I want Groves to win which means Froch will.

Something about Froch just winds me up the wrong way.

I'm no fan of boxing, but what is it about this fight which makes it so massive? It's on SSN everyday but what's so special about it...

The more I read about Groves the more I like but I'm still going for the cobra.

Want Froch to win because Groves is a wanker

Really? What could people possibly dislike about Groves?

I totally agree he is a wanker, you can tell he's spent time around Haye and Booth.

There is genuine dislike between the 2 (well till after the fight I guess) plus in the first fight, where Froch was the odds on favourite, Groves caught him cold early on and dropped him. Then it turned into a slug fest.

Froch won on a contentious stoppage by the ref. personally I think he had groves but there was also some iffy marking on the judges score cards. So it's got it all. A tear up in the offing, revenge, one of the biggest attended fights ever held in one of the biggest stadiums. The chance to see a great champion get one more big pay day in Vegas and retire as a true great or the chance to see a new force emerge.

Groves was getting battered last time. Hope he gets battered again and the ref doesn't step in to stop him getting properly battered.

They're both wankers IMO.

Don't really care who wins, just want to see a good fight and someone get knocked out.

My prediction - Froch round 9, maybe 10

I don't think Groves is a wanker and want him to win but I think he missed his chance in the first fight - Froch to win by the fifth round

Cant see Froch getting caught cold this time, I think he will stop Groves in the second half of the fight.

Who will win depends on who I back at the bookies cause the person I back will lose as is normal when I bet on any sporting event.

Groves looks like the sort of person none of us would be scared to get in the ring with.

Froch on the other hand.....

Groves will knock him out I reckon. I just re-watched the fight and Froch was second best right up until Groves hurt him in the 6th, dropped his guard taunting him and then Froch came in to the fight from then on. I think Groves might well have been taken out eventually but we'll never know. That 6th round is immense. Groves hits him with about 6 great shots in the space of seconds, then really stuns him and another few seconds he could have gone down again. Then Froch came back but there's no way you can say Groves got a battering. He bossed the fight until the 8th round.

Just think Froch could be at the end. Groves can only be better again surely? Interesting fight.

Id like a draw following a double knockout - both complete c***s

I think Froch will win, he underestimated Groves last time, doubt it will happen a second time

Froch all day for me, he's trained like a demon, he's not taking Groves lightly like he did last time & I dont think Groves has the stamina to go 12 rounds with Froch.
Groves has a punchers chance or if he clues up, he'll box & move & out score Froch. That said Froch will get him at some stage, he's too experianced & wily in my opinion. Really really looking forward to this one

I really don't get the hate for Froch on here.

He's never avoided anyone. Unlike calzage. And he's a brilliant warrior. I also don't get the hate for Groves either.

Damn I love taking exctasy for breakfast.

The only thing that has been winding me up is the amount of coverage sky sports news has been giving it. Been trying to follow our new manager stuff, every time I would flick over to see if there was any news. I have to wait at least 10 mins on fucking Foch vs Groves shit, felt like they would report if one of them picked his nose FFS. Anyway, Foch to knockout Groves round 8.
