The Official Froch v Groves bill RBR thread

[SNG]

Thought it was him, I wish he'd fight as aggressive as he has in the past. They way he took apart people like Corrales and Gatti was spectacular.

Dan Rafael posted on twitter that Matchroom and Top Rank spoke a few days ago about JCCJr in Vegas.

Had Froch 4-3 up but wot a ko, Froch is genuine world class, don't let your hatred cloud your judgement, Groves missed his chance last time.

[crusader]

Are there many people who question whether Froch is world class?

[manchester-mexican]

would hope not

[Kilburn]

I'm seeing a lot of talk about "that punch" from Froch. He was in control and never looked in real danger of losing to me.

I think we all saw what was supposed to happen in the first fight.

Good point. The only difference in the first fight was the first round perfect right hand by Groves, and it still was not enough.

In control? Really?

Yes, really. Like I said in another post, sometimes the chess match is often over before the bystanders realize it is. Froch executed his plan to perfection. It played out the same way the first fight would have if not for the one punch.

[SNG]

If you think Froch was in complete control of that fight you simply don't know what you're watching.

Groves was starting to take control of the fight at the time of the stoppage and had outlanded Froch in the fight. How on earth was Froch 'in control'?

Froch had him right where he wanted him, and checkmated his ass cleanly. End of.

Oh right.

[manchester-mexican]

tbh I also thought Froch looked comfortable, but agree Groves started to come into it in rounds 6,7,8 until he got ko'd but Froch proved what champion he is.

Who won cleanly, with barely a mark on him? That's right, the pride of Nottingham. King Carl.

Keep trying to underplay what just happened. When you wake up with a hangover tomorrow, Carl Froch will still be King of England.

[SNG]

Er.....aye, okay

I'm not really sure why you think I'm trying to underplay what happened, I just don't forget the previous seven rounds of tight, tetchy boxing because one fighter wins on one punch. To think Froch was in control is just bizarre, even he knew he wasn't in the post fight interview, but yeah, you're right.

[crusader]

Tanzio is just playing his usual shtick, don't take him seriously. His suggestions that he can see into the future, knows the bout had a set outcome rounds before it ended, and knows what Froch was thinking throughout the fight give a good laugh.

[Ian1973]

No offence mate but you are coming across as someone that is:

a) gay and attracted to Froch
b) a bit simple
c) pissed out of your head

If none of the above I apologise but your King Carl repetitions are bit much.

[crusader]

Really? I bet Tanzio thinks they are the wittiest things to grace this forum.

Yeah possibly, especially if option c is applicable.

Nobody was 'in control' but Froch didn't look uncomfortable. I had him winning at the point of KO.

[Grilling Machine]

Mate, he lost to Chas Dingle.

[DMA1987]

Mate, he lost to Chas Dingle.

I don't get it. Sorry, it might be the Carling.

[Ian1973]

Mate, he lost to Chas Dingle.

I don't get it.

I was wondering if it was just me.

[Tanzio]

Yes, I have had more than a few, but yes I am very happy for Froch, and I don't mind annoying a bunch of his haters. Carl said what he was going to do and he did exactly that.

This weekend Carl Froch is the King of England, and he earned it with an excellent performance, silencing the doubters. Carl Froch rules the sport of boxing in England at the moment, and he deserves every bit of it. He turned back the clock one more time.

Froch obviously kicked more than Groves' ass tonight, like half the fat drunken population of the nation i suppose.

You're not wrong about Corley, he did buzz Floyd. One of Mayweather's more aggressive performances.

To Floyd's credit, he just got pissed off and started attacking Corley right back. When Corley complained to the ref Mayweather was saying "Stop crying and fight"

That's definitely up there as one of Floyd's more entertaining fights.
