    Ha ha ,, I just watched the full interview ,, Jeez thats sports physcologist has done wonders with Froch , he was'nt the dumb tongue tied one anymore , He absolutly murdered George ha ha

    He gave him a doublr slap ha ha

    I thought you were gonna say ignore him. Not give him a slap!!! I love the way you get the sack for winding each other up but not for giving someone a slap

    No politcly correct bull**** at my works , sort it out , I always said a good left hook is the best equalizer ha ha ,.

    Nope they would'nt get the sack of me for sorting out there differences , they would get the sack if they did'nt , only spoiling the day for the rest of us , , and once sorted , if one would'nt drop it , he would get the sack .

    Its called , back to basics ,, evry time me and my brother had a go , the old man used to say , I've had enough of this **** ,,, then the settee and the chairs were put there to , form a ring , the tea towels rapped round the fist , he would throw us in the middle and say , no biting , scratching or kicking now SORT IT ,, ha ha used to happen 2-3 times a week . .

    Sports Psychologist has really helped Froch head. Almost as impressive a turn around as O'Sullivan in the snooker. Good to see.

    I think some of you are confusing sports psychology with psychiatry or hypnosis or something. No matter.

    I just watched it and I thought Groves was, just as in every other conference, rock solid. He believes in himself. Froch has (and has had to) change things since the first fight. Why? Because he's at the arse end of his career and his attitude and reaction to Fight 1 was public relations suicide. Thus in reality we're seeing several things from Froch. Firstly, he is used to Groves a little more after all these months in "groves, groves, groves, whaddabout Groves" mode. Secondly, he has decided to try to be non-reactive to Groves as best he can - so instead of yelping "I am a superstar and you are not worthy" he has gone for a simple non-reactional response to Groves (as best he can) - here is, partially, your sports psychology. Thirdly, he is probably intensely aware that he will be retired a long time and involved in punditry and presentation and other sorts of media. He went from hero to zero after Groves 1 and cannot afford to get slaughtered in the court of public opinion. Thus everything he is doing is probably being passed through that prism in his own mind.

    Tough few weeks for Froch. And tougher to pick who I'd like to see win. I wanted Groves to win the first fight, and thought he would.

    Just shown the interview to my missis ,, she pissed herself laughing , and actually asked me , Is the red head ******ed ,

    Then i had a bright idea , i remembered that she , had never seen the fight , so i thought since she is the best judge of fights i have ever seen , i'll ask her the skills she aquired have come from sitting ringside , and watching probably thousands of fights , starting with me has a 15 year old , right through to our three sons , and the hundreds of fights where i was a coach .

    What did she think , first coment was , Watt is a facking idiot and what fight waqs he watching , has she pointed out NUMEROUS times , he's getting excited over punches Groves did'nt throw , she was quick to point out how biassed he was , that it was a lot closer than the commentaters were saying .

    The stoppage , from the first big hit Froch landed in 9, she said , he's gone , his legs have gone , then very quickly she counted 1-2-3-4-5-6 ,unanswered punches , stop it she said , at the very moment he stopped it ,

    Whats contreversial she said , his legs had gone , he was'nt answering the punches he was trying to hold , and not doing a good job of it ,
    Naaw she said , 1-2-3 more punches he might be dead . Has she pointed out , he was stood up on instnct , . How do you know i asked ,

    Because i've watched my husband , and my 3 sons all do the same she said , and i'm a mother , he was gone , his legs had gone , and that was EXCELLENT refereeing she said .
    You know what i agree with her , but who's gonna win the next one , FACKED IF I KNOW , i do favor Froch because i agree with what he said in the interview , it was his worst performance .

    Degale beat Groves comfortably in their fight. He just has more class than the ginger whinger and hasn't spent the last 3 years moaning.

    Degale will win the rematch (should it happen) even easier.

    Right. Yet he didn't throw a punch until about round six. It was a close fight no matter who you thought won. Don't be so dumb as to think it was 'comfortable' for either man.

    :patsch

    Degale pissed it mate. Georgie's abysmal stamina meant he couldn't claw it back.

    James won by at least 3 rounds.
