Can't wait for this one.

I think Froch will win this by stoppage.
 
Hope its as good as the last one I'm leaning towards Groves just to edge it. Froch will take it a lot more seriously this time but I think Groves youth might be the deciding factor.
 
Well i'm from Nottingham and see him on the street sometimes - Froch all the way!!
 
There's a nice payday for both Groves and Froch if Groves was to win, a third and final decider would be huge...

I really hope Froch wins though, he's been an outstanding boxer and has never ducked a challenge.

Depends how the fight goes really. If Groves wins a close decision so be it but if he KO's him early or schools him for 12 rounds then it's not really needed.

Yes, if Froch loses I think he will retire rather than fight Groves a third time.

This fight has that extra dimension because of the controversial way the first fight was stopped - hence the hype surrounding it. If Groves wins this one comfortably, there will be less interest in a third fight.

My nephew's on BGT tonight too so the ring walk will have to take a back seat as it clashes with the results show!
 
Hopefully Froch wins this as Groves just a typical cocky Londoner.

Froch needs to use the jab and keep his hands up for a change. When he boxes smart like he did vs Abraham he's a better fighter.

Could just get sucked into a punch up though and leave himself open to getting caught. But has Groves got the punch to KO him? I know he knocked him down 1st round last time but didn't finish him off.
 
Plus there's Glasgow Warriors v Leinster on first - big TV night in this household!

Groves wins the jab exchanges no question. He finds the range better, is faster and Carl is simply too slow to react. If Froch tries to do what he did against Abraham then he'll just eat jabs all night and not land anything.

The only way Froch wins this is if Groves tires again in the late rounds which this time I don't think he will.
 
They're both bell ends. Groves to win simply cos I don't like Froch.

I used to like Froch until the post fight interview after the first Groves fight. If he'd have just congratulated a decent challenger instead of being an arrogant cunt he'd wouldn't have lost so many fans.

Froch jab is underated. He barely used it in first fight and when he did it was like a pawing shot. Needs to use it in this fight and I think he wins.

Froch wins for me on power, jab, stamina and overall fight.

Groves wins on speed and slipperyness.
