Ok Froch achieved but he fought with his face which was lucky for him having the hardest chin but boxing finesse he was short of.But Groves really shook him in the first fight
actually that was probably the one thing Froch said that the crowd gathered laughed at George with him; and the fact it was the last thing may have stayed in the mind of a weaker person. Man, this rivalry was real
Carl actually rattled him a bit there ohhhhhhhhhhh lord. George has been so calm and collected through the whole build up until this point. Cant fkin wait.
Froch pulled it back with the mind games on that 1, he needed to do something after everything groves has said. Think it was fight or flight for groves at the end though he needs to control those nerves
I really like froch ... And like groves since the de gale fight . But I think it's froch that's being so disrespectful here . Now I want groves to win . I hate all those personnel digs at groves when he's such a nice fella ... Come on groves
Fucking Love Froch! He scared the shit out of Groves there, Gorves looked petrified and could barely talk when they are face to face! He knows he is in Trouble, the way he got pissed off at the end shows it.
Say what you will about Groves fact is he has a style that could cause Froch all sorts of problems can't wait for this fight! Good luck to both fighters
I so desperately hope Groves stretches Froch out! Carl's ego is out of control, he gets so butthurt at the slightest sign of "disrespect"! I honestly think that Carl expects anyone who fights him to say: "Oh well I'm not nearly as good as him but I'm gonna give it a go! I expect to lose but oh well, I'll go down swinging!"
Froch, while having achieved great things, has indeed just turned into a colossal walking ego in both his public and private life - I have this on account of Eddie Hearn's pressman who's good mates with the man himself. Good god I want this to be a passing of the torch type fight but sadly I can't see Groves, with the challenge of changing both trainers and gym, beating Carl but I'll be rooting for the saint all the same.
Froch bad mouthed Groves before the fight was even announced, throwing an absolute hissy fit when george sparred with Kessler, a move that any prospect would make if looking to further their career. George has acknowledged Carl's achievements short of erecting a grecian statue of the man himself slaying a hydra, with the heads of bute, taylor and pascal, in his living room which seems to be the only gesture of "respect" worthy of satisfying the cobras city sized ego these days. Groves has also had the audacity to point out several of Froch's glaring flaws, unashamedly (how dare he?!) saying that he's gonna take advantage of them. While this fury on Froch's part may just be to sell the fight it doesn't half make him look like a tit and make some people, myself including, slightly more inclined to support Groves come fight night. That, my boy, is where I'm coming from.
I think Froch has done some damage control here from ringside. Holy crap these two are fighting and it's me shaking in my boots. Although if I got offered £1.5M (or any of us) I'd get in the ring with both of them together LOL.
Groves has got to him but it doesnt mean he will win, it only means Froch will be more determined. Groves looked a bit shaky here especially at the end. Froch will win by late stoppage, Groves will take some punishment but he will get back up, and the referee will stop the fight.
The one thing you can be sure of, Groves won't frighten Carl Froch. I think it will be his vast experience against the very best that will give Froch a stoppage around the 8th round.
this is more like it, i have seen Carl's whole dominour change he is now up for this its took him a while but i think his nerves have settled and he realise's what he has to do may the best man win
+danty362 yeah we all do, early stoppage or not Carl was coming on top at that point. Day one of amateur boxing you are told, if it starts to come on top and you are taking punishment, don't look like you dont wanna be there or the ref is stepping in. Groves didn't wanna be in there towards the win and he gave the ref a decision to make. Second fight he got iced.
I like both of these boys and I dont want either to lose but on Saturday I hope Froch wins by TKO round 8 as I dont like the bad mouthing Groves come up with (although I know its just to sell PPV) but who knows who will win - just makes for a great Saturday nights TV - good luck and a safe outcome to both its only all hype and entertainment.
All that hard work Groves put in to try and get a mental edge over Froch was completely erased in those last few minutes. In fact there were moments where it was obvious that Froch had shit right up.
Why do they hate each other so much? I understand that boxers do all the media bollocks....but i think they are far beyond that?? I'm supporting George :-D
***** In any social interaction there's always one person reacting more to the other person. Whoever reacts more has the weaker sense of reality. Froch is unraveling in front of us, mark my words. Groves will take him apart on Sat!
BifurPoint What are you some kind of psychologist,get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.The sense of reality is that Carl Froch has been in there and beaten fighters twice as good as George Groves and you think he's rattled.Do me a favour don't delete this comment I want to come back and mock you after Carl lays him out.
***** For the record I'm a fan of both fighters but I know boxing and after weighing everything up I think Groves will win! See you back here in the early hours of Sunday morning, I look forward to it :)
You know your boxing? Yet you are judging the out come of a fight by the way they are acting at the final press conference. Good on ya,you sure know your shit. See you sunday.
If, and I think I really mean when froch loses control in the fight it wont help groves. He simply doesn't have the power or chin to cope with froch. Still I said something similar about the degale fight and I couldn't have been more wrong then!!
I rate Groves just think he has took this fight 2early in his career he looks nervous, Frock is at his peak cant see anything other than Froch winning by K.O
Eubank and Benn was a great rivalry but this was brilliant and got me watching boxing again. It took nearly 3 years for Benn and Eubank to get a rematch together but these 2 was sorted in about 6 months.
Seriously hope Froch comes a cropper on Saturday. Kid needs bringing down a peg or two. Humbling a little. I was a fan in his early days, before anyone knew him and he was on Howard Eastman undercards...but he has definitely changed for the worse. Needs to look at how Paquiou conducts himself.
Reminds me very much of Hatton vs Mayweather weigh in, where Hatton was making threats, getting in floyds face, screaming to his fans on the Mic... Floyd just stood there not really saying much..... I remember on the forums reading "Floyd is scared, he looks rattled, he's getting knocked out". Let me tell you, Froch is already emotionally invested in the fight, which is EXACTLY where groves wants him.
The difference was Floyd didn't look scared, and Hatton was doing it with all the energy with the fans there. No fans at this one, and Groves lost it at the end, Froch made him look and feel like a boy, whereas hatton was just loud and aggresive with mayweather and didn't really get to him. See where you are coming from though. But you can't compare Groves and mayweather.
livertigersfan not comparing them in styles, but it's pretty clear Froch is rattled, what groves wants is a crazy froch to get angry and bull-rush him and run onto counters because thats what him and booth have been prepping for ever since they thought they might fight froch. And Froch is telling groves he wants a fight. Groves has got to him, no doubt.
Hmm he has got to him but i don't think it will have that effect, it'll motivate him to train harder, and be more calculated in the ring, Carl will want to beat him at his own game as well and outbox him. Hatton was less experienced in terms of numbers of top names than carl, and that was hatton's first fight with a pound for pound star, Froch has already had his. Carl will beat him. I think the head to head undid alot of Groves's work.
froch clearly won the head to head. we all know groves aint going to go toe to toe, hes going to be on his bike for 12 rounds. one thing people dont realise is that froch has the longer reach and groves cant fight on the inside
if george had any sort of chat he could have tipped carl over the edge there. but he doesn't. he seems like a schoolboy stood next to froch. he is WAY too quiet and respectful.
LOL, people buying into the froch hype big time, like he's some indestructible 1 punch knockout machine...lawd...Smart boxing fans, lump on a groves win, Jermaine Taylor came up from 160 after being knocked out in 2 or 3 by Pavlik and dropped and schooled froch before getting stopped in the final round a mile ahead on the card.
dont get me wrong froch is hard as nails but he struggled against ward and dirrell fighters that are fast and slick groves is technically sound and tricky can see froch missing a lot of shots becoming frustrated
You're mentioning two elite fighters. Ward has never, ever lost, and Dirrell's only loss was to Froch. Dirrell is much, must faster than Groves and fights completely differently. George is a decent fighter and has an OK defense, but he isn't an illusive and fast-footed guy like Dirrell. I like Groves, but I don't see him pulling this off.
And we all know what happened in round 1 hahahaa i know he won the war but great fight the first one froch got smashed up for 5 or 6 and then started catching a tiring groves who boxed lovely watched this first one about ten times good shit two men standing toe to toe
I don't see how this is any more a fight than against Mack, Carl is by far and away number 2 in this division only second behind Andre 'sog' ward the #2 p4p and unbeaten best in the world, george is talented and could have a great future but he certainly isn't elite level he has fought against only one fighter inside the top 20 infact 3 of his last 6 were against fighters outside the top 50 froch spars as standard with higher level fighters froch has 2 much George is in my opinion getting this fight two early the simple fact is Carl is the first live opponent George has faced, Carl said already at some point George is gonna find himself on the ropes and when that happens.... Froch will finish this fight inside the distance
froch doesnt look very relaxed here. he looks uncomfortable in his own skin around groves and if body language told the fight i'd say it doesnt look good for carl froch. but it doesnt tell the fight
I think people forget how good this was. The rebuilding of British boxing
Ok Froch achieved but he fought with his face which was lucky for him having the hardest chin but boxing finesse he was short of.But Groves really shook him in the first fight
That pink salmon trousers shot by Froch was priceless...it rendered Groves speechless.🤣🤣🤣
Froch on form in this clip, cracking me up haha!!!
