Froch struggles against movement from world class fighters, not guys like Groves who have been far from convincing even at domestic level.
Sure, Froch could never beat a slick fighter like Ward, but Groves isn't slick, he just runs and doesn't often throw anything of significance until he gets trapped on the ropes. If he fights Froch like that he is going to come unstuck very quickly.
I wouldn't underestimate Froch's jab either. I think he will land it plenty even if Groves gets on his bike.
The only way I see Groves winning this is if all those hard fights Froch has been in suddenly catch up with him tonight. He's spent his whole career basically blocking punches with his chin and his last fight with Kessler might have taken a lot out of him.
You're right though, it is an interesting fight and the bad feeling just adds to it. Really looking forward to this one.
