Is this true? George Groves? Tony Bellew? Who else has he sparred in the lead up to Kessler II? Is it just BS rumours put out by team Froch, or did the Froch fanboys start it? Is it to hide the real truth perhaps? Or is it in fact true?
Froch has sparred Groves in run up to this fight? where you hear that? I thought Groves had only sparred kessler in build up....
I know they have sparred. I don't know about in the lead up to this fight though. Thats why I'm asking. I heard Froch was trying to spar everyone. They offered DeGale, but he turned it down. (wise move from DeGale....maybe he is smarter than I thought?) I was always led to believe Groves jumped at the chance, and Froch could figure the youngsters out before possibly fighting them in the future. Gives him a one up. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if Froch did blast Groves out. Perhaps went easy on him though when they did? DeGale turned it down because he could see what they are trying to do. If Groves has been sparring Kessler, then perhaps that was a move on Matchroom's part? But I can't see Kessler letting a worm in like that, unless he destroyed him and sent a message back to Matchroom.
Froch has sparred Groves before and bashed him up.... Groves openly admitted it. DeGale was offered very good money to spar Froch, but decided not to. Why I've no idea - being paid for some world class sparring in a professional set up. He ought to be offering to spar Froch for free to get some good work in.
ok mate. In the past Froch put Groves down but he got back up and started sparring again. He wanted DeGale cos they thought he was similar to wards style but he turned it down or they couldnt make time for it ( cant remember which) This camp he has sparred Blackwell, Smyle and Smith. only three I know of so far.
Adrien Broner is fighting Paulie Malignaggi, rumour has it Errol Spence put that mother****er on his ass. Dunno if it was out cold. Amir Khan was forever getting put down. Conflicting rumours between Audley Harrison and Deontay Wilder when they sparred. Audley admitted that he got knocked down though. So its no surprise whether they are fighting or not if they get knocked down in sparring. It depends on the type of sparring. Amir Khan was involved in wars in the gym.
smith is quality , has been giving froch problems in sparring , don't know about rest, but he sparred groves a while ago and degale was offered a spar prior to the bute fight
I know DeGale was offered it and turned it down. I actually think thats quite smart of DeGale. Forget the money. Froch would get to see first hand what these fighters have got before possible fights. Thats what he is doing. Either that or getting friendly with them to prevent such fights. If DeGale thinks he can beat Froch, why would you go and show him all your tricks? I personally dont know why Groves took up the offer. That shows the mentality. If that is a fight in the pipeline, Groves has just given Froch all the answers. I personally think Froch would destroy Groves anyway. Even more so now.
Who the **** goes trying to knock people over in sparring? Sparring is meant to have a significant risk reduction and be sort of customary. Never even used 60% power in sparring. Egotistical and pretentious IMO, it it is even true. No wonder DeGale didn't want it, although I think DeGale would school Froch in a proper boxing match.
callum smith i presume. wouldnt read to much into froch groves spar storys.they have not to bets of my knolwedge sparred for over two years.george has come on leaps and bounds since since. degale obviously would be the wrong type of sparring for froch for this fight.
Serious. Froch probably stops Groves, Groves frustrates and beats DeGale and DeGale out skills Froch.
Them convincing performances against Hadillah Mohoumadi and Piotr Wilczewski must have swayed you. There is no doubt Froch would absolutely steam roll through Degale.
