Froch will "happily" defend against his mandatory Groves

[Dirk Diggler UK]

I think this fight should, and probably will be in the O2 Arena...

I dunno about Froch being 'happy' to face Groves again though, he has been anything but happy about the idea of fighting Groves again ever since the first fight was done with he has done nothing but say he didn't want it again. Maybe he wised up a bit and realised fans where kind of pissed of at him for how he handled himself in the conclusion of the fight.

Anyway, I think Froch wins the next fight too. I can't help but think thought that Froch has had a little bit of his pride and confidence dented by Groves and the fans reactions to him lately. Groves on the other hand despite losing is riding high in comparison and may make it a closer fight, but again loses down the stretch in my opinion.

Froch has never said he didn't want the fight. He has options though and has earned the right to call his own shots.

You never did respond to my bet proposal, Weeb.

As Earl says, the Emirates is a reasonable venue if they want an outdoor event.

I live like a minute away from the Emirates, I'd love it to happen there! I'd definitely go.

Dirk Diggler, love your avi mate!

Not a big fan of out door events, but if it's a must I think it should be in an old school English ground like Nottingham Forest, Stamford Bridge or Upton Park.

Emirates wouldn't do well with people I think. Too big and no atmosphere.

Is there a rooftop on Emirates anyway? If not, it might turn into a mighty mess.

I think the O2 is still by far the best Arena to make it in, but Hearn has a point in terms of him wanting to see how big it could be. I'd like it to be in Nottingham if it was outdoors. Then Froch could swipe that off his list and go to Vegas for his farewell fight.

Is that why he offered Ugly Kid a 7 figure purse?

If they're desperate for numbers, and can somehow shift 60,000+ tickets, it has to be the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Its the only stadium in the UK with a retractable roof.

The O2 is a great venue, but isn't it limited to 18,000-20,000?

Good for Froch. It's the right thing to do in my opinion. He was losing the fight and the referee stopped the fight way too soon. Maybe Froch would have finished him off anyway but maybe not. A rematch shows he is still a good champion and should show who is the better fighter.

as well as a 2 year long contract with dodgy hern

froch knew groves wud decline, thus he quickly moved on to talk about a fight with chavez, but his plans hit a roadblock when he was told he will have to rematch or lose his belt.

frochs dislike for groves has now intensified a trillion times, so much hate and resentment

he's let his emotions get the better of him, it will cost him in the ring, out of character for froch to be so angry to where his hands were shaking trying to cage his emotions in

groves has frochs card marked, better hope hern has paid off the judges and ref
