Official Froch vs Groves II Master Discussion Thread

[LacedUp]

It's the day of this fight, and the Cotto-Martinez thread here has over twice the replies and 2.5 the views...

Like I said....Cotto-Martinez (being held in America and with way less attendance) is more important than Froch-Groves II...

Without a doubt, this bout will go down as The Most Meaningless Fight with The Highest Attendance in History.

lol wtf.

You know what the american/puerto rican to British ratio is on this site?

Stick the two threads on ESB and you'd probably see it the other way round.

If Cotto/Martinez was as big, it would sell out 80k in 20 minutes - but it didn't. Froch/Groves did.

The long-suffering boxing fan in me is worried about a makeup call in this fight if Froch gets stunned. They are fighting on the Island of Terrible Stoppages, after all.

That's honestly the last thing I'm worried about.

Having seen the scorecards of 2x76/75 and 78/73 I'm a lot more worried about a bad decision.

I think the ref will understand that no controversy this time around is a must.

Not that I'd be surprised by a dodgy Froch decision, but I think that possibility drastically lowered because of the first fight. Sympathies will have swung Groves's way, I would think. Maybe I'm wrong about that.

But now Groves is with sauerland and this being promoted by hearns i would not be suprised at all with a bad decision later. I hope whoever wins it wins it fair and no dodgy decisions i am a massive Groves fan but i think Froch will win.
