SKY Box Ofice - FROCH V GROVES 2 - Unfinished Business -Saturday Night Chat Thread

So far its Frochs consistent aggression and ring control vs groves cleaner but less consistent punching.

Groves is very fidgety and like his corner and Max have referenced, that nervous energy catches up to you late. Froch just seems to be sleepwalking though, woke up a little bit late last round but he's not going to win standing back like this. Froch has really long ams but Groves' are longer and he's shorter with his punches too. Good action here for Froch now, you have to move forward if you're Froch.

Groves looks not so fresh. So heavy of foot and not moving as much, Froch killing the body there

Groves needs to deck Froch when he's adjusting his shorts.

HBO audio engineer failing us here, can't hear the punches, can barely hear the crowd and Lampley is LOOOUUD.

Best round 5, Froch landed body shots and probably won that round.

Pretty even rd point wise 2-2-1

Its the one failsafe agreed to in his contact...I AM LAMPLEY, AND I WILL BE LOUDEST.

Honestly, the audio issues are MADDENING for me right now, considering watching a shitty stream from the UK over this.

3-2-1 Froch

Watt is reading it wrong, even Khan has Groves winning. 4-2

At least when he is actually ringside, you get some of the natural sound too though, I have not heard a punch land this whole fight. He's in a little Las Vegas screening room yellng about the crowd screaming when he's not there and I can barely hear them.

Anyways, time for Groves to land something of consequence now. The adjustments have come and Froch is walking him down and starting to win rounds. He's got to plant himself on the backfoot and start offering some deterrents. He has a really nice tight left hook, he's not going to be able to circle out of these Froch charges.

Malignaggi is on the UK broadcast which is a 100% improvement over the norm. Where the body work from Groves?

This fight had me hyped coming in. Disappointing so far

good sixth for grooves
