Groves will finish the job properly this time. A technically superb fighter who will beat an ageing Froch IMO.

[Mike]

Heading down to London for this tomorrow can't wait.

I keep changing my mind - Froch will be a lot better this time around, but Groves looked a different class on the night.

I can see Froch jumping on Groves early on and then slowing down after round 5.

For now I'll say Groves in 7

[Shaggy]

Basically none of us have got a clue and that's what makes it so ****ing exciting

[Gray]

Agreed, I may have a small punt on a draw.

That crook Hearn will want a 3rd fight and the only way i can see that happening is a very controversial win like the first fight or a draw

[Zapater]

That's the thing, I've been thinking Groves the whole time, based on what happened the last time, but now I'm thinking it'd be stupid to write off Froch. Especially when you consider how many other guys who should've beaten him have lost. When i say should I mean regarding their pedigree and boxing skills, Froch has since proven his quality. I'm really not sure who is the favourite, but it should be a great fight. And the card is also quite decent so looking forward.

28-1 the draw currently.

[Doc_Piptorious]

Said after the last fight that I would fancy Froch to win any rematch, and nothing has changed my mind on that.


Froch will be better than he was in the first fight, would actually be difficult for him to be that poor again imho, but I don't think Groves has another levels to go to above what he showed in the first fight.


My guess is that a motivated and focused Froch will get a stoppage over a motivated and focused Groves.

Final press conference has started

[Chris]

That was a bit rubbish, though Froch did manage to mention how great a career he's had, how fantastic a career he's had and how his trainer has got an MBE. Think he missed out "warrior" though surprisingly.

[Mr Darko]

Froch for me too - I'm going for a round 10-12 KO/TKO at 13/2

Can't stand Groves, used to seem humble and decent a few years ago - that and he's a Chelsea fan!

[PTP]

i'm not sure who will win or even who i want to win

i never really thought much of groves, just thought he was a mouthy wannabe - froch had been around a while and fought at the top and been likeable.

then groves completley stunned me in the first fight - both out the ring and inside.

since then froch has also acted like a cunt


i think (with my limited knowledge) that froch will be too good, so in that sense i'd think i'd prefer to see the underdog groves win.

but i've no idea who i like and who will win - i just want to see a good ****ing tear up.

What's that David? You want some attention because there's a big british fight and you're feeling left out? Go on then...

Retired former world heavyweight champion David Haye is preparing to make a comeback to the ring, according to his trainer Adam Booth.

Haye, who has not fought since he beat Dereck Chisora in July 2012, was forced to pull out of fights with Tyson Fury in September last year and the re-scheduled bout in February after rupturing tendons in his shoulder.

He was told by doctors not to fight again but, according to Booth, the 'Hayemaker' has now been given the all-clear to return to competitive action.

"It's true, 100% true, David is coming back," Booth told the Daily Express.

"We will not be making any big announcement but David has been given the all clear by his medical people and he wants to fight again.

"We plan to get back in the ring before the end of the year and preferably by October.

"David has started training and there is no need to keep this a secret any longer. He has been trying to recuperate for five and a half months and only now has he been given the all clear to fight again."

Haye is expected to target the winner of July's showdown between Fury and Chisora for his comeback fight
