Froch v Groves RBR

[Tanzio]

Surprised this hasn't been started yet. I thought the Donaire victory was completely ugly. Glad he offered Vetyeka a rematch.

[Tanzio]

Wish I was ringside for this one. It would be pretty surreal.

[Tanzio]

Groves coming in on a double decker bus. Wish these dudes would shaddap and let the entrance speak for itself. Finally.

[sucracristo]

the last one was a really bad stoppage, but when the cards had froch within a few
rounds I was even more surprised. groves is going to have to take froch's head off
to come away with the win. I hope he does

[Tanzio]

No wonder he rode in a a bus. About a half mile walk to the ring. Place is just massive. Stadium seats look to be a quarter mile away.

[sucracristo]

just found another round by round thread in the british section.
I was looking for one for a while and it just occurred to me to look there

[Tanzio]

Froch coming in no nonsense to Queen.

Yeah I will probably move over there. British super fight afterall.

[sucracristo]

Froch coming in no nonsense to Queen.

that's acdc

[Tanzio]

Froch coming in no nonsense to Queen.

. . . and AC/DC.

[Baby Face Finster]

The atmosphere is insane.

[Tanzio]

Froch coming in no nonsense to Queen.

It was Queen, We Will Rock You to begin with. That's how long the fvcking ring walk is.

[Tanzio]

Best atmosphere in short term memory.

[sucracristo]

did they say an American ref? maybe we won't get the hair trigger stoppage this time?

[Tanzio]

Time to rock.

[Tanzio]

Froch very cautious. Flinching. Groves jab gets in. Solid jabs by Groves. Froch more flicking. Froch looking for the right but not finding it.

10-9 Groves

[sucracristo]

groves was busier and landed a few but neither landed much.
froch stalking
10-9 groves

[Tanzio]

Froch fighting Goves fight so far. Froch landing jabs now. Rabbit punching contest. Chess match so far. Both land rights. Very close round in my book. Very close.

19-19

[sucracristo]

straight right over froch's jab and the left hook inside were the two best
shots of the round, both for groves. lots of posing otherwise.
20-18 groves

[Finch]

How the hell did sky give Froch round one? He didn't land with a single punch and groves landed with several jabs.

[Tanzio]

Froch cannot win a chess match IMO. Could easil Both land big in three. Heating up now. Still pretty even. Froch landing jab big right by Groves. Very close again.

29-28 Groves

[sucracristo]

the feed I'm watching with jim watt calling the fight is insane.
watt has dementia. groves is landing every meaningful shot
and getting the best of every exchange and watt is ONLY talking
about how great froch is. I'm in the twilight zone.
30-27 groves

[G.McClellan]

Groves is up by two rounds in my book. Froch looked very hesitant to start. Loosening up now, but needs to make his presence felt.

[Finch]

30-27 groves

That's the most confusing thing!

Groves landed with some right hands

[sucracristo]

watt again talks exclusively about froch and froch isn't landing anything.
groves is landing ALL the clean shots.
40-36 groves
