    If groves paces himself better he's in for a comfortable night imo. My worry is his ego getting in the way and * be drawn into a war with froch which he won't be able to win.

    I think it is going to be a lot more comfortable for Groves than people expect.

    I don't think he will get drawn in like last time until the last few rounds.

    Groves has annoyed me a bit since the announcement that the rematch was on and then again when he's coming out saying there won't be a second rematch if he wins on Saturday.

    He's got a clear speed and technical advantage. If he can keep himself getting drawn in he's got it.

    If he's learned from the last fight then I don't see froch threatening too much.

    I want Froch to win, and think he will.Maybe 4-6 rounds stoppage if forced to bet!

    I reckon Groves over the 12, was just talking to Gary Jacobs there, he said he's going down and fully expects Froch over 6 rounds. Might put a few quid on both.

    I'll need a link on fight night. I usually order stuff like this but Once again I didn't get enough pay for the hours I worked and I spent the rest on wwe extreme rules.

    Noticed odds of around 9/4 for the fight to be won in the first six rounds. Superb price.

    Not sure where to go on this one, fancied Froch up until about Thursday now think I'll plump for Groves

    If anybody is stopped within that distance it'll be Groves. Froch has never been stopped and it want happen tomorrow especially in the first 6 rounds. If Groves win it'll be on points.
