Shaping up to be the domestic fight of the year, and showing all the hallmarks of shock, Froch over confident IMHO.

Froch will win in 7 or 8 I think.

It'll be a cracker while it lasts, and Groves will give his all, but I can see him ultimately being outclassed and outgunned.

I predicted Groves would be Degale on here before he did, he is not a mug as Froch is making out and Froch is not as good as he thinks he is

DeGale v groves was a draw for me. GG got lucky to be given the win.

Froch is world class.

All designed to sell ppv....Groves is not in the same league.It wont last three rounds. I admit I've been conned many times before into paying fiffteen quid to watch a fight.But I wont be conned this time, total mismatch.

Groves v degale was a draw all day long. Froche should wrap this up inside 9 rounds. Groves is no mug but is also no Froche

I still think it's more of an act from Froch, he's a pretty humble guy normally.. If he can draw Groves into a brawl, he'll win as there's no way GG could live with his aggression and ability to take a punch with relative ease.

Fancy a wager?

Actually nice one...just noticed the gingerbread man is 100/1 for any round in the first half of the fight, 66 in the second half...

Froch to win by rounds 6-8 too much power and experience for Groves.

I like Groves but he was being a **** tonight which is probably nerves and lack of self-belief, on his part.

I thought Froch looked really rattled at the end, I didnt think Groves was that out of order, self belief is not a bad thing, I don't like making sweeping comparisons but everyone wrote Cassius Clay off when he fought Sonny Liston the first time.

I still believe Groves will win.

Styles make fights and I think this one will be a cracker, simply because, it is so difficult to call. One side says old granite chin, will just be too tough and will wear down the less experienced fighter. The other side says that Froch has struggled against fighters with fast hands and good movement and that Groves can fight this way. I am coming down on the side of the latter, but not with any confidence and I certainly won't be throwing any money at this.

Froch for me around 10. Just been in with better fighters and only Ward out there better.
Having said that Froch is no spring chicken and although always nothing short of top condition when he enters the ring age does play a part sooner or later.

That nonsense tonight was cringeworthy. I don't understand why Froch didn't just laugh in his face. Exactly the kind of thing that makes non-boxing fans think the whole thing is one big childish pantomime.
