Behind the Ropes 27/05/14

id have to agree.

Ill be honest and pin my co,ours to the mast. I want Groves to win.

However, i had no confidence in the rematch until i watched tonights episode. The points that ring out to me was the spar with Eubank Jr, and the half arsed session he was doing on the watt bike while having a random chat with his missus.

In the spar he was eating far too many right hands and telegraphing his work. If he took even one of those right hands from Groves he'd hit the canvas. I thought he looked slow and lethargic as well.

Then the phone call to his missus just didnt sit well with me. Maybe it was a one off. But it just didnt fill me with confidence (if i was a Froch fan).

Yep, i feel a lot more confident Saturday night now.

 

I like both these lads so don't have a definite favourite for Sat just think Froch may be thinking more about retirement.But to be honest,and it could be the way it was edited, didn't think the Groves camp was meticulously planned either!The good thing is we are closed to finding out !

 

mon tae duck someone get a link up

 

please

 

interesting seeing some of the footage again. ithe whole push thing is interesting, it almost seemed like Carl was goading Groves into doing something about it, endangering the fight, yeah its a long shot but a big risk as a brawl could easily have broken out, could have been an out for him.

that different angle on the hand shake was interesting as well, Carl was visibly ****ed off, at first I felt he made George look silly, but looking at his response its clear that Groves got the response he wanted. I don't condone what Groves did, it was childish, but it definitely pissed Froch off.

I dont really think anyone has a mental edge. Carl is pretending he is not effected and George is making himself look a tit, but there is a chance George is really pissing Froch off to the point it may effect him in the fight. he is definitely an expert in riling people up.

 

Id have agreed with that, but its the fact he sits down afterwards and mutters everyone can have a push and a pull that mugs groves off.

Groves wanted him to go into full melt down and he didnt

 

What was last nights episode like? Any good training footage how are they both looking ?
