Carl Froch was at the fights

Who's that man photo bombing Terry?

I don't know. I tried to strike up some small talk, but he told me he only does 80,000 in a football stadium style talk. Then my other half saw the clip on Twitter and said: "You looked good in a serial killer kind of a way. You should grow your hair again."

The powers that are running Sky boxing (into the ground) didn't do a full show reply so I didn't get to watch the fights in full as soon as I got back. On site, I thought Crolla edged it but Perez's punches were cleaner at times and his shots through the middle were especially good.

With the deductions thrown in it looked a fair shout.

Just add a pair of sunglasses and you'd look like Jean Reno in Leon.

That kids combover has gone a bit far.

Murray's little boy?

Froch has got a stalker. I imagine Carl will be found buried in a Boxrec poster's garden, wearing a dress and with an orange in his mouth.

I'm sure he won't mind.

Watched again on Sky scored it 116-112 Crolla. His defence was impressive I thought watching in the TV. Perez is decent had success with the right hand and should have used more. A fair few lightweights I would fancy to beat Perez though.

As long as it's done in front of a crowd of 80,000 I'm sure he'll be fine with it :P

I had a sneaky feeling Quigg would get an early KO but still very impressive,Kiko won the first but that uppercut in the next round was textbook and so was the right hand to finish it,Scott's one of the best finishers in boxing IMO and I'm glad he's getting some kudos and a lot of support

I agree, that uppercut that did for Martinez was ace. His whole body wilted to it. I thought he was surviving though, great hook to finish him. Quigg finished it strong against a class opponent.

In what sense does a serial killer look good?

Sorry to go OT, but can reggae or one of the London lads serve me up some insider directions to Wembley. I want to, erm, look at that hallowed turf.

just ask Carl; I'm sure he knows how to find it!

Just look for the football pitch with the George Groves' shaped hole in the turf, there can't be many of them about.

I hope he never lets it lie. I'd love it if Froch popped up in a shady bar when in his 70s with a misty-eyed, middle-distance former Vet type stare that piques the interest of the youngsters.

"You must have seen some things, man."

"Yeah. I remember doing a tour of Wembley. The enemy came at me with a tank, but I've got two rockets—one's called K and the other's call O—so I used them to get us out of trouble. It was intense. Eight thousand people lost their souls that night, because that's how many people were present in the enemy ranks. The whole of Nottingham came down there, all 70,000 of them. The city lost millions in revenue that night and struggled to recover.

...But I really don't like talking about it."
