what a surprise a remach with more trash talking etc. Think we all predicted this the day of the first fight

Getting as bad as WWE, wonder what the best result for the promoter will be this time!?

Tighty. You are completely wrong on this account. It is not a surprise rematch, it is a justice ball. Groves had to make an official appeal to the ref's decision. The IBF ordered the rematch!

Then if you take into account the personal issues they don't like each other. It is that simple. It is going to be the biggest British boxing match in recent history.

I was being facetious, of course its not a surprise, its completely expected

As a sports fan, and no more than a casual boxing fan, i feel the integrity of the whole thing is lacking

I doubted the result of the last contest wasn't a fix, I knew there would be a rematch and I know they will rake in millions from it from PPV and then the ridiculous press conferences when they trot out scripted nonsense and snarl at each other

Wish the whole thing would just grow up

Not really the sport I grew up watching on terrestial, but perhaps I am harking back idealistically to an era that will never return

Completely agree

[Bazzaboy]

2/1 Groves is massive.  I'll be surprised if he is much bigger than 5/4 come fight night.

Totally agree.  Groves on upgrade too whilst 6 months is a long time when you are Frochs age.  I'm not even sure I think Froch should be favourite....marginal fave at best for me.

[McGlashan]

I want want to see Carl Froch and George Groves fight, every bit as much, as I do not want to hear them talk.

It's close to a pick'em for me aswell.

I grew up ready for Benn Eubank. Very similar ingredients to this fight....

Actually think if he stays outside this could be Groves at a canter.

This is not the boxers or sportsmens fault though is it?

It is totally media induced. In the old days guys would announce a fight, say a few words and box three months later, these days they must spend as much time being interviewed and with cameras or dictaphones shoved in their faces as they do in the gym. As a result they have to create an image, a scenario, and say something.

Pretty sure that, unless you're David Haye, most of these guys would be far happier without the press hounding them all the time.

Tyson Fury is absolutely at it on Boxnation right now!

[Tal]

Saw he'd weighed in at 274 but that's because he had a load of baggy clothes on, effectively concealing what his real weight was. Odd man.

[McGlashan]

Play acting, it's big business.

Might just be that he was fatter than he should have been and he knew it. This guy is terrible. Really hope someone does a job on him soon.

[McGlashan]

Peter Fury's words were he was an okay weight for that fight.

Weight perhaps but that's not ok shape for any fight.
