    Carl Froch v George Groves - Part 2.

    Wembley I see.

    Could get close to 100,000 folk?

    Hoping to get down for it.

    If it's as good as the 1st fight it will be well worth it. Fancy Groves to do it this time.

    Seems a bit on the large side?

    Can't imagine it being that great being seated absolutely miles away from the ring either!

    Managed to get tickets. The £110 were sold out in minutes. Can't wait the atmosphere will be amazing, there should be some cracking fights the undercard aswell.

    I say Groves in 5

    Got £110 tickets. Delighted.

    If the press conference today is anything to go by then Groves has got under Frochs' skin again.

    Was my mate that bought them but as far as I'm aware it's on the pitch.

    Block Z for me £110. Looking at the seating plan looks to be around the penalty spot/D of the 18 yard box. Hopefully not much back.

    Around 20000 will be going on soon for the remainder of the upper tier. Was always the plan to stick 60,000 on sale first then release the others later after consulting transport for london etc according to Hearn on an interview.

    Just travel and accommodation now.

    Can't wait.

    what an absolute plum Froch is for acting like that at the PR do, wouldnt surprise me if eddie hearn asked him to shove groves like that to ramp up the pre-fight interest, seems to have worked a treat though hope Groves takes him out properly this time.

    Agree.

    I'm a bit biased because I've followed Groves since he was an amateur and always thought he would win a world title. But he's technically better than Froch, faster, hits harder and now has title fight experience. I think Froch knows this is a very loseable fight, it's a fight he never wanted and he's well rattled.

    When I was watching Ringside, I am sure that Eddie Hearn said 'only Carl Froch and I know what options we had....but we wanted to take this fight'.

    Now I was under the impression that the IBF told Froch he had to fight Groves again. Which makes me think if that's the stuff Eddie Hearn is saying he / they must be very apprehensive.

    Unless I am missing something...

    I think I heard Glenn McCrory says it's an 80,000 sell-out! That is phenom!

    One for the SKY Box Office me thinks

    Just watched yesterday's Ringside. Froch seemed much more controlled this time but Groves is still getting to him. To me, Groves seems to be more genuine whenever he's on TV. Seems like an emotional guy but an honest guy. Froch has to work harder at how he comes across and sometimes he doesn't keep a lid on things.

    Biggest UK fight since Eubank v Benn 2 for me (which I was at) and gutted I'm going to miss it due to being in Denmark for a wedding.

    He's also giving away 10 or 12 years and home advantage. TBH, I'm not really that big a boxing fan, but Groves appears to me to be a right dickhead. All part of the game I guess....

    I think Froch is the bigger dickhead out the two. I just can't take to the guy.

    I think Groves has an unbelievable level of confidence in his own ability....I don't think it's even that arrogant, just supreme confidence.

    Reckon Froch knows he lost and will lose again.

    What time is the Mayweather fight likely to start at.?

  27. #26
    It's scheduled for 2.30ish so I'd expect about 3/3.30.

    Khan fight is the main undercard fight.

    No surprise that mayweather got the win. Again 1 judge embarrassing himself calling that a draw.

    Shouts for a rematch which is just silly, mayweather wins every time.

    Absolutely cracking fight. Hardest Mayweather has been pushed in a long time, probably since Castillo. Was close but he clearly won by 2 or 3 rounds imo.

    The stats don't lie. Mayweather threw 424 punches and landed 230, Maidana threw 850+ and landed 226. From round 7 almost every clean shot cane from Mayweather.

    I had it 8-4 or 7-5 mayweather. Maidana started off great but Floyd did what he always does - figures the other guy out then picks them off.

    Maidana always felt to me like he'd do something crazy and lose points.

    As for the draw judge. What do these people see?

    Maidana has to have a rematch. There's not really anyone to fight in September. Khan has Ramadan and PAC won't happen.
