A good lengthy interview with Tris Dixon. He opens up here about lead ups to his big fights, the fights themselves, and is quite candid about his relationships with Adam Booth, Paddy Fitz, Shane McGuigan etc.

Worth a listen.

Yes, I listened to it at the weekend. He tells a great tale, going right back to the start.

Finally got round to listening to this yesterday. Brilliant stuff, the 3 and a half hours flew by.

Might have been the best one so far.

Great stuff. Great career with highs and lows. So glad he got the big domestic win he deserved. Hard to know for certain but a peak groves, for me, beats Callum smith

Groves? George Groves :lol:

I did enjoy seeing the arrogant blighter getting knocked sparko by Froch ( a record crowd of 80,000 people as Froch likes to remind us)

I don't dispute it was an amazing knock down or fight finisher, but Groves wasn't knocked out by Froch. The ref waved it off within a few seconds of the knock down. In fact, Groves was back on his feet by about 9 seconds and that was with the referee trying to keep him on the floor.

Yeah Groves did his best to get up but the ref pinned him down.

Yep, I think he blacked out momentarily but he was good for beating the count. The ref kept him down.
