    Maybe Sky / Adam Smith can see two PPVs:

    Froch vs Chavez Jnr

    George Groves vs Steiglitz.

    What McCraken needs to understand is that Froch was being booed for being a total ***** after the fight. Nothing to do with what he has done for the sport bla bla bla. He showed the Groves kid disrespect afterwards and the crowd quite rightly didnt like it.

    McCraken is talking bollox. he didn't recover from that brutal right hand in the 1st til at least round 3/4

    And if that is what he thinks is staying out the way then thats laughable....Froch was going toe-to toe with him and getting caught everytime

    The credit that Froch is due is after all of that he got himself in a position like he did in 9th after all that beating. regardless of whether the stoppage was early or not.

    He's a muppet. I'd like to think even he's intelligent enough to not believe half the **** that has come out of his own mouth this week. I've lost all respect for the man.

    McCracken talks a lot of sense generally and is backing his man. If I was Carl Froch I would be happy that the person in my corner is backing me.

    Behind closed doors he will no doubt be telling Cral Froch what he really thinks, but get things into perspective ffs.

    Whilst on the subject of Robert McCracken, ive just rewatched his fight with Andy Till, what a fanbase he had (basically the whole Zulu army!!)

    Here here. I feel theres an attempt at history being rewritten by the Froch camp.

    seeing as the general pre-fight narrative was that groves was disrespectful and childish to froch who was telling all and sundry that groves had bad breath, was out of his depth, how he's an 'international superstar' and my personal favourite of 'how he's only lost to one person' then you can see why they'd do it again.

    Warmed to hear Tony Simms stating Froch and his crew were spat at and had drinks throwns over them on the way out of the arena.

    This was on the Boxingnews podcast... on itunes... google it.

    Anyone who thinks McCraken was going to come out on TV and slate his man in public clearly has no idea about man management.

    It's not deluded, it's sensible from a man who needs his fighter to have a winners mentality. Simple.

    I honestly think Glenn McCrory is by far the best pundit on sky. Says his opinion, which is usually reasonable and doesn't just toe the party line

    Whilst I completely disagree with nearly all McCracken had to say. The lack of respect being shown to him is disgraceful.

    A trainser is paid to look after his fighter before, during and AFTEr a fight.

    That is what he is doing.
