Who do we think will win? Got to be Groves on his home turf hasn't it, suggestion Froch might be carrying a niggle in his elbow too.

Nigel Benn's old trainer reckons it's the biggest fight in British boxing history, and he's in a better position to call it than most. Can't wait.

Froch I think. If they're both fit.

I don't think Groves can hurt Froch.

Jim Watt is a shit commentator by the way. Ruined the fight for me. :mad:

For me, it's all about Groves. If he can learn from his complacency near the end of the first fight, he should win comfortably. He's the better boxer of the two, and, if he keeps Froch on his leash, he could even win an eventual KO.

Froch, though, is always dangerous: one sniff, and he can hurt a guy. He managed it at the end of the last fight, and could easily have ended it without the decision. I'm not ruling him out.

Will be a very interesting fight. I say Groves wins a decision.

im leaning towards groves.
But i dislike the twat quite a lot, and would love froch to leather him ..
that said, froch took the best that groves had, after being near Ko'd right at the start and recovered to win, even if it was ropey ..

Want froch to win, groves is good enough to win..

Conk, the more I hear Groves opens his mouth in the build up to this fight the more I want Froch to win.

Fucking Jim Watt again, what a dickhead.

He reckoned Groves saw the right hand coming and was turning his head away as it landed. :shock:

K-Bom: Watt was a prick throughout. No way was Froch as dominant as he made out in the first 5.

Brutal KO. Will probably be the best of 2014

Has it finished now? Can we stop making a fuss and get back to normal?

Great fight, did well to get close to living up to all the hype and theatrics. Glad Froch won and it was decided by a clear cut KO. Lets himself down a bit in the post fight interviews though - people would be a lot more inclined to give him the credit he deserves if he shut up about it himself for 2 minutes.

Great night for British boxing. Not really excited at the prospect of Froch v De Gale, would rather see him test himself in Vegas.
