The ring was the smallest I've ever seen...smaller than Duran and Leonard's

    Did you only notice the size of the ring when the Froch Groves fight was on?

    I thought it looked small, but not the smallest I'd ever seen. It was noteworthy to me though.

    only if you are absolutely determined to diminish froch's achievement tonight.

    yep, i noticed that from the get go.

    it looked like a comedy ring that had been borrowed from Barbie or something. never in my life have i seen a smaller ring.

    irrelevant at this point. Froch waxed him - I thought Groves would win.

    Smaller rings should be the norm these days so boxers don't run

    Isn't it a matter of taste and preference? It can encourage wars, but it also can lead to phone booth boxing.

    Yes, the fight was in Frochs hometown, Froch ordered the Sanctioning organisations for a rematch, it was Froch shouting from the rooftops that hed been robbed of a victory in the first fight

    it was Froch who made all the stipulations for the fight with all his bitching and moaning.

    It was Froch who made the demands about the referees and judges

    It was Froch who mentioned that Howard Foster liked his Facebook status about Groves being knocked out

    It was Froch who had everything his way like a spoilt child.

    It was Froch who left himself open for that right hand and got KTFO

    :patsch
