Groves & Booth split?

[Finch]

Im surprised that people have bought into this bollocks about George and Adam splitting. I can put money on the following scenario/s playing out. Booth wont be around for Groves camp, atleast in front of the camera's but will magically turn up on fight night or he wont be around at all for the fight but they'll have a reconcilliation after the fight and it will come out that Booth was behind the tactics for the fight and so on.

They won't risk him not being in the corner on fight night but will probably try and strong it out at long as they can.

The quote from Booth was simply "true" when asked about the split. You can just picture him saying it with a smirk on his face.

It's definietly a ploy to make Froch think he has an edge and going on the press conference he seems to be buying into it.

Haven't seen the Presser but can just imagine Froch buying it as he is far too serious and he gullible. When he finds out he's been mugged off he'll continue to drone on about what tits they are to try and save face.

Yeah no way has Groves left the cult: Guru booth has just instructed him to say this - the opening shot in the psychological warfare to come
Daft really, as It's not going to matter much when Froch hits him on the chin.

that said, I'd love to see Grove win this.....

This is hilarious because Froch is believing it. Groves isn't in full training camp with Booth because Booth is fine tuning Haye for Fury. Then when Haye / Fury is over Groves gets 100% of Booth's time.

The thing that would be more interesting is if Haye told Froch this as they're both fairly decent mates by all accounts and used to room together when they boxed for england right? I cant imagine if that was the case that Froch would be very happy with someone he considers a good mate telling him a load of lies to trick him.

[Tom Ford]

I could only think that maybe booth takes too much of a chunk as manager & trainer??
Big gamble this is & maybe groves feels he's been thrown in & wants maximum dollar & rightly so it doesn't reek of confidence you'd expect from a upstart like groves

Maybe Groves is now self managed. Booth makes enough with Haye.
Maybe its Booth just letting Groves make some more for himself.

[ThereByTheGrace]

They need to sell the mismatch to all of us. Froch will stop Groves, they are just too far apart in levels at the moment.

I notice the odds have shortened on froch after today

[Finch]

This is all over sky sports news.

Adam Smith believes it is true!

[MightyWarrior]

Adam Smith is a cock.

[punchers chance]

the split story is another load of bull

Nice way to rig the odds....

Anyone else think Froch can sometimes come across like a bitchy teenage girl?

Sometimes?

The amount I like watching him fight is at the other spectrum completely to me liking listening to him.

[DMA1987]

Honestly I do find Groves a bit disrespectful. Its his right to do what he wants, but if I was Froch I would probably be thinking 'who the fornicate are you' as well.

They're both pretty arrogant to be honest. Froch has more of a right to be though based on who he's fought though.

Exactly though. Froch has earned that right. He has things to be arrogant about.

Froch doesn’t come across as arrogant to me. Seems more like a guy not that comfortable on screen when he’s not throwing punches. So he says what he thinks he’s supposed to say….growls a bit… He comes across as a bloke who is not the best communicator…which is essentially 98% of men anyway…

[Ezzard]

I'm struggling with it, I got the info and sent it on, but expect to see a reversal at some point, which is bad for me, I'll get called loads of names online, yet it will be good overall as they're a nice little team. Adam's a top man in the sport, he's always been great to me on a personal level and when Froch-Groves was announced I had a sneaky feeling for Groves on points, now I'm not so sure. Maybe he's hooking up with Tony Sims, who knows.

Booth comes across as a serious man, who knows what he's doing. I hope he's sticking around in the game and not retiring when Haye is finally put out to stud.

Amazing how few of us actually believe that they have split.

Groves doesn't seem like the sort to walk away from a good thing.

[whiskey]

There is genuine beef there I can tell you.

Mouth. Soap. Wash mouth out with.

x2
amazing to me you can bad mouth a real fighter who has taken on the who's who of the division no ducking just tough tests.
SOm eof you really need to look at yourselves as boxing fans.

who cares what he says out to the ring he backs it up in bucketloads inside.

[stevieb_8006]

if you bright sparks have figured out it could be a ploy, im pretty sure McCracken and froch have.

Not sure what you're trying to say here?

[johnswan1]

Did anyone see when sky put the subtitles up a few hours after it was on live ?

Basically froch was saying, "you know your not ready for me yet" and then said "you look worried" but he was whispering it and groves for a second swallowed and smiled it off

George did look quite nervous to me actually. He was going very red in the face I thought.

I always felt Groves looked nervous and uncomfortable in the build up to the DeGale fight, but look what happened there. Still, Froch by KO.

[lefty]

Watch the presser mate. Froch seemed to be buying it hook, line and sinker, saying to Groves "where's your trainer?".

[lefty]

I hope Carl isnt buying this bollocks though mate.
