OK mate. Froch clearly lost you months ago, I haven't taken how he's been as badly as you. Which then probably skews our perception of events as they happen.

Nice to talk to you mate, sorry if I sounded irritable, I had the dentist's just now, that makes me (even) shorter than normal!

All this does is to make to fight bigger more money involved.

I bet Froch and Groves dont care, More people talking about it the better for both of them.

You would think some people have never heard of selling a fight before.

Why would Hearn do anything he will be loving this and quite right too.

All the squaring up and shoving etc needs to be managed else it goes too far and then boxing is on the front pages for the bad reasons -(Kaylor/Christie, Hide/Bentt, Tyson/Lewis etc).

He was only in for a check up, and to check the nurse out, but he told the dentist he wanted Groves to "Fill him (Froch) in" and one thing led to another. The dentist got the wrong end of the grip. I blame George Groves, natch.

Why didn't Hearn do anything? Because it was as tame and as school play ground as it gets.

It builds interest in the fight and interest means money.

I am forever shocked on here when people get all moralistic, the same people who will be willing both fighters to 'knock the f u c k out of the other one' and think thats a good example to set.

Look lets all get off our moral high horses, this is a great fight, the needle makes it better.

As an aside Groves will always win the build up, he's just a bit more media savvy than Carl.

However, come fight night I sense we may see a focused Froch do a number on him. Saying that this fight could go either way.

I'm not moralistic, in fact I'm barely moral. I like to watch boxing and I don't like it when it's all over the front pages with articles written by anti boxing journalists because a build up has boiled over. I'm middle aged and can remember that it does the sport no good. (Though if Froch did push Groves again I'd laugh if Groves chinned him - or if the gingerbread man was David Haye and he chinned Lee Froch).

I agree.

Hearn needs to show more respect to Groves but seems more interested in riding Carl's co*k. I do like Hearn and what he is doing for British boxing, but the smirking from him on the pitch at Wembly left a bad taste in my mouth, i thought he had more class than that.

On another note, i'd love for Groves to bring along a big bruiser of a mate to the next presser, one more than willing to stick one on Lee Froch's melon.

I agree. It also left a very bad taste in my mouth.

Eddie should have pulled out a hanky and wiped away George's tears, then maybe gave him the business of a good solicitor, afterall he was saying he would be contacting one because Carl "put his hands on me."

That other note you mention, yes, agree there too.

I think all of Groves mates who have been telling Lee that their mother was a "fat b*tch" and that he needs to stay away from the press conference, because they were gonna "shank" him, really need to step up a gear.

Oh so they were there to protect Lee Froch!
Btw what idiot would actually turn up at Wembley Stadium shiv in hand ready to shank Lee in front of the British press?
Mind you Ginger Bread Chan was see lurking around the car park..

I see Groves had the class to turn up without those kind of dick heads in tow, though.

Anyone seen Froch's excuse for pushing him? He told a Guardian journalist he wanted to 'make some room'. :lol:
