With the first fight been so good & then the dodgy stoppage that left people begging for more. The massive stadium, the sellout in an hour & the hype which is already massive & will continue to build further & further, this event feels like it is being promoted to be the biggest & best event in sporting history. Now on the flip side with all the focus on the headline fight we could end up with a **** undercard then if the main event doesn't quite live up to the standard of the first fight you could end up with 80,000 people (of which 75k didn't see a thing in the ring) all going home slightly underwhelmed & Eddie & the touts laughing all the way to the bank. I hope I'm wrong but the whole event has got some expectation to live up to & I feel it may fall short.
Froch is rarely in a **** fight. Groves wants to prove himself. Recipe for great return Froch Kessler 2 was better and this will be too.
I was thinking about this last night. I came to the conclusion that George had his biggest opportunity to beat Carl the first time round. I get the feeling this time that Carl is going to come out strong and smother him from the get go with the awareness of NOT to walk onto his shots!.......
It almost certainly wont be as good as people are hyping, but these things rarely are, its the unexpected smaller fights that are usually the best... No matter what happens alot of people are going home disappointed, the froch and groves fans are so tribal that unless their man wins they will think of it as a **** fight etc I am looking forward to it for what it is, rather than what the hype is saying it could be.
No I actually think it's going to be better than the first fight. I love having big domestic fight like this, especially when both boxers hate each other.
If there's a **** undercard and let's face it Eddie has no motivation to spend extra money on the promotion now he has sold all the tickets then it could be a poor event for a hardcore boxing fan. In saying that a lot of people going to this event aren't interested in the undercard and won't watch it if they can have a drink in their hand somewhere. PPV will sell on the headline fight as well. I can only see disappointment if the fight ends in under 3 rounds. People are spending a lot of money and will want to see a decent scrap. One way or the other Eddie has his money in the bank.
Stop being so pessimistic, it's going to be a cracking fight with an atmos that will be absolutely bouncing. Enjoy it, they don't come round that often. And absolutely anything can happen in the fight, one of them could get banged out in the first round, that's boxing for ya. **** happens.
I am looking forward to it. I predicted Groves to win the first fight because he is a better technical boxer puncher. Froch is what he is. Groves is already winding him up in the build up hence Froch shoving him. What is the story with Froch's brother Lee? I saw clips of the press conference on youtube.
No way will it be an anti climax. Unless Froch's chin goes overnight, this should be another belter. If anything, I reckon it'll be a better fight as I predict Froch will adjust better.
i already did. froch will be more cautious, and i'd be surprised if gg didn't try to conserve some energy for the later rounds.
