I'm looking forward to this fight, they keep saying that it's Groves talk that has built the fight up but I fancied it because I watched Groves beat Alcoba and thought he was a star in the making.
Fair play mate, I hope you're right. I think it's a mismatch.

The Naz of the Kelley fight showed some fortitude.

I don't know about fortitude but Naz never fancied a "battle" from Kevin Kelley onwards.

Woodhall talking shite about Froch's chin like he can't be hurt, ignoring that Taylor, Kessler and Robin Reid hurt him.

I agree 100% mate. Undercard is sh1te, but I paid for the main event. I'd rather I didn't have to, but I think it's worth it.
Keith I remember the early days of PPV and they were special nights. Stacked cards from UK then over to the States for another stacked card. Those days were like 8 Froch v Kessler fights on one night! Not this crap. My God, even Don King would put this card on for free its that shite.
Which PPV cards are you talking about? Don't think I knew about these cards that had 8 World title unifications on them between 2 of the top 3 fighters in the division.

Or are you just exaggerating...[/quote]

Ok Slight exaggeration. On 29/11/96 we were treated to 7 world title fights that night including 3 heavyweight title fights! We were treated with Tyson v Holyfield, Moorer v Botha, Akinwande v Zolkin, Ricardo Lopez v Ndumo, Benn v Collins, Hamed v Molina, Winky Wright v Bingham plus Herbie Hide, Scott Welch, Carl Thompson, Michael Brodie and Danny Williams on the undercards. Now tell me tonights shite matches that!

Good luck. Hope it comes in for ya.


On a separate point does anyone know if Khalid Yafai is fighting later or if he fought earlier? Or if his fight and Scott Cardles fight got canned very late on?

Adam Booth just said on 5live that Groves "stood Froch on his head" in Froch's final spar before the 1st Kessler fight

We've seen the best of Froch, hoping for a Groves win to freshen things up.

They don't at all. I was just making a point you were exaggerating. And I'd suggest that is better than every PPV we have ever had including the ones before the Eddie Hearn era.
