This is an interesting fight but let's not kid ourselves, Andre ward would absolutely put on a boxing clinic against these two..just like he did to froch in their first fight.

Can't disagree with that but they're both good fighters in their own right and it's to their great credit that a fight between 2 domestic boxers can pull in a crowd of 80,000. If I'm not mistaken, that's an unprecedented figure in modern-day boxing with the exception of Chavez fighting in his homeland. Hatton at his peak is the only other fighter that I could imagine drawing a crowd as big as tonight's.

As for the fight itself, I'm really looking forward to it but I'm not particularly arsed who wins as long as it's as entertaining as the first encounter - I just want to see a war!

I am still on the fence for the fight. I think if it goes to cards Froch will lose and Groves by split decision. I think there will be a few knock downs. Each going down at least once. Now trying to find a pub to watch it.

Undercard Mcdonald and Mitchell all to win. Degale to be beaten on the biggest stage. Setting up Froch v Groves 3 for the end of the year lol.

I really want Groves to kick his arse......... can't stand Froch and he was saved from defeat last time.... such a travesty

I am the complete opposite - can't stand Groves one bit and hope Froch destroys him.

I reckon Groves will try and end this as quickly as possible. He knows Froch will gain the upper hand the longer it goes. I'm going for a Groves stoppage inside 3 rounds.

 

[PistonBlue]

Froch in the 10th. I think Groves will burn himself out trying for the ko. Froch will not be anywhere near as bad as he was the last time.
I hope so anyway

Seen snippets of Frochs sparring against Eubank Jnr and he's looked very poor.

Some good signs for Froch fans though as he had his left hand high and was circling away from the right hand.

Im going to go for Groves on points
