I think the undercard is very disappointing. Plenty of names on it but not one competitive fight.

Worst PPV ever?
Main event worthy of it (imo although I know many who don't think it is). To stack the undercard with mismatches is very poor from Hearn. Warren would have got a caning for putting on a card like that. I'd have been happy with competitive domestic clashes but there is not one decent fight apart from the main event, which hopefully lives up to expectations.

In other news Matey got me a ticket for Froch vs Groves this Saturday. BINK!!! This will be my first visit to Boxing Match, just a bit giddy about it. One minute I'm thinking Froch next going with Groves, but in all I'm just going too enjoy it and the undercards look good also..    Know this feeling. I really want Froch to have the legacy of the warrior he truly is and if he gets beat on Saturday i think it will affect his legacy (and possibly rightly so) but I also know he can't go on for ever and Groves has the youth to be good for a long time, but then I also am not sure even if GG won on Saturday he would ever go on to be the type of champion Froch would be......urgh I just dont know..... |

Read another interview with Froch. How could I have ever doubted him? My mancrush is reignited.

I like Groves for this but a few have questioned his chin. Any history to this?

He has never been knocked down in a pro fight as far as I know and I don't recall him ever really being in trouble. There is talk of Froch having knocked him down when they sparred in the past but other than that it is just speculation. He hasn't ever fought someone as heavy handed as Froch though to be fair. |

He was down against Kenny Anderson who can bang. I don't think he has a glass jaw but there are question marks which will get answered one way or tother on Saturday. |

Was rooting for Froch until the promo started. Imo he has come across as a total prick, think he's more worried than he is making out.
Nothing like a bit of bad blood to make for a cracking fight

Completely disagree, Mr Lover. Froch is the proven champion. He's quite entitled to have his say when the challenger is shooting his mouth off in all directions.
Am I the only one that hopes it doesn't end like all David Haye's fights, with him hugging the other guy at the end and retracting all the talk from the build up?

Yep same, Froch has been fine in the build up its groves that's been like the little dog trying to impress his master, embarrassing how groves has been. Hope he gets a right pounding.

Caught the press conference on SSN yesterday
People really believe that they mean the crap they come out with?
Its scripted nonsense to sell PPV tickets right?
Froch wins on Saturday, Groves gets a re-match, they go again, everyone does the same to take a cut of the next lot of £.
No better than WWE
This of course from a casual observer
Whole thing is a complete travesty of sport (not in terms of their ability, training etc but the moneymaking circus in boxing takes the fan for a complete mug)

Tighty sir I assure you that you are wrong in this case. I know from George's side that It is a genuine disliking of each other, just as it was with Degale. I'm not actually a fan of the way George has handled himself in the buildup to this fight and would much rather have seen him just stay quiet but the general opinion was this approach would get to Froch the most.
