Froch vs Groves

First topic message reminder :

Groves has been made mandatory for the IBF title.

purse bids expected July 24th if a deal isn't reached between the camps.

Fight to happen in October.

Thoughts?

RDR: Completely agree. Froch isn't really much of a stunning one-punch KO artist, he more bludgeons people into submission, kind of like Margarito did against Cotto.

Like I said though, I'd still favour Froch, although only slightly. This is, if signed, absolutely a winnable fight for Groves, given his attributes.

As an addendum to the my first para though, I will say that I get the feeling someone doesn't need to be a stunning one-punch KO artist to stop Groves. I don't think he's chinny, but I have no doubt he can be hurt more easily than is ideal for this game.

Froch doesnt hit that hard at all and neither does Groves. This fight will go the distance with hopefully Groves winning but with Frochs experience I expect the slimester to get the victory

Think Groves hits a little harder than you give him credit for Steffan. His last opponent was only stopped once before and that was be Stevenson who hits like a train. Groves walks you on to his right hand that where the real power lies.

This would be a tough night and he wouldn't be able to relax for a second, would be great to see Groves get the win though.
