    Booth is groves manager but not his trainer - ringside - what a load of shite. Groves is good but froch will have him out before round 7. What ever the idea is behind this Froch could not care. Really pathetic.

    Who knows? maybe Groves wanted to split but Booth has a contract as his manager so he dumped him as a trainer for reasons only known to them.

    He is probably contractually stuck with him as Manager. He is looking to reduce how much he has to pay out because he knows he is going to lose, why pay out a fortune for a Booth as trainer when the outcome is obvious

    Anyone would think Froch looked a beast in last fights. He looked poor against a shot Kessler. Bute great win but suspect will look worse after Pascal v Bute. Beaten by Kessler I, struggled with The Road Warror, IMO lost to Dirrell, and got a gift on the cards v Ward as the loss was conclusive. Mack, think GG would walk through same with AA and Jermain Taylor.
    Good fighter yes but so is Groves, think he is in for a shock.

    Are you a nob? Kessler shot? What do class as a shot fighter? Yeh he may not not of been the kessler he was 5 years ago but he was in no way shot. Danny Williams is a shot fighter not Kessler you idiot. People like you really wind me up! No one wanted anything to do with Bute before he fought Froch and everyone was expecting him to knock Froch out. People like you are just idiots!

    i think that the apprant shot Kessler would probably still beat Groves at the moment.

    Well said that man! Too many people are emotionally attached to fighters and cant be objective. If you doubt how great Froch has been for British boxing and play down his record then you're not a true boxing fan.

    Be interesting to hear Kessler's thoughts on the fight given he sparred with GG just before the Froch fight.

    :huh

    You think it's a ruse to unsettle Froch ?

    Maybe Groves just wants a different trainer. No need for anyone (who isn't Adam Booth) to get upset about this.

    All indications are Groves more than handled himself - whihc is why i suspect they chased the Froch fight.

    I doubt either Booth or Groves think they can unsettle Froch in this way.

    Naflad I am a nob. Danny Williams is shot to **** huge difference. Ok perhaps a bit harsh on Kessler but no way is he prime and Froch beating him doesn't negate his loss as he said it does. Bute, I said great win and I did expect a Bute win hands up to that. But I think Pascal will destroy him. Was at the Dirrell fight (supporting Froch I add) and he lost IMO. Just a realist not a fanboy.

    Dirt stupid statement been watching for years and a big fan. Never knocked him and how good he been for boxing in UK. Don't imagine for a second he wanted to go on that awful dancing show but is playing the game and boosting boxing. Just think there are blemishes on a very good boxing CV.
