Technically he's correct and if it was my career I'd be saying the same... he has fought for 14 "world titles" 11 fights, including Groves.Quote:

No, even if you count all the titles involved it would still only be his 13th:vd:Quote:

Counting all the titles would be like Mike Tyson saying his first title reign was 29 title fights;D
Yeh, you're right, it's probably a bit silly.. does the 13 include the WBA "Super" belt? May make it 14. I prefer the days when it was simpler .. I take your point about Tyson.Quote:

Just watched the first of the daily build up shows that are on every night at 7pm on SS1.
Wish Sky would use Woodhall more , top fella and v good pundit/commentator ;-)
Johnny's job is to sell the PPV, so starts bullshitting about Groves having Froch in trouble when sparring, Woodhall was there and is having none of it. ;D

I saw Froch sparring Barker a bit today on that program on sky about Froch. Froch was in command and landed some good punches he is looking sharp as well. Froch is up for this and I don't give a shit if Groves seems to think he had the upper hand in ringside. He's giving himself false hope because it won't matter as soon as Froch is in the ring. I watched Groves-Anderson again today, Anderson had Groves down in that fight and applied pressure. He took that fight on two weeks notice and showed us where Groves is weak. Imagine Froch on the front foot with his speed and power? It doesn't look good at all for Groves.
I think Groves is in over his head, but I'd love to see him give a good account of himself. He needs to box smart & stay out of harms way, make the fight boring, jab, clinch, throw the right to keep Froch honest, but I feel he needs to box a perfect fight to win here
The sparring was just brief edited highlights but I wouldn't give Barker a chance of lasting two rounds, if they really did fight, after seeing that.
World Boxing News - Froch v Groves: Martin Murray out, Andy Lee in
Martin Murray is out and Andy lee makes his England debut.
its not happening for murray is it
pity i was looking forward to seeing him
This undercard is pathetic. However, I see Hearn is reporting the PPV is a cert to beat Froch-Kessler which apparently did around 250,000 buys.
Amazing what these casual fans will buy. A probable mismatch is more appealing than a virtual gauranteed 50-50 war. Mad.
Hearn is talking crap, no way will people think this is bigger than Kessler.Quote:
