Froch Vs Groves

I know they manufacture the hype a bit but think this one has gone a bit Ott just to get more people on ppv. Froch is gonna piss it and Groves won't last more than 4 rounds. He's no where near Froch and splitting with his trainer is the final nail for me.
 
What has Groves said or done exactly that has pissed Froch off so much? Every time I see anything on TV it is Froch treating Groves like a **** but claiming that he has been disrespected for want of a less ****ish word. Or is it just Froch trying to sell the fight to Pay TV viewers?

No doubt part of it is Froch just hyping the fight, but Groves went and sparred with Kesler in the run up to the last Froch vs Kesler fight and that upset Froch

If that is all that Groves has done to upset Froch so much then I'd suggest that Froch is being a massive flange.
 
In the op was just the beginning of groves being a wanker but he then went on tv ans was massively disrespectful. He has called him a nobody and a waste. Im all for trash talking but talking shit like that to a warrior like Froch is bang out of order and he is setting himslf up to get hurt

Sorry for saying massive
 
I'm gonna book this fight on virgin. I booked the froch v Kessler fight and it went well but wouldn't let me rewatch the fight a couple of days later. It was supposed to let you rewatch the fight for 5 days. I complained to virgin and got a refund. Fingers crossed its the same again.
 
Rather watch the WWE.

At least we know that's staged managed!

I know it's a minority view but I really fancy Groves for this one. Head says Froch but I've got a nagging feeling that this is where the wars catch up with the Nottingham man.
I keep thinking Groves may have a chance but for me its a punchers chance. Froch against Kessler was not that long ago and he looked as good as ever that night. Froch can take a serious punch and keep coming at you

Expect this to go the distance with Groves taking the early rounds and then keeping on his toes and fighting on the counter. I wouldn't be surprised to be wrong though.....l

I cringed so mo much when I saw that I had to switch channels. I never see the need in that kind of display, it's embarrassing ! fighters should act with dignity and show respect to their opponents. You do your talking in the ring and when it's done you shake hands and move into the next one

wouldn't sell a scallop to a michelin starred chef with that approach.

Reality is more casual viewers will tune in if they think they both hate each other and are going to punch the shit out of each other, rather than just mutual respect which makes you think they'll just spar and see who wins on points, or that they're just there to pick up the cheque.

I've never seen a fighter so scared in my years of watching boxing than groves was before,he looks terrified.

I don't read much into that nowadays, lost money betting based on weigh ins! Mayweather often looks gotten too, he was edgy against Hatton & Canelo, remember watching the weigh in to the UFC fight with Rampage and Evans and Rashad looked like he was going to puke. That said Groves has gone and put a shit load of pressure on himself and that's probably on his mind.

Not quite sure of your point. You trying to say the fight is rigged?

The pre fight crap most definitely yes.

This fight wont be rigged but the vast majority, especially some of the heavyweight shite we have to endure, definitely yes!

The vast majority of fights are no contests with opponents hand picked knowing they have no fucking chance and they are nothing more than the next rung of the ladder for the the man on the way up.

Two major problems with that is the fight is a fucking joke half the time and it leaves the sport wide open to betting manipulation with the man who has no chance taking a dive at a pre organised time for a few extra notes.

Okay mate you are entitled to your opinion and I agree with you regards the pre fight stuff, selling tickets is how they make the pay the rest has nothing to do with this fight though. This is a man who fought everyone to get himself in contention and deservedly so for the belt and the belt holder is a tried and tested world class boxer.

Fights at the very top like this are fair enough imo.

I talk of the vast majority of fights where nothing more than the purse is at stake for one of them and a poor one at that it probably is.

As you can tell, im not a fan of the fight game and on that, its probably unfair of me to offer an opinion on this thread mate and i will back out.

Those into it, enjoy the night.
