oh its on time for Groves to shut Froch up i beleive Groves won the first fight i for one cant wait for this they just had thier first back and forth on sky sports news it was just like the build up before Groves giving it out and Froch had very little come back the fight is set for May 31st

Hope Groves wipes the floor with Froch. Groves got booed in and cheered out of the fight back in November. Showed everyone he isn't all mouth and speak with his fists.

If George Groves (19-1, 15 KO’s) is going to get a rematch against IBF/WBA super middleweight champion Carl Froch (32-2, 23 KO’s), then it’s probably going to take a change of tactics for him to get Froch to start showing interest in giving him a second chance.
Froch says he’s not interested in fighting Groves again because he’s not shown him the proper respect since their controversial fight from last month in Manchester. Froch won that fight by a 9th round stoppage after he hurt Groves with a series of head shots that caused the referee Howard John Foster to step in and halt the fight.


There’s no question that Groves has been talking nonstop about how Froch owes him a rematch due to the controversy of their bout, and he’s complained bitterly to anyone that would listen that he was treated unfairly.
Instead of Groves realizing that the referee made what he felt was the correct decision in stopping the fight in the 9th round when Groves was hurt by Froch, Groves has insisted that the referee made a mistake. This in turn has put Froch in a position where he has to either defend the referees decision or agree with Groves and thus cheapen his won victory.
Froch said to the Daily Express via Sky Sports as saying: “Groves has been telling anyone who would listen I have a duty to fight him. I beat him fair and square. The referee stopped the contest and there is no arguing about the fact he was down and out. Of course he wants to fight me again as he wants to make a killing. But why should I? I’m the champion and that means I call the shots.”
Froch went onto say that Groves never gave James DeGale a rematch after beating him by what some boxing fans felt was a controversial 12 round majority decision in 2011. DeGale wanted the rematch, but Groves chose to move forward with his career rather than face DeGale a second time.
It seems that Groves is showing his youth by not realizing that a champion like Froch is really the one that calls the shots. With his victory, as controversial as it was, he can move on and he doesn’t have to fight Groves a second time. It would be nice if he did, but why should he be nice when he feels that Groves isn’t showing him any respect. With the way that Groves is talking in the media, he’s just making it easier for Froch to move on rather than doing Groves a favor and giving him a second fight.

Groves deserves the rematch. Not only because he was unfairly beaten (was gonna cheated but probably too strong), but alos because he has been presses for the rematch so well considering he doesn't even have a manager to force the turn of events. I wanted Froch the win the first one, but now I am not so sure, but my money would be on Froch. Just hope we are not talking about a bad decision next time!

froch will hopefully lose. he is vastly overated, and got completely exposed by groves last time.

Funny how people let perceptions get the better of them.. Froch will be remembered for his 2 fights against Groves with the assumption that Froch will get knocked out.. Really ? I am sure Froch would be remembered for many fights including the Groves ones.. Been a fighting a champion from the beginning and if he turns up against Groves, we are in for another classic..

bump this to the top

i think personally groves will come out all guns blazing, having out money on groves to win the first fight i would still put the same bet on now and have groves to win but he will need to win in the early rounds the longer the fight goes on the more it plays in to froch's hands like we saw in the first fight. i have to say the decision to stop the fight was a joke but hopefully we can see another great fight between them.

well wembley is now the venue which i think works in groves favour if the fight was in nottingham like froch wanted then he probally would of won but now its in london i feel it makes groves the favourate i cant wait for the rematch

Hopefully be a great fight, can't wait for it!
