    Froch will win.

    I said before the first fight that Groves had a real chance and that his style was all wrong for Froch and he did, it was and he still lost. Froch is old and is ready to be taken but what I saw from the first fight was Taylor - Froch all over again; it's nee good beating Froch for five or six rounds and then fading into the distance, because if you do the farmer will eventually catch up with you. The stoppage in the first fight was premature but it did Groves a favour, because he was seconds from a nap - he had ran out of gas and real soon after the punch that send him sidewards he was fucking toast.

    Groves could win, he might well win but Froch will not underestimate him this time and IMO this is his last fight - you can tell by how hesitant he is (for the first time, ever) that he knows the end is nigh - so he'll bide his time and smash the ginge around late again, and this time no ref will dare stop it until Groves is sparked the fuck out.

    That's how it ends.

    I'm obviously no Groves fan but he was not close to taking a nap. I don't understand that line of thinking to be honest, he was a little shaken I guess, but I never thought he was ready to go or anything. Froch was in a far worse state at various points throughout the fight. In fact if I remember correctly, Hucknall had him rocked in the very same round he was stopped.

    The worst thing that happened to the farmer in that round was the stoppage, because he was teeing off on Groves, the middle of the ring, when the fat corrupt ref did his job and got the rematch arranged. Watch it again - Groves was turned away and halfway down when Froch was in the middle of unloading a bunch of shots.

    I also think that Froch was on his way to ko Groves. I expect Froch to pretty much brutalised him this time around, like I tought he would do in the first fight.

    Another fight where you could see the fix was in with the commentary......also that Hagler would have been blown out by Froch.
