The Boxing thread

[Dogtanian]

Jim not everyone knows about boxing, my sister wouldn't have a clue neither would my mother, he named one in the same weight then two well known British boxers.

I think we are flogging a dead horse here......

I'm beating a retreat from here.

Good because guys it doesn't matter does it? it's no big deal.

wasnt really arsed who won just wanted to see a good fight and in the end it was , well a bit shit.
good Ko and think froch was way infront anyway

 

[Malty]

I was joking but it doesn't matter (we are all on the same team let's have banter without getting personal), Froch is going to Vegas anyway.

Good punch but I disagreed with the commentators on how the fight was going. Groves looked quite comfortable until that punch but fair play to Froch he set it up well.

Let's see him take on Andre Ward, that would truly prove he is a great if he could beat him. Don't think he wants anything to do with Ward though.

Froch has nothing to prove, just shows if the ref had not stopped the last fight, Groves would have got hurt badly. Well done Karl, a true pro and boxer. Respect.

I'm not trying to take anything away from him, he's done great since he lost to ward. But the fact does remain he looked outclassed by Ward and it's the only loss he hasn't avenged. Froch is world class, but strange as it sounds I would rate Ward as elite. Im just not sure he's confident in winning that fight, he said Ward will probably retire unbeaten..

this thread had me thinking about what City could do in the future, especially if they built a new stadium for NYCFC, or even used Yankee stadium.

A dual boxing card, dual main-events, one half at the Etihad and then it's followed up with the card from the US.

I think that could be something awesome in years to come.

Not watched any boxing in years but I just ordered the channel that's showing this fight. I have no idea who these two are to be honest, hopefully it's a good fight.

The more groves trashed talked leading up to the fight and froch stayed quiet unlike the last time, I had a feeling it would end badly for groves and damn did it end very badly for groves. That punch would have rocked his ancestors

 

[01cravend]

Froch focused on the fight, Groves focused on the media, outcome was not obvious but was easy to predict...Put a bet on for the Froch KO, and it happened, my winnings have been blown but I'm happy for Froch, especially on the back of his, referees decision, naysayers

 

[B\connellblue]

Poor from groves to get tagged by that just when he was getting a foothold in the fight. fucking hell if you can't defend the old one two then you have no business fighting for world titles. Frochs legend is assured he should call it a day now.

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

Thought Froch was pretty impressive last night. Opinions seem to differ as to who was actually winning before the knock out, well I had Froch winning and looking fairly comfortable and the reason he was able to knock him out is because Groves had to come out and attack due to losing the battle tactically.
