Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 2, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 2, 2014 As I understand it, HBO had Groves winning the first four rounds. Â The HBO gang don't like Froch & do whatever they can to undermine him, I think this is mainly due to Andre Ward being no.1 in that division and them trying to ram it down your throat all the time. Take the Kessler/Froch fight they were showing. Lampley told everyone in the broadcast this fight is between no.2 & no.3 in the division. No.1 in the division Andre Ward is the man standing to my right. And last night in their summary Max Kellerman said, "Froch has the characteristics like the last great British fighter, Joe Calzaghe to keep going up through the gears and giving more than their opponent. Unless that opponent is Andre Ward of course, who is the best fighter in the world." Floyd Mayweather doesn't exist in HBO land. Â Â Hearn was asked at the weigh-in Q&A about Ward and he said 'Andre Ward couldn't sell out his living room', so i don't think they have any interest in that. If Froch is going to go to Vegas to fight it's probably either gonna be against Chavez Jr. which is the money fight or a fight with Sakio Bika which will have another belt on the line, it'll be one of those two i think...both fights could be absolute barn-burners too, Froch/Bika would be crazy. Â I think we can rule out any possibility of a James DeGale fight, at this stage in his career i don't see why he'd take that fight, it'll never top last Saturday.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted June 2, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 2, 2014 I honestly don't know where Froch goes now. Las Vegas for Ward to tan his arse again? Light Heavyweight? Rent Boy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 2, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 2, 2014 i don't think the Ward fight will happen, it's the one blemish left on Froch's record yet to be avenged but it's a horrible match-up and there's more money to be made elsewhere.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted June 2, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted June 2, 2014 I reckon it'll be Froch vs Chavez Jr in Vegas. Bigger name than Bika, easier fight than Ward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 2, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 2, 2014 here's a couple of pics i took Saturday... Â Â Â Â Â gotta mention as well that i bumped into promoter Spencer Fearon on Wembley Way before the show, just about as nice a guy you could ever meet, it was almost like he felt he needed to justify why we stopped and asked for a photo, guy was a class act.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted June 2, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted June 2, 2014 And for those who watched on Sky, was Jim Watt's commentary really that bad? it was all over twitter and my dad mentioned last night that he basically had Froch winning every round. I had Groves slightly ahead live but it can come across way different on TV. I thought Watt was spot on at half way. He had Groves winning round 2, which I agreed with, and Froch the other 5. I then had Groves winning the next for 5-2 and he was up in the 8th before the KO. Â I could see an argument that it was only 4-3 Froch after 7, there was another close round. However the fact that some judges had Groves ahead baffled the life out of me. Froch was dominant, he took the centre of the ring and dictated the fight, both the pace and the tactics. He stepped in and hurt groves with some wonderful combinations. Â Groves hit some nice clean shots at times, perhaps more scoring shots is my only guess, but it isn't the Olympics. I'm glad it didn't go down to the judges because that would have been a bigger travesty than the first fight. Â As for the commentary, I thought it was very biased towards Groves. Nick Halling wet his fucking knickers every time Groves threw a left and Watt seemed to begrudgingly acknowledge Froch's dominance after a few rounds. Was surprised he had him so far ahead. Â Funniest bit was Glenn Whatshisface. Spent the pre-match spouting about a Groves win and then afterwards tried to justify his very incorrect POV with "This was a different Carl Froch". Really? Different to the absolute Warrior we've seen so many a time? He was only different in that he took the fight a little more seriously than the first one and every man and their dog was lining up to say that last week. Plum.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted June 2, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted June 2, 2014 I could see an argument that it was only 4-3 Froch after 7, there was another close round. However the fact that some judges had Groves ahead baffled the life out of me. Â Groves at the press conference was saying he thought he was winning comfortably and I'm sure I even heard him say he was "dominating" Froch with his jab. I guess you have to cut him some slack though, coming out of the ring without yet having watched it back. Plus of course he's going to act like he was winning. Using the word "dominating" was mad though. Â I had it 5-2 to Froch as well. Barely heard the commentary at all because I had a house full, but without even hearing it I can believe Glenn McCrory and/or Jim Watt were shit. I've never been a fan of Watt, to be honest. I usually find he harps on negatives a fighter is doing so much, even if it's a minor thing, that it can really ruin your enjoyment of a fight. To be fair, I can't criticize his work on this fight because I didn't really hear him, as I said. But I won't exactly miss him when he eventually pisses off from the commentary booth.

Bugsey713 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Just want to say I agree with everything Tiger Rick said above. The commentary was ridiculously biased to Groves and you could tell they were desperate for a Groves win. It just made me want to see a Froch KO win even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted June 2, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted June 2, 2014 Oh yeah, David Haye pretty much confirmed after the show on Saturday, that he's fighting again by the end of the year. He said something like 'If I was a betting man, I'd bet I'll be fighting sometime around September/October'. Â Adam Booth was asked if Haye would fight the Fury-Chisora winner but he said he'd rather Haye take a couple of fights to get back in there first before doing something big.

GalaxyV.2 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Funniest bit was Glenn Whatshisface  Urgh I can't stand him. My mates and I were laughing about how Glenn would clearly try and get out of what he had said before the fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimufctna24 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I reckon it'll be Froch vs Chavez Jr in Vegas. Bigger name than Bika, easier fight than Ward. No one looks good against Bika  Chavez Jr is perfect for Froch style wise. Could be a cracker of a fight, and Froch should win. Chavez is also a bigger name stateside than Ward, so on paper that fight ticks all the boxes.  Glad to see you had a good time EBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
