    Had the **** booed out of him, looked very uncomfortable made some interesting facial expressions...

    Groves very confident and self assured. Had the best reception from the crowd by some way


    Both look in tremendous physical condition

    Well I never saw that post coming...

    Fu*k sake... It was a weigh in, there were an equal amount of boos and cheers for both guys, as you'd expect. Froch does what he always does in looking away first etc., and Groves's smile never reached his eyes.

    I'll read nothing into any of it.

    Your last sentence is the only bit of your post that is actually true.

    Froch looked fine. He's always like that, always looks away first. Looked like there was some arguing going on between security..

    People see what they want too see.

    Both looked nerve free and very relaxed considering...

    Both looked fantastic in the weigh-in. Hopefully it's a ******* with humility pouring out of the winner.

    Froch in 5.

    I have gone for a Froch win and I am not going to change my mind...

    But I will admit as the last two weeks have gone past and I've watched the Sky programmes I have become less and less confident.

    And today's weigh in made me feel even less confident, Groves looks like he is enjoying every second of this, the training, the build up, the press conferences and today the weigh in and while Froch does look focused to me he looks nervous and a little flat.
    Froch was doing all the talk at the face to face and that was a little surprising considering he has stayed silent and most of the time in the build up, they say a dog starts yapping when it is rattled, well Groves never said a word, the only person yapping was Carl.

    I'm probably reading way to much into this and getting carried away with all the hype, emotion and atmosphere but that is how I'm seeing things this afternoon.

    It should be a great fight and the atmosphere will be amazing and credit to the fans who turned up today, they are making this a huge fight.
