    Totally agree mate. I can't bare it...

    It has sadly as you say gone down the pot. TBH it's not the only forum i've basically consigned myself to posting here in a hope it will get better.

    Still some good posters and good talk but like the other forums you get some repetitive threads and some hateful posters who seem intent on driving their agenda down the throats of the other people.

    yep, me and the haggis muncher seen this coming didnt we?

    Groves needs to get a promoter sorted asap or this could go very horribly wrong for him... he was in a strong position with massive support and in 1 paragraph of a statement he has been well and truely put on the back foot...

    which ironically is exactly where he should have been after round 8 of the first fight

    SERIOUS QUESTION. The Froch-Groves rematch has been ordered by the IBF.

    It's all about if Froch wants the fight now or is he a DUCKER? :deal

    Very true :deal

    We will see his true colours now. However iv got feeling they somehow knew the IBF would order the rematch, so they offered Groves the rematch a day early to save face maybe

    The opening posts claiming GG went off crying to the IBF in despair look pretty pathetic now.

    Still we will now see whether Carl really wants this fight. May the better fighter win. Will be looking forward to this one.

    A lot of people didn't blame Froch for the stoppage though,it was his post fight behaviour that turned things sour

    I hope you're right,but if so I don't want it to be Groves next fight.Id like him to fight at least once before that,against a Fairly decent opponent,and give himself as good a chance as he can.I don't buy it about it being easy.If he fancies waiting till September he should take a look at what happened to Tyson Fury this year.

    If Froch vacates he's a ducker, if he takes the rematch he's not ducking.

    It's as simple as that thanks to the IBF.

    Could somebody who knows the business side a little more than me please explain this situation. The Ibf have ordered the re match froch accepts and match room offer groves the minimum 25% and he turns it down. What happens? Is froch stripped? Or would the Ibf say to groves you accept or nothing?