Pink salmon trousers at the end killed it !!!!
lol yer it did
actually that was probably the one thing Froch said that the crowd gathered laughed at George with him; and the fact it was the last thing may have stayed in the mind of a weaker person. Man, this rivalry was real
I thought they were alright
"Let's have a fight round one.." Hahaha these are so funny watching them back after the fight.
Pure brilliant.When Carl looks at him when he's putting the belts on. Classic!
What's with them pink salmon trousers anyway.. lmfao..
Groves did a good impression of a rabbit caught in some headlights there. More of the same on Saturday please George!
Haven’t had many better build ups in boxing than this. I enjoyed every second of every broadcast along with this fight.
Carl actually rattled him a bit there ohhhhhhhhhhh lord. George has been so calm and collected through the whole build up until this point. Cant fkin wait.
Ooooo I think Carl got the edge at the end there with the trouser comment
Can't wait for this.
Black suit jacket with pink salmon trousers! What a combination 😄
Froch pulled it back with the mind games on that 1, he needed to do something after everything groves has said. Think it was fight or flight for groves at the end though he needs to control those nerves
ooooh im bloody excited for this
3:33 Lol "Lets have a fight Round 1" yeah, that went well for Carl didn't it.
who got the last laugh though
He won both the fights you plum lol
I seem to remember that George was spread out on the canvas like a puppet that lost it’s strings
Nice one IFL!!.... This is getting seriously tasty! Can't f*cking wait!!! Have it!!!
Ooooooooh I can't wait!
Could watch froch all day even his fights
GROVES!! Was not scared he was calm and composed carl on the other had was raising his voice and becoming lost for words
I really like froch ... And like groves since the de gale fight . But I think it's froch that's being so disrespectful here . Now I want groves to win . I hate all those personnel digs at groves when he's such a nice fella ... Come on groves
How'd that turn out?
Cant wait
Fucking Love Froch! He scared the shit out of Groves there, Gorves looked petrified and could barely talk when they are face to face! He knows he is in Trouble, the way he got pissed off at the end shows it.
Froch got smashed bro , groves got robbed bro
@@josephclelland6196No way you responded to a 10 year old comment
“What’s with the pink salmon trousers aswell?” 😂😂😂
"are you gonna stand there and have a fight in round 1?"....oh dear Frochy lol
CANNOT WAIT HEADING TO MANCHESTER THIS AFTERNOON!
Say what you will about Groves fact is he has a style that could cause Froch all sorts of problems can't wait for this fight! Good luck to both fighters
Love how George goes gangster at the end lol
I so desperately hope Groves stretches Froch out! Carl's ego is out of control, he gets so butthurt at the slightest sign of "disrespect"!
I honestly think that Carl expects anyone who fights him to say: "Oh well I'm not nearly as good as him but I'm gonna give it a go! I expect to lose but oh well, I'll go down swinging!"
Froch, while having achieved great things, has indeed just turned into a colossal walking ego in both his public and private life - I have this on account of Eddie Hearn's pressman who's good mates with the man himself. Good god I want this to be a passing of the torch type fight but sadly I can't see Groves, with the challenge of changing both trainers and gym, beating Carl but I'll be rooting for the saint all the same.
hes upselling a pay per view fight as its his job. He gave and received respect from kessler and ward so no I dont really know where your coming from.
Froch bad mouthed Groves before the fight was even announced, throwing an absolute hissy fit when george sparred with Kessler, a move that any prospect would make if looking to further their career. George has acknowledged Carl's achievements short of erecting a grecian statue of the man himself slaying a hydra, with the heads of bute, taylor and pascal, in his living room which seems to be the only gesture of "respect" worthy of satisfying the cobras city sized ego these days. Groves has also had the audacity to point out several of Froch's glaring flaws, unashamedly (how dare he?!) saying that he's gonna take advantage of them. While this fury on Froch's part may just be to sell the fight it doesn't half make him look like a tit and make some people, myself including, slightly more inclined to support Groves come fight night. That, my boy, is where I'm coming from.
I know what you mean but froch will ko groves in the first 5 rounds
What’s with the pink salmon trousers😂😂😂😂
Mr frochie froch.. got me laughing loud at work your nearly getting me the sack..
I think Froch has done some damage control here from ringside. Holy crap these two are fighting and it's me shaking in my boots. Although if I got offered £1.5M (or any of us) I'd get in the ring with both of them together LOL.
are they each getting payed 1,5 m ?
Boxingisthebomb I think Froch is. Groves wont be on anywhere near that though, im sure of it.
I'd get in the ring with either of them for 20 grand lol
Boxingisthebomb
No. Froch is getting £1.5M and Groves it getting £500,000 (inc approx ppv renevue).
Raikkonen .Fan
LOL cheapskate.
George doesn't look like a boxer, he looks like he works at barclays bank
Groves has got to him but it doesnt mean he will win, it only means Froch will be more determined. Groves looked a bit shaky here especially at the end. Froch will win by late stoppage, Groves will take some punishment but he will get back up, and the referee will stop the fight.

this is more like it, i have seen Carl's whole dominour change he is now up for this its took him a while but i think his nerves have settled and he realise's what he has to do may the best man win
This is the point when groves actually realises he's in too deep! He looks crushed at the end!! Froch mentally won at this point!!
You do remember what happened in the first fight don't you?
+danty362 yeah we all do, early stoppage or not Carl was coming on top at that point. Day one of amateur boxing you are told, if it starts to come on top and you are taking punishment, don't look like you dont wanna be there or the ref is stepping in. Groves didn't wanna be in there towards the win and he gave the ref a decision to make. Second fight he got iced.
err froch won bro. @@danty362
Froch is a legend. Proper nails and down to earth fella.
About as down to earth as a satellite🤣
Intense!
Groves looked worried, like he was about to cry.
I like both of these boys and I dont want either to lose but on Saturday I hope Froch wins by TKO round 8 as I dont like the bad mouthing Groves come up with (although I know its just to sell PPV) but who knows who will win - just makes for a great Saturday nights TV - good luck and a safe outcome to both its only all hype and entertainment.
Why do the photographs need a million pictures?
Froch is flash dancing.
In the press conference little Groves' voice was ah'tremblin.
"whats with the pink salmon trousers" BATTLE WON!
Groves had the eye of the tiger 😂
"...and what's with the pink salmon trousers as well..."
Heated?
Absolutely smashed here in every department lol
This one goes to Carl Froch !!
0.40 ge
Groves trying to make his hair look thicker
Disappointed by Groves in this head to head he was not as vocal as before or on ringside, Froch is clearly sounding the more confident right now
Groves has turned up in a fruneral suit hes going to need it.
Froch is a lot easier to hit than Degale so I see Groves landing often with power on Froch.
Groves: "You insult my trousers, and you insult me personally mate. My mum ironed them specially, as well..."
All that hard work Groves put in to try and get a mental edge over Froch was completely erased in those last few minutes.
In fact there were moments where it was obvious that Froch had shit right up.
HEATED.
Quality head to head ! Cant wait for this one !@charlie_whitman
Froch rattled him at the end, groves was ready to hit him!
It should be noted that George Groves nervous flatulents sound remarkably like camera flashes.
4:27 Groves questioning his entire press game
Wow, Groves looked like a scared child. I though George has had the upper hand in the build up until this point, Froch mid rounds stoppage
I was hoping for a special appearance from Adam Booth lol, still think he'll be in his corner on saturday night
I so hope Groves wins this, but it's unlikely.
Froch is still the champion ... what a warrior.. so proud of him
The real undisputed champ was Andrew ward he made Carl look like a b level fighter only show how great ward was
Why do they hate each other so much? I understand that boxers do all the media bollocks....but i think they are far beyond that??
I'm supporting George :-D
I love my job...lolllllllllll.....i like it Frochy
For a champion how wound up is froch, groves looked calm nothing to lose. and really froch with the childish bad breath comments.
Groves has got to him! Never seen Froch as rattled as this, I think Groves is gonna do him!!
Rattled,he looked supremely confident to me.
Are you blind or something.
***** In any social interaction there's always one person reacting more to the other person. Whoever reacts more has the weaker sense of reality.
Froch is unraveling in front of us, mark my words.
