Guest MattP Posted 27 May 2014 Posted 27 May 2014 I believe ringwalk is scheduled for 10pm. I really did enjoy too, I didn't have to much of a problem with Johnny Nelson, as for Max Kellerman if it's the bloke i'm thinking off I don't really get him, he seems quite slow when doing his interview and never really sure what to say. I agree with you Froch won't be that bad again and while Groves was brilliant last time, really impressed me and I really underestimated him but I think Groves will have to be better than that. I was in the Froch camp last time and although Groves impressed me alot last time (I would have been one of the people giving him shit going into the ring but applauding him out and saying well done) I'm still in the Froch camp this time, I like Froch and I don't give a fuck if he's a Forest fan (Actually didn't wanna bring this up, but it will be the reason most will want Groves to win on here) As for trash talking in The Gloves Are Off programme I honestly didn't believe there was any. My prediction is Froch in the 7th. I'll go Froch 8th. Certainly going to be backing Froch 6-9. Kellerman is marmite, I love him personally and he's great at these. Most Boxing crowds are superb, at small hall shows they give a great ovation to both fighters, it's only the big events that attracts the mob of booing football fans, its a small price to pay for the bank balance they get from it though. We should all be very proud, two fantastic British boxers, one who has had a World Class career and another who will have one.
AKCJ Posted 27 May 2014 Posted 27 May 2014 Is this on tonight? Haven't kept up with the pre-fight shite but i'll probably nip out if it's on.
foxfanazer Posted 27 May 2014 Posted 27 May 2014 Even though he acts a bit of a dick, I find myself liking Groves. Yes there's a lot of hot air there but he's very confident and he has every right to be. Can't wait for this fight now

Soar Fox Posted 27 May 2014 Posted 27 May 2014 Had Froch to win last time in rounds 7,8 or 9. Having the same bet again @5/1, also having Froch to score the first knockdown @11/10
Beliall Posted 28 May 2014 Posted 28 May 2014 Wtf were they doing in the press conference? Froch chatting to hid mate while groves spoke, like a kid in the back row of a classroom, then groves did a bleeding rubix cube. The whole thing is interesting me though, im tempted to watch it.
C-man Posted 28 May 2014 Posted 28 May 2014 Saw the clip of Froch pushing Groves at the event at Wembley the other week and what happened after Blimey what a pair of absolute babies. I know it's all for show and but whilst its patrons act like that I just can't take the sport seriously as it deserves to be. I'll still be watching on Saturday, mind.
Captain... Posted 28 May 2014 Posted 28 May 2014 Wtf were they doing in the press conference? Froch chatting to hid mate while groves spoke, like a kid in the back row of a classroom, then groves did a bleeding rubix cube. The whole thing is interesting me though, im tempted to watch it. Did he complete it? Maybe he misunderstood when his manager told him to play mind games at the press conference.
FoxesAreBlue Posted 28 May 2014 Posted 28 May 2014 There is a pattern to rubies cubes so if you know it you can do them - guy I used to know did them blindfolded. Can't remember the "protocol" (wrong word, can't think) but I do know that the centre square on each face is the couloir that that face needs to be... Or something like that
Nick Posted 28 May 2014 Posted 28 May 2014 This could so easily go either way. Head and heart says Froch by KO 8/9/10 but I really wouldn't like to be betting big on this. I think people may be underestimating Groves who technically, is arguably the more gifted fighter but Froch's brawn, grit and staying power one would think may win the war.
Guest MattP Posted 29 May 2014 Posted 29 May 2014 I love what Eddie has done with this card.Instead of shoving loads of prospects on he's just made it a 5 fight card with his top prospect then 4 quality fights afterwards and all close fights on paper. Watch out for Ghislain Maduba, outisder against Kevin Mitchell but been hearing a few stories from some promoters about how good this bloke looks, potential World class. Here's my write up for the main event if anyone wants a read. (shameless self promotion) http://boxingbets.info/carl-froch-v-george-groves-betting-preview-2
Grandad. Posted 29 May 2014 Posted 29 May 2014 I know Groves successfully predicted in the last fight that he was going to knock Froch down inside the first three rounds with a right in the last fight, but to say he is going to win the fight with a left hook inside the first three is extreme! Worst thing he can do is getting in a punch off early doors with Froch!
Dr The Singh Posted 29 May 2014 Posted 29 May 2014 Groves to win on points!! He will fight a cage fight and outjab Froch!!
Guest Mee-9 Posted 29 May 2014 Posted 29 May 2014 Fancy Groves in the 6th. Was quite impressed with him last time out.
BoneDog Posted 29 May 2014 Posted 29 May 2014 Just booked this. I'll be supporting Groves but it's not one of those where I'm too fussed who wins at the moment. Just hoping for an outstanding bout.
Nick Posted 30 May 2014 Posted 30 May 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/boxing/27629565 Groves - great boxer, talking out loud however, requires attention. Froch on the other hand: "The judges might as well not bring their pens, they're not going to need them."
Tincy Posted 30 May 2014 Posted 30 May 2014 Around 10pm I think mate. Cheers mate, really looking forward to this! Groves for me in the 4th
Grandad. Posted 30 May 2014 Posted 30 May 2014 "His best ever performance couldn't beat my worst ever performance.. That's a fact."
leicesterlad1989 Posted 30 May 2014 Posted 30 May 2014 Always been a Groves fan and have been fortunate to see him live a few times, so naturally I'd love him to win this fight. When it comes down to two British fighters fighting each other, there is always a reason why you prefer one to the other. So I don't buy into this "it stupid you don't support Froch cause hes a Forest fan!" Lets face it, majority of us would have wanted Rendall to win over most other British fighters. Can't take anything away from Froch, he has had a remarkable last 6 years and seemingly never backs out of a fight. Technically he's not as good as Groves and if his sparring with Eubanks Jr is anything to go by I can see Groves troubling him from the start. He tends to be very flat footed but has the heart of a lion and a chin made of granite, I just think he's ready to break at this stage of his career. As for Groves, I've followed him from quite early in his career and always been impressed. Things weren't always easy, e.g. Kenny Anderson fight. (Worth a watch if you haven't seen it). I was frustrated before last fight due to everyone underestimating him but his performance showed what he is capable of. No matter what, the last fight was stopped too early but thankfully this fight can put the wrongs right. Who do I think will win? Groves. Who do I want to win? Groves? However, if Froch wins this then it will definitely be a career defining fight as he has suggested. I just hope for the future of British boxing Groves wins and dominates cause the lad has talent to go far.
