Wednesday nights behind the ropes Froch - Groves

[AdamGB]

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

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

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

I was trying to support Ross post and accidently responded to your post. Junior is learning his trade in the gyms against the best fighters.

That maybe Froch wasn't any worse than usual in sparring but that Eubank is genuine quality and will push anyone. Even the toughest unified world champions in higher weights

My whole point WAS that Froch probably wasn't having terrible spars and that people saying that he was based on 30 seconds of footage with Eubank jr. were jumping to conclusions!

Cant see the sense in releasing footage that isnt flattering Carl. I think the reason they showed it was to show how hard he is working in training.

They probably were ignorant to the fact it showed him being pushed hard by a middle weight who some people think cant crack an egg and would get beaten by Billy Joe Saunders

Eubank Jr can fight like that with Carl because he has a chin.

There would possibly be sense in luring Groves into a false sense of security, only froch and his people know of that was the intention or not.