Groves will take him apart on Sat!

You know your boxing?
Yet you are judging the out come of a fight by the way they are acting at the final press conference.
Good on ya,you sure know your shit.
See you sunday.
Froch did the right thing in hiring a sports psychologist after this fight, he was properly unnerved by Groves and worked to fix it
If, and I think I really mean when froch loses control in the fight it wont help groves. He simply doesn't have the power or chin to cope with froch. Still I said something similar about the degale fight and I couldn't have been more wrong then!!
"you're getting flattered".. 😏
I rate Groves just think he has took this fight 2early in his career he looks nervous, Frock is at his peak cant see anything other than Froch winning by K.O
pink salmon trousers!!!!!! lolllllllllllll
Two of the best of British, and two great fights, but I didn’t like it at the time, as it was two of my favourite fighters.
I don't think I have ever seen anyone hate each other as much as these two.
Eubank and Benn was a great rivalry but this was brilliant and got me watching boxing again. It took nearly 3 years for Benn and Eubank to get a rematch together but these 2 was sorted in about 6 months.

Funny how Froch is in the trap of mimicking DeGale's reaction to Groves. Just as dumb too. Groves is smarter than people think.
Froch absolutely wrecked him pre fight. During. And after lol
Gloves are off.. "you wanna have a push and pull"" hahaha
Reminds me very much of Hatton vs Mayweather weigh in, where Hatton was making threats, getting in floyds face, screaming to his fans on the Mic...
Floyd just stood there not really saying much.....

never compare maywetaher with Grives dude!!

Go on Groves lad.
Carl froth is a legend hahaha
froch clearly won the head to head.
we all know groves aint going to go toe to toe, hes going to be on his bike for 12 rounds.
one thing people dont realise is that froch has the longer reach and groves cant fight on the inside
icemankilik hahahahaha how wrong you were
Horrible prediction complete opposite happened loolllll
if george had any sort of chat he could have tipped carl over the edge there. but he doesn't. he seems like a schoolboy stood next to froch. he is WAY too quiet and respectful.
Man Carl just shit alover him there,Groves tried to get all loud at the end and ran for the hills.Froch is gonna hammer this kid,man against boy.
nothing wrong with pink salmon trousers!
we can all pull abaat
LOL, people buying into the froch hype big time, like he's some indestructible 1 punch knockout machine...lawd...Smart boxing fans, lump on a groves win, Jermaine Taylor came up from 160 after being knocked out in 2 or 3 by Pavlik and dropped and schooled froch before getting stopped in the final round a mile ahead on the card.
You're neglecting a lot of facts there but fair enough.
dont get me wrong froch is hard as nails but he struggled against ward and dirrell fighters that are fast and slick groves is technically sound and tricky can see froch missing a lot of shots becoming frustrated
You're mentioning two elite fighters. Ward has never, ever lost, and Dirrell's only loss was to Froch. Dirrell is much, must faster than Groves and fights completely differently. George is a decent fighter and has an OK defense, but he isn't an illusive and fast-footed guy like Dirrell. I like Groves, but I don't see him pulling this off.
I really think Froch is scared. His asshole was doing somersaults there. Groves was composed although he'll still do well to beat Froch.
And we all know what happened in round 1 hahahaa i know he won the war but great fight the first one froch got smashed up for 5 or 6 and then started catching a tiring groves who boxed lovely watched this first one about ten times good shit two men standing toe to toe
Groves standing there intimidated like a 12 yr old hahhahaha hilarious
Carl froch is a bellend
I think Froch won that round of verbal sparring
was carl froch drunk ?
3:28 you know what I’m abaat
I don't see how this is any more a fight than against Mack, Carl is by far and away number 2 in this division only second behind Andre 'sog' ward the #2 p4p and unbeaten best in the world, george is talented and could have a great future but he certainly isn't elite level he has fought against only one fighter inside the top 20 infact 3 of his last 6 were against fighters outside the top 50 froch spars as standard with higher level fighters froch has 2 much George is in my opinion getting this fight two early the simple fact is Carl is the first live opponent George has faced, Carl said already at some point George is gonna find himself on the ropes and when that happens.... Froch will finish this fight inside the distance
Funny how Froch owns lots of belt but his trousers are always falling down.
froch doesnt look very relaxed here. he looks uncomfortable in his own skin around groves and if body language told the fight i'd say it doesnt look good for carl froch. but it doesnt tell the fight
