GEORGE GROVES claims Carl Froch is running scared from a domestic dust-up.
The Commonwealth super- middleweight champion fights Uruguay’s Noe Gonzalez Alcoba tonight before Froch meets Mikkel Kessler.
But the build-up to their respective bouts has been peppered with a war of words between the two Brits after Froch labelled Groves a ‘traitor’ for sparring with Kessler.
This has only intensified Groves’ desire to take on Britain’s No.1 super-middleweight.

I think there is a time and a place for talk like this from Groves but in the week leading up to the fight this is just plain disrespect from him towards Froch, I understand he's just after some publicity but it's bad timing.
Can't blame Groves for talking like this he's a contender & the Froch fight would be fight in the UK but both Froch & Kessler are on another level to Groves. Can't blame Groves for sparring with Kessler either its good experience for him & what he needs. I personally like George Groves & can see him picking up a world title but not sure if a fight with Froch or Kessler will ever happen depends if these guys are still fighting by the time he makes it to world level, if he does
Groves is decent, but it makes you wonder how he can become ranked at #1 by the WBO when he hasn't beaten anyone at world level. Unless you count a very old Glen Johnson.
This nobody makes me laugh. We all know groves is a bit chinny, never mixed it on world level, not even contender level bar degale who he arguably lost too. What has he done to deserve froch exactly?
