He proved versus DeGale he has a strong resolve,a stronger resolve than his opponent.what was there to suggest otherwise in those previous 8 rounds he couldn't or wouldn't have gone on,should he have clinched or took a count ?
Groves had 12 round conditioning that was obvious.hes competed and remained competitive throughout 12 before,present me with anything substantiating that would suggest otherwise,bar Froch's performances in his previous 12 rounders.because at the end of the day they don't tell you anything about George ! Only about Carl Froch ! Your reasoning and debate is flawed.
I believe George wil l be standing at the end of the rematch,victorious on points.the longer this fitght goes on the further Carl will be behind on the cards.Ive seen nothing from Froch in his fight against Kessler 2 to suggest he finishes stronger than his opponent,unless you count the 12th where the referee allowed the fight to continue even though Carl hit Mikkel wit a low blow and still couldn't finish the fight !
George is fresher,hungrier and fitter than both Mikkel and Carl.he is on the same class as them now too,and he will prove he has surpassed Carl when he triumphs in London is coming May.
George has nothing to fear bar his world class power,should the officiating be unquestionably fair.whih is a tall ask regarding a Hearn card.
