    I think he's more interested in his model girlfriend then getting in the ring these days and who can blame him

    You do realise Groves outboxed DeGale on the back foot when he beat him?

    Why cos he didn't stand there to get smashed?

    He got outboxed.

    Froch should have also had points taken for holding and hitting, hitting on the break and rabbit punches.

    I like Froch but he was gifted this one.

    I watched it again last night and scored it 115-113 Dirrell. Froch knows he lost that fight.

    Froch nuthugged Floyd Mayweather for exactly the same tactics. If he was consistent then surely Mayweather is a coward aswell for not "coming to fight"?

    I thought being hard to hit "was not what fighting/boxing was all about" Carl?

    Dirrell tries to win a boxing match without taking alot of punishment and thats the cowards way according to Carl.

    Andre Ward schools him and Ward is a coward who won't engage in a proper dust up.

    Floyd does it and Froch is creaming his pants. Playing the Sky puppet though, he obviously got the memo from Adam Smith to talk it up.

    His cringey performance in the build up alongside a naturally charasmatic Paulie Maglinaggi was also quite funny. The look of insecurity on his face at not being sure if he was the best man on set was hilarious. Stumbling over his words

    If you believe its not the mans way of fighting then be consistent about it for christ sake, not just when it suits you. Makes you look a fool.
