utter bollocks, a vegas ward clash has been mooted repeatedly. you did make it up.
it'd be a bit harsh on the winner of macklin v murray!
1 of the us networks would pick up froch groves 2
just that it was gonna be an exciting ending. in the prediction thread i stated groves would be ahead (he did even better than i thought he would)...
great fight, but didn't we all realize that at the time? there was applause in the pub i watched it in following the 6th. if it were ****, nobody...
he's slow full stop, just so tough he slows his opponents down to his own pace later in fights. plus it shouldn't be ignored that he fought on...
he's an analyst, and a good 1, not a comedian. sure you ain't just stereotyping his accent?
speculating of course (who ain't on these threads? at least i'm honest!) but i imagine the initial plan was to establish range and negate that...
in that case, definitely not. the decision maker has to be in the ring, talking to a fighter and looking into his eyes.

agree on the standing 8, although i don't think groves even needed 1 of those last night. would it be scored as a knockdown, as in 10-8?...
not sure where to start. probs ain't worth it.
you presented it as a proof. as for groves winning by ko, your own theory disproves that, as froch has a better chin and recovery than either, not...
2 different people. ridiculous.
it would matter, as it would show ward can do it despite hostile crowds and an unsympathetic ref.
