SKY Box Ofice - FROCH V GROVES 2 - Unfinished Business -Saturday Night Chat Thread

[Beanflicker]

I'm surprised Jim could even speak with Froch's cock jammed so far down his throat. And there were times when he was arguing or trying to contradict something Paulie, the fucking pro boxing champion, was saying. Ugh. Give me Lampley or even Mauro over that idiot any day.

Does anyone know how much each fighter made for this fight?

Does anyone know how much each fighter made for this fight?

Looking for a loan or something?

[Dia bando]

Does anyone know how much each fighter made for this fight?

Froch got 8m AND Groves 2m, so not a bad pay day for both.

[Primo Carnera]

For what its worth I had Groves 5-2 up and at the time of the KO. I Have no idea what Jim Watt was watching.

Exactly how I had it, watt is going senile. Khan had Groves ahead too.

I had Groves 4-3 up and winning the 8th. Does anybody know yet what the judges scorecards were at the finish?

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I'd gave groves round 2, 6 and 7 and was giving him the 8th.

Really notable win for Froch as he boxed better and ended the fight earlier than before.

[Spicoli]

On Sunday morning rewatch was actually a very level headed smart plan by Froch. Announce team made it sound he was being absolutely clowned most of it.

[ruthless rocco]

Groves signed with Sauerland before the fight...as if he knew he's need the Davis Price rehab plan! Hahaha!


Also, I love the oxygen!!!!

That is pretty tasteless and shows very little class. People are being extremely quick to dismiss a young fighter who even the Champion admitted was not just competitive but nip and tuck with him for many of the rounds. Froch was booed at the end of the first fight for not giving the underdog a bit of credit but the gloating from some here is no better considering we are all supposed to be boxing fans. Losing does not make you shit particularly from a knockout which can strike anyone at any moment. There is no taking away from what Carl has achieved and that in the end is what the night ended up being all about. Where is the credit in stopping an overhyped mediocre opponent ?

Tasteless? Very little class? My post is pure comedy and it's fucking hilarious!

My mate said that 2 had Froch by 1 and one had Groves by 1. Not the worst cards but think judges need to cop on and understand fighters can win fights on the back foot.

"Ugh? Paulie the fucking pro boxing champion.."

Watt was lightweight champion of the world after Duran and went 15 rounds with Alexis Arguello and Ken Buchanan, two fighters that you proably don't rate because they came from an era when according to you most opponents were bums. Paulie got the krap beaten out of him by Hatton (whilst having his hair cut) and Khan, and was one year old when Watt retired. I like Paulie but fucking Lampley and Mauro are terrible and it is quite laughable that however bad you think Watt's commentating is (and you are certainly not alone on that) that you are so outraged that the Host channel/Countries commentator should contradict the guest.

Come on beanz Jim Watt is a shocking commentator. Apart from his clear inability to score a fight, its like he doesnt watch boxing apart from when hes commentating meaning he knows fuck all about the guy the matchroom boxer is fighting. I cannot stand listening to him on sky. They need some young blood. Paul Smith would be decent I think.

[AdamGB]

I was rewatching the Bute Fight, 1 minute in the fighters are broken by the ref and both told off... Froch was clearing holding Bute and throws a few shots whilst doing so.

Watt: the referee is trying to stamp his authority early there, I couldn't see ANYTHING illegal.

[Beanflicker]

Arguello was great, Buchanan is overrated/average.

Didn't know he was a boxer... I guess he got in at the right time after Duran left the division. Feasted on bums no doubt.

[Gandalf]

I just managed to watch the fight now and it was alright, but not as action packed as the first one. Groves was much more understated, but still out boxing Froch who was losing prior to the stoppage.

It was a good shot to put Groves down, but it was hardly KO of the the year or anything like that. Groves was once again the victim of a referee, who this time out, decided to not even bother with a count despite Groves jumping to his feet in a couple of seconds. If he had counted to 3 Groves would have been up, and for sure wobbly, but would have continued, taken his 8 count and just maybe seen out the round to recover and catch his breath. He was denied this opportunity in a fight he was again winning.

Fair play to Froch who did what he had to do, but I still think there are question marks as Groves has won far more rounds than Froch in this rivalry. Froch deserves a final big pay day and Groves should come back stronger as he is very skilled.

Wow I thought for sure nobody would possibly protest the stoppage.

I think the fact that Groves spent the next few minutes after the stoppage sitting on a stool until he could get up shows that he was done.

Props to Groves for trying to get up after that shot but the referee would have been banned if he let that go on.
