Froch - Groves to meet on Sky Ringside special

[Beanz]

Groves is in a win/win situation here. The kid deserves major props for taking such a big step up at this stage in his career. Such challenges are rare these days to say the least. If he loses it wont hurt his future at all. He gets a nice payday and the loss will be credited to lack of experience. And lets face it he's expected to lose. Froch is the guy with all the pressure here and by the sounds of things he's unraveling a bit. That bodes well for Groves

I still think Adam Booth is gonna pop up around the weigh in and be in Groves corner.
I also think Froch is so wound up he's gonna lose focus and look for an early ko and lose this on points.

Agree with the 'Booth' part, but can't see George winning!

I think he can outbox Froch but if he stands toe to toe Froch wins by KO.
This might just come down to who can keep their head. ;-)

People close to the Booth camp and the boxing media keep denying the split is a stunt.

The best thing about that show was seeing Herbie Hide attack Danny Williams at a press conference even though he wasn't fighting him. That's how proper mentals react to a bit of trash talk.

"Are you gonna cry Froch" was as cringeworthy as Carl's facial expressions.

[Dean Duke]

Froch got owned but talk is cheap.

Shameful trying to steal someone elses thoughts @Greenbeanz. I bet you thought you and @IamInuit were 2 beans in a pod.




I'll get my coat.

Certainly was genuine tension there, its cool that this has split opinion right down the middle too.
I've been following Froch since way way back and remember getting stick on here when only myself and Tam Seddon used to bang on about him being a future World Champ.
I have untold respect for Carl and love his fights and his fearless attitude but I get this feeling that Groves has wound him up to a point where he's gonna be wreckless and play right into Groves hands.
I can also see Groves foolishly having a tear up and getting sparked cold.
Its a pick em for me this one.

Yup.. good analysis.. I'm gonna pick Carl 'cos my brain says he's different class and a true old school warrior. I'm worried for him in this fight tho' ..

Anyone got the ringside video from start to finish?
My sky dish went down in the heavy winds lately so I wasn't able to
Watch it
