I think you will see a fully prepared froch, a froch that took bute apart in minutes. I'm on bloody holiday so miss it, and i still ain't come out of my bloody cob because if that

has it been signed? i think froch underestimated groves and groves got lucky froch will not make that mistake again That's exactly how I saw it, hence why he was flattened in the first round. Groves will be even more determined to win this time around, Froch won't make the same mistake of underestimating Groves like last time. Makes for a potentially awesome fight. |

I'm with you there mate. I conna stand him,he is a right arrogant prick. I know all top boxers need arrogance and confidence but most of them are likeable with it,Froch isn't and I hope Groves batters him. |

Most boxers are arrogant or have a big mouth, I think froch wins again. Yes they are,but there is just summat about Froch I don't like. He comes across all nice but there is a massive cunt hiding in there and when he gets interviewed it comes out,especially when he is a bit riled. He will probably be too strong for Groves again, but Groves knows he can hurt him and so does Froch so it might be a close run thing again. That said I hope I'm wrong and Groves smashes him first round  |

Winner fights James Degale, who fights Brandon Gonzalez on the Froch - Groves under card. Great for domestic boxing. Just wish Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg would get it on

Before the first fight both them were as bad as each other, let's just hope for a good fight. |

st George Groves win for me.
Came close last time around and won many people over on the night through his performance. I think Froch will have learned to take him more seriously (but as a pro boxer and champion you should take any opponent and fight seriously, so you could say that is no excuse)
Groves no doubt learned from that fight also and will be as up for it as ever. Froch drops his right hand to often when going in with the left jab and if Groves can pick a couple of his own lefts through as he drops Froch could find himself in a sticky situation again. Question will be has he got enough to drop him and keep him down this time around. Hopefully so.

I've thought all along froch would come out and blitz him. However after watching the head to head tonight it's clear as day that froch is facing a mental battle just to keep it together. It's surely draining him and for that alone I'm starting think groves may just beat him. Froch is spending far too much energy in trying to remain cool, I can see him badly burning out come fight night. I hope I'm wrong though. I want Froch drop him.

Froch is spending far too much energy in trying to remain cool, I can see him badly burning out come fight night. I hope I'm wrong though. I want Froch drop him. The opposite should happen IMO. Because groves is finding it so difficult to get to Froch now, he could come out not composed and walk into some shots. The one time Froch really hurt groves, in the 9th, he looked really shaken and subsequently got stopped. I don't buy into the bullshit that it was stopped too early. Had foster not stopped it, Froch would have knocked groves out and groves would not be in the position he is now. The cocky mug should count his lucky stars. SGS |

I'm on countdown mode for this, just like a little boy waiting for Christmas.  I've followed The Cobra pretty much all of his career and when the first fight came about, it was obvious from the moment he entered the ring that he wasn't going to be at his best. Controversial decision or not, he came through a tough fight when fighting completely crap - the mark of a true champ. He is a lot more calm this time around, he looks in immense shape and everything Groves (or Georgia as I like to call him after his little cry last time) has said or done has completely gone over his head. He's not stupid and he's kept the tension at a level its needed to be. I reckon Froch will spoil the event by showing his true class on the night. Groves wont cope and Froch will knock him out within 5 rounds. I'm looking forward to seeing Anthony Joshua again although putting him up against Matt Legg will just be another first round KO. |

Froch comes comes back with some classy counters towards the end. The fight will probably go the same way. Just hope it isn't one of those PR stunts and they really put on a good show |

My boss has been invited to this via work & asked me if wanted to go as he has no clue about boxing,in fairness nor do i much. so i said no.
But i do know, it goes on far too long...If i could turn up late & cut out all the under card events..maybe, but i find it all a bit boring if i'm honest.
