7. Groves To Execute His Bold Predictions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLRwM9wMMqc&feature=youtu.be During his press conference in November Groves told everyone his game-plan from the first round.
"I'm going to meet you centre of the ring. First round. And I'm going to win the jab exchanges. I'm going to hit you with two right hands. Just two. Just to let you know whenever I want I can hit you with a right hand".
How foolish did everyone seem when Groves did exactly what he said he was going to do and put Froch on the floor with a knockdown? Yesterday Groves predicted he will stop Froch with a left hook by the third round. It was a statement to the boxing world of how confident Groves was and also another way to disturb Froch's preparation. The thinking behind the prediction is that Froch will be told to keep his left hand up to make sure Groves does not have the dominant success in the previous fight with a single punch. With Froch being so concerned about the possibility of a right hand, he won't see the left hook coming. Even though he seemed Froch came into the fight without a game plan if he or his trainer did listen to Groves they would have only a few days to adapt to his predictions. Surely lightning won't strike twice and Froch will be prepared for the left hook even if it is more mind games. There is a reason Floyd Mayweather does not let the cameras roll when he is practicing his tactics.
