Wednesday nights behind the ropes Froch - Groves

[ono]

Also think Sky are clever with the editing. They probably want to tip the balance slightly into Groves favour as more people will probably buy the ppv if it looks like he could pull off the upset, albeit a slight one

That's a good point, but I reckon both fighters would have a bit of a say about the editing of it. After all, we can all get a bit paranoid about how we come over, especially if it's on the telly.

To be honest, the sparring seemed fairly even to me. Eubank Jr has a style that would give Froch problems anyway. Because of how Froch fights, any quick handed, speedy contender could make him look bad at various points throughout a fight or a sparr. I don't think he will care too much about what Sky have put out there anyway, as he will know full well that Sky are trying to sell the fight, and the better it sells, the more he gets paid.

It is probably for the cameras and you are reading too much into it. Froch looks in great condition. I think he is deliberately making out that he is not training hard.

I thought he was behind, also the crowd were booing at times.

I had him up a round, they were all pretty nip tuck.

It took Groves too long to figure Froch's awkward jab out, Froch controlled the distance really with it and scored woth a lot more commitment. Can't say he was outboxing Groves but his timing and range were much sharper tonight. You would never have expected it if you get excited over sparring footage

Groves trying to cover it up.

He made no mistakes, fact is froch was and is a boss.

Now where's all those little groves fans gone? Are they hiding? Are they taking inches up their bottoms.

Yes Adam your spot on, not as exciting as the first fight but it was a good fight, I did fancy Groves
to win but not that much as to put a bet on it.

Eubank Jr also gave Groves a hard time in sparring. Put him down etc.

I think Eubanks gave Groves the black eye before his fight with DeGale.

He looks a talent, outside of that I don't see your point?

I agree , I'm probably biased because I tipped Groves, but I had it 4-3 to Groves and Groves was winning the 8th, but that doesn't count for anything now. Groves will be mad with himself for getting caught so open, but that's the harsh reality of boxing and to be fair his interview showed he's aware of that
