Aah thanks Expe. So Eddie gave Geairge a couple of gimmes to look good in front of the Sky audience all geared toward the Froch PPV concluding exactly when the final bell tolls. It would be quite amusing if his plan went arse about tit.expe wrote:It was a 3 fight deal, this is his 4th fight, or 3rd if the fight in Germany doesn't count.

The plan was definitely to match Froch and Groves, in the belief that Froch would come out victorious and if Groves chose to leave, he chose to leave. The problem for Hearn is that if Groves wins, he isn't tied down in any way and can go where he wants, which seems to have been Groves plan all along. Unusually, Warren didn't contest him leaving and said it was amicable, Groves and Booth saying they wanted to go in a different direction, that being a fight with Froch. If Groves wins, Booth will have outthought everyone again, he's been quiet the last couple of months, no ones heard from him and he's deleted his twitter account. I get the feeling he's going to turn up in the corner on the night, in an attempt to throw Froch off, if Groves goes onto win, he's won a world title, got a big payday while beating the best fighter in the country, leading to a potential rematch with DeGale, while being free of any promotional obligations.Final round wrote:Aah thanks Expe.

Nice position to be in 8) 8) 8) He's going to have to go to hell and back to get there though!expe wrote: If Groves goes onto win, he's won a world title, got a big payday while beating the best fighter in the country, leading to a potential rematch with DeGale, while being free of any promotional obligations.
I though Froch said a planned line and then turned away, 'your breath stinks' isn't much better than 'you're ugly' like DeGale said over and over. Froch looks taller though it may be the camera angle; Groves looks ok up close though didn't impose himself verbally, he responded to what Froch said rather than make a loud bold statement. I have to say I prefer Groves to Froch though I can't put my finger on it.Finn wrote:Heres the link to the face off, George looks rattled to me, froch has 100% self belief in this fight. Groves craps himself then starts to mouth off afterwards but froch already saw he intimidated him. He has the psychological edge by a mile.

I thought Groves looked taller at the face off. When they did the little bit with Nelson though Groves looked like he had shrunk.palooka wrote:I though Froch said a planned line and then turned away, 'your breath stinks' isn't much better than 'you're ugly' like DeGale said over and over.

It is a strange one. Nobody, not even Ward, has had an easy night against Froch.TheCobra wrote:I do love this perception that somehow Froch is a poo boxer who can easily be outboxed. Froch was a really good amateur as well people seem to forget that. He has the skills up to a certain level and has only struggled against really slick guys like Taylor, Ward and Dirrell.
I don't put Groves at the level of any of them, especially in terms of slickness, Froch is not gona find it too hard to find Groves - after a few rounds of spoiling tactics he will have to engage at some point and isn't slick enough to avoid Carl's bombs like those guys mentioned above. The way Kenny Anderson had Groves going just does not bode well for him in this fight.
Yep, you've got Groves dissing Froch in those 3 fights but:lillywhite14 wrote:It is a strange one.

Your becoming deluded!Groove Armada wrote:Ward bear him with a broken hand.
Froch is tough but mentally you can see when he he troubled.
Ward had an easy night bar the last few rounds.
And that was due to fatigue from Ward.
Froch is no calzaghe. GG Wins.
Groves isn't going to win easily but Froch would have struggled to win a round against Calzaghe.hurlock wrote:Your becoming deluded!Groove Armada wrote:Ward bear him with a broken hand.

Froch is a three time world champion & has competed top level! Calzaghe was padded out lets not forget.
Groves has plenty of ability & can cause a few problems. But to suggest that he's going to win easy is a joke. If groves does pull it off he will be pipping froch
Even Mack lasted 3 rounds, Groves is a class above him and is capable of taking Froch deep into the fight.G0mez wrote:Groves has a date in front of the BBBoC next week as Booth is chasing his managers fee for the Froch fight.
Carl is training like a beast. He's nasty and irritable - it's not 6 rounds its 3 rounds max.
It's not a case of GG getting under anyone's skin - he's the one putting a front on, not Carl.
He's getting banjo'd.
I'm pleased we are now talking common sense about how long George can survive being blown away, than actually winning this.expe wrote: Even Mack lasted 3 rounds, Groves is a class above him and is capable of taking Froch deep into the fight.
