The Gloves Are Off - Froch/Haye/Khan/Ogogo - Sky Sports?

[Dia bando]

Anyone see this? I thought it was a bit shit to be honest. Johnny Nelson, who I really like, is rubbish doing interviews. He spent 5 minutes asking a question and before someone got two sentences into the answer Froch, who was beyond annoying the whole show, would talk over them and change the subject.

However, I started the thread just to relate Johnny's story about being stuck in East Germany with no money or food, spotting some apple and pear trees from his window, and climbing out the building to nick the fruit. Brilliant. Johnny's little stories about his career were more interesting than the other four put together.

Thoughts?

I find Froch annoying always have done, yes he can fight a bit but the best was Calzaghe regardless
what people think, I await peoples response.

They put Johnny's story at the end because it was clearly the best bit. ()

I don't care about fighters out of the ring personalities, Froch doesn't bother me in the slightest, and I respect him massively as a fighter (he certainly proved me wrong numerous times), but in this format he was bloody jarring. It needed a proper interviewer (and obviously these were the edited bits)

I watched it on youtube today, not as good as I was expecting. Even though it was banter, Froch seemed happy to get in a dig at most of the others when he had a chance. I'm still a fan though. Groves would have been a better addition than Ogogo, no disrespect but he didn't have a lot to add to it maybe after a year as a pro he would havee been better.

The thing is with Nelson I feel he finds it hard to ask challenging questions to other fighters when he had plenty of times in his own career where he didn't perform too well.

Was something different and they have obviously taken the idea from these head to head things that the US shows do, can definitely be improved. Not really interested in what colour tiles Froch uses to decorate his house would rather see each fighter asked questions to make them squirm but in the same relaxed format.

"Froch you obviously struggle with slick boxer types as opposed to guys who want to mix it up, it will take more than having a granite chin and good work rate to topple Ward so how do you think you can adapt your style should you meet again?"

Not a great example but you get the jist.

That was good. Froch hates Khan and visa versa. Anthony looked in awe.

For those who missed it





It is what it is.

We must remember, nobody on Earth loves everyone Boxer's in general have big ego's five people
round the table shooting the shit. All boxers I don't think much love lost, between Froch and Khan ! false
smiles indeed. This moment in time a fighter I have a lot of time for, is Ricky Burns done it the hard way
an opponent that became, a Champ, no hype, no bullshit , and no bragging.
Ricky should have been sitting at the table, not the subway kid Ogogo what the hell he was doing there!.

i like ricky a lot, he is a really nice genuine fella and deserves everything he has got

if he was sat at the table it would have been just as dull

i think im a reasonably entertaining fella when out with my mates

sat at a table talking about my life infront of a camera would be very boring too

I haven't got time to watch the vid, but why do Froch and Khan hate each other?

[BoxerJordan]

Froch got interviewed n said something to him but not a bad thing but the press mixed froches words up to make it out like he trash talkd amir

[Saddo]

just watched it now... I liked it, they all came across quite well.

Johnny Nelson has always been a funny guy I mean come on he called himself "the entertainer"

anyhooooo loved it.. it was nice to see boxers sat around and talking and not promoting a fight but talking and showing a human side... more please sky as i found it very cool

If I agreed with you any more we'd be making love.

[erics44]

i watched it and thought it was poo too

in fact i only got half way through and had to switch off, it was a bit of a cringe

thing is these are boxers and are they really ever gonna be that entertaining put infront of a camera for an hour?

get 4 commedians or something it might be alright

Stop this at once or I shall set Miles on thee.

First time I thought it was Eubank Junior instead of Ogogo. It was good fun and banter. Khan and Froch are not the brightest of people in the world. Haye is semi retired.

They should do another one but with different fighters like Eubanks Jnr, Groves, Degale, or Burns and Mitchell or Fury and Price.
