Then some of the absolute crap about this being made for Wazza via purse bids.
Venue still to be sorted City Ground on the list.
Old Trafford ?
Wembley ?
Stamford Bridge ?
Still hope Carl gets his wish even if the attendance will be less.

This is the internet, what do you expect?

Interestingly, how many 18-50 men on the planet do you think WOULDN'T fight George Groves for the money Froch will get? It surely can't be more than a couple of thousand people at most.

He's always struck me as a train hard, fight hard, fornicate-off home type of guy, and he thinks all the other fluff is a burden he could do without.

Parson Cross wrote:Aden,
I might not be expressing myself well.
What I'm saying is that I expect that some people may now distance themselves from those comments and may even turn into Froch fans.

Milpool - no play offs at Wembley on 31 May 2014.

The bookies have Froch a clear favourite at 4/7. As they should. Best for Groves is 2/1. I expect a lot of money to come in on Groves though after the outcry last time, to distort the odds.

Got to disagree with you MW, I don't think Groves is going to get better at all. He peaked in the first fight in all likelihood. Froch can definitely improve on that though, and not being floored by a huge right hand this time around will help an awful lot.

I have a feeling this fight will be totally different from the first in that Froch won't be bossed early, will have much more success in the first half and will have Groves out of there before 8. I think Groves will know he has to conserve energy so will be overly careful at the start to compensate, and that will play into Froch's hands and give Carl those couple of rounds he needs to get his own rhythm.

They'll know that Groves is only going to get better, with the added vital big fight experience, while Froch is the aging warrior, who's almost certainly on the slide.

You feel the last fight will have taken more out of Carl than Groves.

I wonder how the bookies will have it..50/50 probably, with a slight edge to the champion - though I reckon it's the other way round.

Also interesting, is this is the first time Froch has gone in to a fight knowing the other guy can seriously hurt him.

Froch is old enough to act better. I hope Groves smashes Froch

Seating Capacity of 73,500

Any chance do you think ?

Should be another cracking fight, really looking forward to this one

If Froch counters, he wins. If he leads, he loses.
