By Scott Gilfoid: Amir Khan is going with IBF/WBA super middleweight champion Carl Froch (32-2, 23 KO’s) to beat George Groves (19-1 15 KO’s) in their rematch this month on May 31st at the Wembley Stadium in London, UK. Khan likes Froch’s strength and experience in this fight, and he feels that Froch will be ready for Groves in the early part of the fight to avoid getting nailed by his big shots like last time they fought in November of last year.
“I think it’s a 50-50 fight,” says Khan to Sky Ringside. “It’ll depend on who starts first, and who starts the quickest. If you look at Groves what gave him confidence in the first fight is putting Froch down, and then he had a great few rounds after that. This time Froch is going to know what to expect. He’s going to be more smarter in this fight. I favor Froch in this one. He’s the bigger, stronger guy with more experience, but I think the tables can turn.”
