George Groves Media Workout

Post by 80/20 »

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NqIAbH6 ... 45eHFGAduw

Looks relaxed and sharp (I am fully aware that padwork tells a very different story to a fight) and I for one think that if he can hold this composure into the fight he has the skills to shock a few people and provided he can take Carls power when needed and not get drawn into a Fight by using his boxing skills.

Also any guesses at who the sparring partner is in the video ? ........... :confused:

Why - risk of injury ?

If so, then if you stop sparring a week earlier then they could still get injured.

I have read that Chris Eubank always sparred hard, and always sparred hard up to and including the day before a fight (not saying that this would work for everybody).

Always makes me laugh when people react to what the read without checking the details first!

He can wear what he wants, I can't think he'd give a toss what anyone thought else he'd dress like everyone else.

Groves was just relaxing. You can see he was just playing, whereas Froch was all intense.

Groves by KO!

I was there earlier, groves just going through motions really with some pad work and then Adam smith n jonny nelson got in the ring and asked the same questions they have for last few weeks, essentially different variations of 'why do you think you can beat froch?'

Wasn't a huge amount of people there, not sure groves has really found a fanbase yet, I like the guy but I've noticed a few casuals seem to be a bit put off by his antics in the build up, also in the crowd were saying he had no chance.

I saw that. I was baffled, potentially the greatest or most stupid thing he has said. I guess we will find out, but im not sure I would hang my hat on groves winning first 6 rounds!! Very bold indeed
