Clunge Posted 27 January, 2014 Share Posted 27 January, 2014 Common sense prevails, should never have been stopped so quickly, rematch is what all boxing fans want to see. Safe to say Froch will not be looking forward to the rematch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 25 May, 2014 Share Posted 25 May, 2014 Will be great fight. Think froch will win it in about the 9th or 10th. Last time we saw the best of groves and the worst of Froch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dickyhale Posted 27 May, 2014 Share Posted 27 May, 2014 Think Froch will win it in about the 7th and give Groves good hiding . Last time we saw the best of groves and the worst of Froch. Froch is 20/1 with corals in round seven. Also a very good under-card with another mouthy c-nt James Degale. Also on the card are Anthony Joshua, Jamie McDonnell and Kevin Mitchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Marco Posted 27 May, 2014 Share Posted 27 May, 2014 Will be there too, can't wait. Some good undercard fights too. Froch will probably win via knockout. He made way too many mistakes in the first one which I can't see him repeating. If he turns up in the way he did against Bute then Groves is in for some serious pain.

saint_jas Posted 28 May, 2014 Share Posted 28 May, 2014 Will be there too after a trip to Twickenham to watch the rugby final. Reckon Froch will win in 7 by KO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 28 May, 2014 Share Posted 28 May, 2014 Any idea what time we should arrive at Wembley for? Didn't want to miss drinking time but didn't want to miss the undercard fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 28 May, 2014 Share Posted 28 May, 2014 Any idea what time we should arrive at Wembley for? Didn't want to miss drinking time but didn't want to miss the undercard fights. Think the fights start at 6pm and doors open at 5pm. I could be wrong though. We go to baker street for drinks as the ones at Wembley Park are always rammed. Plus it is only two stops away on the tube if I remember right. Think we will be there from around 2ish and make our way there about 4.45pm. If you want to watch the fights I would give yourself 30mins so be there 5.30pm at the latest imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunge Posted 28 May, 2014 Share Posted 28 May, 2014 I'm going for Groves win, always liked Froch but do think he's coming to the end of a great career, Groves will be to quick for him to handle. Saying that the later the fight goes on the less likely Groves will win it, needs it done in first half of fight, evidence from first fight shows he's got power to knock Froch down though. Either way expecting a great fight, mush prefer boxing when the opponents have a genuine dislike of each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo-Saint Posted 28 May, 2014 Share Posted 28 May, 2014 . If he turns up in the way he did against Bute then Groves is in for some serious pain. Yep https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPkPJLgFHXU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Garrett Posted 28 May, 2014 Share Posted 28 May, 2014 If Froch goes in with his left hand low, Groves will destroy him. You can't teach an old dog new tricks. Groves all day long for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 I can't stand Groves and would love Froch to knock him out. That said he's a good fighter and definitely in with a shout. Froch on points. Just. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 What a bunch of tools, bad luck mate. I won't be going as live in Africa but it's on DSTV here for free so I will defo be watching it. Think Froch has an awkward style that is hard to deal with so I actually think groves will have greater understanding of how he needs to fight him. George starts fast and builds up a sizable lead before Frochs legendary endurance kicks in, the only question is whether he can catch groves before the end of the 12th. I would be seriously shocked if either ended it early. On a side note I flew to Helsinki from Singapore for his Artur Abraham fight and was lucky enough to be staying in the same hotel as him. On the morning of his fight he wonders downstairs and we just start chatting randomly and have a pic together, was a top man then but seems to of changed since his ward fight and the wider recognition from the boxing public. Groves on pts as his engine lets him get to 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted 1 June, 2014 Author Share Posted 1 June, 2014 (edited) throughly enjoyed the evening. spent an f-ing fortune but hey ho Froch was the better fighter but im sure groves will be world champion one day I can see froch retiring after this if he does not get a big fight in Vegas next. Degale is the mandatory challenger and he will get destroyed by froch and it will be nothing like last night as a spectacle Edited 1 June, 2014 by Batman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
