Looks relaxed and sharp (I am fully aware that padwork tells a very different story to a fight) and I for one think that if he can hold this composure into the fight he has the skills to shock a few people and provided he can take Carls power when needed and not get drawn into a Fight by using his boxing skills.

Also any guesses at who the sparring partner is in the video ? ...........

WTF IS HE DOING SPARRING A WEEK OUT!!! I'D NEVER LET ONE OF MY FIGHTERS DO THIS!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Haha yeh the gingerbread man or whatever it was he was 'sparring' looked like hard work

I saw Nelson saying "I'd be very surprised if froch won one of the first 6 rounds"

Why - risk of injury ?

If so, then if you stop sparring a week earlier then they could still get injured.

I have read that Chris Eubank always sparred hard, and always sparred hard up to and including the day before a fight (not saying that this would work for everybody).

Run , run, as fast as you ca, you can't catch me I'm the gingerhead man!!

George is deffo going to do the gingerbread man tactics!!

I should have known that "sparring" comment would have caused a stir

Always makes me laugh when people react to what the read without checking the details first!

Has anyone watched the video ?? what are your thoughts in as far as the video shows

That you should never wear a trilby or any dressy hat with a tracksuit!!
Makes you look like a try hard IMO

He can wear what he wants, I can't think he'd give a toss what anyone thought else he'd dress like everyone else.

Groves was just relaxing. You can see he was just playing, whereas Froch was all intense.

Groves by KO!

Im thinking of a little flutter on that too

Says the man with a bright yellow brushed suede flasher-mac.

I was there earlier, groves just going through motions really with some pad work and then Adam smith n jonny nelson got in the ring and asked the same questions they have for last few weeks, essentially different variations of 'why do you think you can beat froch?'

Wasn't a huge amount of people there, not sure groves has really found a fanbase yet, I like the guy but I've noticed a few casuals seem to be a bit put off by his antics in the build up, also in the crowd were saying he had no chance.

I saw that. I was baffled, potentially the greatest or most stupid thing he has said. I guess we will find out, but im not sure I would hang my hat on groves winning first 6 rounds!! Very bold indeed
