      The Dawson fight wasn't even a catchweight, it was at 168. ***** move by Ward considering he won olympic gold at 175.

        Educated, objective fans know this will be the label....why?...because the A side of the bout has already been Owned by a guy with a torn rotator cuff on his right arm and a fractured hand on his left...

        Yes...you read that correctly....Carl Froch was comprehensively beaten by a guy with injuries on BOTH sides...lol...it's really amazing in hindsight...


        but hey....congratulations on your caring about Boxing even though you don't have any elite/great fighters, Britain....us Americans?....well, we generally don't give a **** about the sport...we couldn't get 80k for our biggest fight, let alone a Battle of The Bs fight like Froch-Groves....

        Crazy that we still maintain and crank out the most (and BEST) TOP P4Pers, isn't it?

              I'm curious, is this more or less relevant than Andre Ward against Edwin Rodriguez?

                    What we can take from the OP's post is that he'll be one of the first to tune in. Enjoy the fight, mate.

                      Meaning is overrated. It's going to be a great fight and event.
