This promo is a preview of fight number two between the two super middleweights, due to take place in Wembley Stadium on 31st May.
-
Been looking forward to this one for a while.
-
Cant wait!
-
Going to Wembley on saturday to watch this and my money is on a draw. 3rd fight would equal big bucks and I don't see Groves stopping Froch or vice versa. Thoughts my getbig amigos?
-
it will follow the pattern of the last fight
groves will box his socks off
but froch will come on towards the end of the fight
you can never count froch out he is a warrior
if groves can avoid frock he will out point him

Yeah, Groves has the edge on speed and sharpness but I can't help but feel this fight will be closer. £500 on tickets I just hope it isn't over in the first round! Still got a decent supporting card with Anthony Josua, Kevin Mitchell and James Degale all in action. You gonna be watching Bigmc?
-
Groves has to force a stoppage in the first 5 rounds otherwise Froch will probably win.

Groves is saying he is gonna take Froch out in three rounds and it will be another Hagler-Hearns!

That sounds good. I am going with a friend and we are about 5 rows from the front. Anything closer was either reserved or cost an absolute packet.
-
Who are these people ???
There's a part two?
-
I'm hoping Groves can do it. I used to like Froch but his attitude after the first fight pissed me off a bit. I'm also jealous that he gets to spend every night with Rachael Cordingley. ;D
Groves is an explosive fighter but I think like many such fighters, his stamina is a bit suspect. Froch on the other hand, always finishes strongly.
£500 is pretty steep for this fight. I've never seen Froch live even though I had the chance to see him against Dirrell.
-
Pillow fighters of peace (the rematch)

I could have got in for free as security
one of our guys is doing it
I think its one of those one of life experiences the atmosphere will be nuts
im going to benidorm with my mates next Thursday
so couldn't get this one past my misses
il go and watch the winner vs de gale that will be another good fight
-
For a guaranteed laugh, be sure to refer to him as "Carl CROTCH" at an opportune moment
-
Froch took Groves lightly the first fight. I think Froch will win more convincingly this time.

Degale vs Groves the rematch is on the cards whether Groves wins or loses this one. The first fight was very close. Do you run a security company mate?

yes up in yorkshire

DeGale has really stalled over the past few years. Looked the real deal after his Olympic gold but has fallen of the radar now.
Can see Groves beating him more easily in a rematch.

he is on channel 5
he looks like shit and I mean shit
struggling against nobodies

Been reading on twitter the last couple of days that Froch injured his left elbow while sparring with Eubank jr,thats why its been taped up,and on the behind the ropes shows this week when he has been shown on the bag he hardly throws a left jab.If he does its just a slow flick.

Yeah, I don't even bother tuning into his fights anymore. He's fighting in shopping centres against plumbers. :D
Funnily enough, a few years back, he was considered the future of the SMW division. One of my mates told me back around 2010 that he thought DeGale would be KO'ing Ward in a few years. ;D
-
Well seems Froch just won by knockout. Just in from work getting ready to watch in pub...fml.
-
Froch dusts him with a short hard hook in the 8, reminiscent of the last Marquez / Pacquiao stopping a mid fight rally by Groves.

What game you play? Holdem I guess?

And as if by magic he re-appears as though nothing has happened, has your mum just shoved some toast under your bedroom door and woke you up?

Nice. It's hard not to root for Froch. I'm glad he shut Groves up.

Never does with you.
And it didn't
-
Pretty big KO. Never thought Froch had one punch KO power but he showed it there.
Groves needed a fast start but instead tried to make it cagey and outbox Froch - not a wise thing to do given Froch's superior jab and physical advantages..

Keep hearing it was some wonder KO, hopefully a youtube video will surface soon. Was only able to follow BBC live updates.

He fucking nailed him with a hard shot and the ref didn`t even give Groves an 8 count......just stopped the fight.
Groves walked wobbly to his corner.

Controversy, rematch, rematch!!!!! ::)

Controversy, rematch, rematch!!!!! ::)
I didn`t watch any of the post-fight interviews,if there was even any televised,but i`d think they`d do another rematch since the stoppage of Groves both times was "controversial" or quick (no count given).....though I consider him lucky this time out as he got whacked pretty damn hard.

Froch
"I'm feeling unbelievably elated. This is the best moment in my boxing career. I've been involved in some magnificent fights with top, top world champions. This is by far the biggest and best crowd I've boxed in front of. I'm proud. George Groves should be proud. It was neck and neck in there. There was nothing in it. Sometimes in boxing it only takes one punch and unfortunately for George he was on the end of a very heavy right hand."
....
I showed tonight why I am a four-time champion of the world. Why I have defended it 13 times consecutively. The ending showed what makes someone elite for many years.
"The next opponent? Who knows, I will listen to my trainer Rob McCracken."
That was a great right-hander. I timed it perfectly. I was trying to close down George, at times the crowd were getting a bit bored but I was not going to force it. I was biding my time and I knew as soon as I landed it correctly, on the chin, on the jaw section of cranium it would be all over and it was. It must be the best punch I have ever thrown and landed in my life. It is not going to get any better than this. It was absolutely fantastic.
"George is very quick, he buzzed me a bit with a shot, so I had to take my time. I have 12 rounds in me, I executed my gameplan perfectly and there you have it, he has his leg wrapped around him and it was sorry sight for him in the end. He came in very confident, probably over-confident. I think it was a little bit deer in the headlights, but he brought it on himself."
"I would like to fight again. I think the way I took him out there, I was not in a war there. I would love to fight in Las Vegas."
-
Thanks bro. ;)
-
Groves:
"I am fine. It is boxing. Fair play to Carl, he caught me. I thought I was doing very well in the fight but it is boxing. I have to hold my hands up and I'll come back bigger and better and stronger.
"I feel like I let myself down but congrats to Carl, fair play. He got the punch and I congratulate him."
...
"It is boxing, the fights are hyped. I don't like or dislike any of my opponents. I'd love to come again. I was ahead on the scorecards until that point and I'll be pushing hard to get my world title shot and if Carl is still boxing maybe that will be against him.
"Yes (it's a learning experience). I'm young enough. I will learn and improve. I made a silly mistake. I left my chin open. All the imperfections need to be corrected. We'll come back stronger. It's back to the drawing board. We've got no excuses. Tonight is all about Carl, it's his night now."
Also, Froch proposed to his gf.... so a bad night overall for him.

Sucks not mooching at my parents' house with sky sports, movies et al. Girlfriend out at a party, good thing I have wine to comfort me.

Groves was outboxing him badly early on,but got caught bigtime.

just halved his earnings right there, hes going to be broke faster than Mayweather.

Froch has a genetic advantage (white) to hold onto money better. Noone can compare to Jews though, superior money athletes.
-
Glad Groves got beaten. Not particularly a fan of Froch either but you don't go around like Groves talking the way he did before the fight with no legit credibility as a fighter at all. He has never achieved anything in the ring - until he does he has not earned the right to talk big and play mind games like Mayweather or Ali.

I think Froch is off Eastern Europeon Jewish ancestry.

It was good to see it live. Lots of attention seeking celebrities in attendance. I was seated by the guard rail close to where the fighters had to walk to come to the ring and most people in my section were more worried about taking selfies than watching the boxing! I must have been one of the few who didn't give a shit about celebrities and didn't watch the entire event through my phone.

nah she is a cool chick
carl is a really nice guy very down to earth

all over the press, the news, people talking in the street about it. I wonder how long till a top MMA fight gets the same excitement, I think within 5 years. Two top Brits fighting for da world title in da cage, Wembley baby.

People were saying that 10 years ago.

It`ll never happen trust me on that.

I was amazed the interest in it. Even the tarts in the beauty salon where I use a sunbed were talking about it!

Do they ever plug it in for you?

Ive upped the minutes lately, I have that sort of pale skin that doesn't tan easily. When I was in Malia a few years back all the locals nicknamed me Casper (as in the ghost) and used to sing Heyyyyyyyyyy Casper ohh ohhh I wannnnaaa know lalalala" at me
-
When are you making your MMA debut Darren? Will the fight be uploaded on Youtube?
-
Both average fighters at best, typical british type hatton hype.Only decent fighter come out of the joint last ten years Calzagie and they all hated him because he wasnt english, couldnt punch but he could box.
-

October I hope and yes it ll be on youtube and probably all over thenews as news agencies go mad for the new MMA sesnsation - me!

Calzaghe was never hated. His ambition though was rightfully questioned because he spent a decade fighting stiffs defending a worthless belt and more often than not, didn’t take the best available fights.

Fair point but I think he would have beaten Froch. Points win but pretty comprehensive.

Yeah, I think he would have too. Probably something like 116-112 on the scorecards. Similar to the Calzaghe-Kessler fight.

Exactly, would have loved to have seen them fight just to see Froch beaten. Something about him I just don't like. Looks like his next fight might be in Vegas against Chavez Jr. Have you got any interest in that fight because I don't?

Is it because hes half Polish? Racist post reported.

Chavez Jr isn't a very good boxer and has lived off his father's success. Froch will beat him pretty easily although Jr's toughness will probably see it go the distance.
There aren’t many options for Froch now. A rematch with Ward is pointless and Froch isn’t willing to go to LHW. A fight with GGG will be intriguing if the Kazak moves up in SMW.
-
GGG would knock him out early, Based on that Groves put him down first fight.
-
3 minutes per day access to internet only ? senor AmonRa Leopold ;D
Still no coins :D

GGG looks potentially a great fighter but he's not fought anyone on Froch's calibre yet. Nor has he fought at SMW.
I think Froch under estimated Groves in the first fight. Can't see him doing that against GGG.

That would be a great fight because you have a massive puncher in Golovkin vs a dude with an unbelievable chin and toughness.
