    What's going to happen if it starts pishing it down?

    If groves paces himself he'll win easy on points.

    I think anyway. I'm certainly not a boxing expert. :smiley-laughing002:

    I see it the other way around. If the first fight is anything to go by, then Groves will come flying out of the traps. The longer the fight goes on, that is beneficial to Froch.

    He may come flying out the traps again but Froch well be a helluva a lot more prepared to start this fight much better than he did last time round. Groves needs to fight smart.. if he tries to go to war with Froch he'll be put on his * again.

    Froch will win. He underestimated Groves last time, he wont this time.

    i want Groves to win though.

    I thought they would have closed the roof but I assume the forecast is to be dry.

    Mitchell has just missed his weight, so even if he wins tonight he now, may not get a crack at the title next.

    Not through them going to war like I mentioned, he just got hit with a lovely shot.



    It really is a tough fight to call, a can see either fighter winning, Froch could even be knocked out for the first time although it's the least outcome of the match.

    A still see Froch stoppage and winning between rounds 8-12

    Would love to see that big * anthony joshua get knocked out, no chance though as he's fighting another dud isn't he?

    Well he's 1/200 favourite with some bookies that tells the guy is a dud. A love the big guy really looking forward to seeing how he's develops. Exciting times, but still very early days in his career though.

    Why do you dislike him? He comes across as a decent guy.

    He didn't underestimate him, it's a BS excuse.

    I'm telling everyone, Groves to win outright is at a GREAT price. Honestly I assumed after the last bout he would have started as a narrow favourite or at least evens.

    He shagged ma bird mate.

    Kiddin on, just think he's overhyped to *, same kinda way frank bruno got overhyped when he was coming through. Tbh i dont actually dislike him that much, just think it would be funny to see him get sparkled after all the hype
