    The Fighter is my favourite boxing film. Absolutely superb. Len’s a legend.

    Enjoy Croatia bud!

    Stylistically Callum was wrong for him.....or just too good.

    Groves was hurt often agreed his lack oftoughness didn't help, certainly . But if a tougher guy could advance behind an attacking jab, like the middle aged kickboxer did, he could be successful against The Plank.

    Enjoy your hols... We were one of the first tourists back in Croatia after the war. Used to go there every year, sometimes more than once. Visit Plat just south of Dubrovnik if you can. :)

    Holzken got his head boxed off, Len, and that was Smith in 2nd gear going through the motions. Smith actually bust both his hands on hitting him so much. I thought Holzken should have been pulled out of it rather than taking so many heavy shots on the head.

    Since you know more than McGuigan and groves why don’t you put a cv in to Jamie Moore and Frampton and get in his corner for the Warrington fight. They’re gona need the extra help as Josh is gona end the hype train.

    Actually Scissors there are worring (for his fans like me) similarities between groves and frampton, in terms of frampton tending to do that silly grovesesque backward shuffle with his guard low. Now obviously Carl is an elite talent with corresponding superior distance-control,, better footwork and of course Carl is a lot tougher and braver than groves too obviously, but I admit, I don't like to see it and it is a worry.
