What do people think of the Froch vs Groves undercard?

We got Anthony Joshua there who it'll be good to see, but obviously is in the development part of his career. The fight with Legg will end with a predictable stoppage in the first couple of rounds.
Kevin Mitchell is fighting Ghislain Maduma. Has it really been four years since Mitchell fought Michael Katsidis? It doesn't seem like that long. Hopefully Mitchell can do better than the last time he fought at a football ground.
You got James DeGale there. Much though I dislike him, Brandon Gonzales is a step up from anybody he fought on Channel 5. Chunky can't go into his shell mid-fight like he has been doing recently.
Am I forgetting anyone?
It might actually be a half decent undercard. What does anybody else think?

I think on the whole it's a decent undercard aswell. A lot of interesting fights where you cant pick a certain winner which is what i like as a boxin fan.

The undercard could do with one more 50/50 fight in my opinion given the nature of this event (the biggest ever in Britain). Not sure who but I guess I awlays want more for my dough.....

There are currently 9 cans left from the last box of lagers I purchased. As I'm out a lot of this weekend, I'm going to try and leave that spare for fight night. Then have none of them left in the morning.
I'm planning on finding a pub the next day for the England vs Barbarians game and some kind of Sunday Roast/hangover cure food served.

Will you really have a hangover after 9 cans? What is it? Special Brew?

Well, by lager, I meant vodka. And by cans, I meant bottles.

A can these days is basically a pint - I would imaging most people would be quite hungover after 9 pints! I certainly wouldn't fancy a day in the office after that...

It's taken me 4 years to get that gay pink poster out of my mind :(

I think they are 440 mils, so not quite a pint.
I shouldn't be too bad. I'll be eating something during that time. Not quite decided on whether to order a takeaway, or go for something home done and then filling up on snacks during the night. Either way, there'll be something in there soaking it up. And I'll probably allocate a can or two to each fight, so it'll be spread out.
Hopefully it'll be more of a tired and dehydrating sort of a hangover.

It certainly would in this weather. All it's done is rain.

The undercard is pretty lame.
I'll probably try and time it to get to the arena for [just] before the main event.

Degale an Mitchell bouts are decent, Joshua and McDonnell are both going to walk through their opponents

Joshuas opponent has disappointed me but the rest I'm looking forward to. Let's be honest though, there's only one fight everyone is paying to see.

DeGale / Gonzales is a very good fight. I think it is a very tough fight for DeGale. The rest of the undercard is good.

Gonzales is getting some props for pushing the tall Saffer guy whose name I can't spell.
Then again, who is the best name on either of their records? Boone or Zuninga?
The guy that Mitchell is facing has a similarly impressive looking unbeaten record but again, who has he beaten?

I was thinking McDonnell, but whatever floats your boat.

The undercard isn't very interesting.
