First topic message reminder :

Massive night of boxing ahead. Whose in for the long haul and staying up for the Pacquiao vs Rios fight?

Rocky Fielding is up first on SBO at 6pm.

[horizontalhero]

Would love to see George stop him, just to hear Carl's excuses.

[SweetScience]

Cracking from groves

[hampo17]

Wow! Who saw that coming? He was gone there

[jimdig]

Holy shed!!! Haye wasn't talking poop!!!

[Fernando]

Froch down in round 1, never saw that coming

[Strongback]

Great start.

Didn't see the punch.

[Sir. badgerhands]

What the deuce!!!!!!

[Strongback]

Jim has groves on the brain.

[hampo17]

Froch looks scared to me, doesn't want to let his hands go because he gets hit by that right hand every time.

[jimdig]

Carl is screwed, he'll need another round or two to clear his head, if he can last that long.

[Rick James]

Me, check my posts.

I said Groves would KO Froch!!!!!!!!

[Fernando]

He's been played at his own game with the Jab

[Sir. badgerhands]

Frock has always been easy to tag but these shots seem to be hurting tonight.

[Strongback]

Slow start from Froch. Groves has quicker hands.

Froch will get into it more as the rounds go on.

[Sir. badgerhands]

Froch* bloody predictive text.

[Izzi]

feck me what a fight!

[horizontalhero]

Listening on the radio, hard to get an ideas of who won the last two rounds? Thoughts?

[Strongback]

Groves up by 4.

[Fernando]

2-1 Groves if Froch is lucky tbh Horizontal

[rob-glos]

Eddie Hearn looks a bit glum.

[SweetScience]

Frotch will find his way back

[Fernando]

Froch with the cheapshot after a break to Grove's eye

[Izzi]

can see Froch getting knocked out here. saying that i said Froch would win easily... so Froch probably knocks him out inside 10 seconds of the next round

[Lance]

awful ref. froch hitting on the break, back of the head and holding when hitting

4-1 to Groves, Froch making a lot of mistakes looking below average

[Strongback]

Thanks for the scores Strongy, appreciated.

These are my scores not from Sky.

[Strongback]

This really is in the trenches.

[Guest]

This really is in the trenches.

Warriors..

[Izzi]

Frochs gone, reckon they might pull him out if he doesn't get rendered unconscious

What a fight!!!!!!!!!

[hampo17]

Anyone know where Groves found this chin from?

[Fernando]

5-1 Groves

round 6 an absolute pounding from Groves + a good back and forth brawl in the middle

[Strongback]

Groves doesn't want to get cocky.

[Hammersmith harrier]

Froch is starting to shrug the right hands off Izzi so don't know why they would pull him out, await to proved wrong as he gets knocked out.

[Izzi]

Is Groves running out of steam a bit?

[Fernando]

inexperience could cost Groves if not careful

[milkyboy]

Groves 5 points up for me.

[Guest]

I can see a draw decision here. Should it go all the way.

[milkyboy]

Make that 6 points.

[Izzi]

I've just said exactly that on twitter, Groves will get robbed if it goes the distance.

[Strongback]

Froch is willing to take the right hand to land his own.

I see this going Froch's way from now on.

Groves does look puffed a bit as somebody above said.

[Fernando]

I can see a draw decision here. Should it go all the way.

Would just go into the boxing hall of fame for stupid decisions
