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.
Why does he dislike him? Surely you have to respect what he has achieved. They were close enough to spar a number of years ago, what has changed. It really is PPV doing the talking here. Would you lay me odds of Groves stating his admiration for Froch once the Cobra has beat him fairly? |

It isn't tho, I think if you check my posts itt I called this fight a while before it was officially announced, Froch didn't want the fight to go ahead as he said George wasn't even worthy of challenging him but the fact he was mandatory meant he had to be given the shot. Froch was going on like George is a complete nobody and belittling his efforts and achievements. Imagine going on like that would make most people dislike someone. Although I do think he hasn't shown Froch the respect he deserves but that's just giving him a taste of his own medicine really.
Most boxers make up after a fight so I won't be offering odds, I think if Groves wins on pts then Froch defo won't want to reconcile but I think George will be humble enough to eat his words.

Tend to agree with Milli here. Froch doesn't really do bad mouthing. Even against Ward he was fairly tame. I am not sure I have ever heard him say he didn't like a fighter before and the contrast between this and the Kessler fight is telling. Of course it isn't big odds they show respect at the end but Froch has said there won't be any hugs and I wouldn't be betting on it.

Grooves has come across similar to how degale acted when he fought Grooves.
Hope Froch destroys him!

I hope the fight is better quality than the preamble and "trash-talking" or there will be some very disappointed PPV customers.

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)
You've been mugged off by too many Hayemaker fights Rich. We all have. Genuine dislike here IMO. Definitely wouldn't refer to either of these two as "class" though. Andre Ward is class. |

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
Agree with this Froch has not looked at all comfortable to me Sky seem determined to turn him into a "character" something that just does not fit naturally for him. Fancy this to go the distance tonight with Froch recovering from a slow start to just edge it |
