    Cheers Roe lad :)...

    Thats what time the 1st showing should be on IMO.

    Most people havnt even got in from work come 6pm never mind done anything else before the settee gets a crease.

    To be fair to Degale he doesn't have to spar Froch if he doesn't want to. It is his own prerogative

    He doesn't have to, but surely it is in his best interest to get in some experience sparring with a solid world class operator like Froch, especially when he's getting paid!

    I agree it would probably(certainly) be beneficial, but maybe Degale feels it would at this time

    So funny his little dig at Degale about not going up to Nottingham to spar him.

    'It's a shame, because it looks like he could have done with the work to be honest"

    :lol:

    Of course, this is true. But he probably shouldn't have let him wait two weeks before telling a world champion, and Britain's best fighter, to go down to him*

    I'm reminded of what Eubank said about Degale many years ago.

    He said all the money and hype will rob Degale of his hunger.

    What better chance to improve than to spar with world class Froch and Degale is turning it down. Hmmm...

    Since the beginning of time Froch has not known how to shadow box a jab, it is embarassing. Blocking a punch with his elbow is silly and he isn't good enough to do it. He'll do anything to back his half guard defence which he is awful at.

    Nevertheless, it was nice to see him reach out to DeGale and his people like mugs missed out on the opportunity for hard sparring. Probably mugs thinking they will be rivals soon. All it does is affect his development.

    Degale see Froch as Potential Oponent in the Future. Thats why he declined

    said that he offered to pay him to come up to Sheffield for two weeks and that he would have paid his travel expenses and put him up in digs but they said no. They wanted Froch to travel to London.

    Only reason he wanted DeGale was because he was a switch hitter with skills and not a lot of power.

    ps - what that jab all about during his shadow boxing? It was like a left cross!
