Fight week!!! Froch poll and opinions!!!FIGHT THREAD. SPOILERS

[Seanusarrilius]

First topic message reminder :

I think there was another poll, but let's start a fresh!

Who wins?
How?
Entertainment factor?
Where do they go after?

Let me say this. Froch wins, TKO, in a war that matches the Hatton v Kosta bout for epicness.

War Froch! War Boxing! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

[Cast a Shadow]

What time does the Five Live programme start?

22:45 I think. Ring walks due 23:15.

Thanks mate - nice to have a plan B - Bellew take note!!

[Duty281]

Don't know much about Gonzalez, but he has a good record and an impressive KO percentage. Nevertheless, Groves can continue his 100% record and make it 2 out of 2 for England tonight.

[Cast a Shadow]

I've seen Noe Gonzalez a few times on KOTV, could pose more of a challenge than many are expecting.

Hi Union - was going to ask, is his big-punching for real, or being hyped up by the TV guys to make it sound competitive?

[hampo17]

Adonis Stevenson stopped him in two last year and the two guys he's fought since haven't been anything special.

[Steffan]

Well whsat did Bellew look like?

About 30 years old. 6 ft 2 in height. Tanned skin

[Union Cane]

Difficult to say, it's easy to look like a big puncher against dross, which is what he has mostly fought.

Anyone else think that Groves' style is identical to that of Haye?

[BallchinianMuffwig]

nothing against the journals and podcasts ozzy! But so often now its become such a big deal what this guy said about this guy on twitter, its become annoying how it is a part of everyday sporting/entertainment industry now.

Anyway don't want to go off on a tangent.

Groves next correct? I've never seen Gonzalez-Acona (spelling) before, so will boldly predict a 6/7 round stoppage for GG based on what I know of him! He's silly thinking he'd have a chance against the winner of the main event though.Maybe in another 12 months.

[Cast a Shadow]

Decent start for Groves, though it might be interesting if/when Gonzalez lands something meaningful.

[hampo17]

Very good first round for Groves, confussed Gonzalez with his movement.

10-9

[owen10ozzy]

Nope Union, I can see where coming from in terms of the way he throws punches...but he throws a lot more, doesn't mind getting on the inside and staying there and has a better engine I think.

Good first round...showed some good feints and found some good angles!

[Strongback]

Groves looked good in the first.


Kessler by points out to 5/1.

[bhb001]

I'm expecting a quick fight here

[Sugar Floyd Louis]

Can't believe most people aren't backing Kessler, I honestly think he will beat Froch convincingly!

[OasisBFC]

Groves looking fast and impressve that first round. perhaps gonzalez is feeling his way in

[Duty281]

Impressive opening 2 rounds for Groves.

[hampo17]

Groves wobbled him at the start of that round, if he forces him back he takes away everything Gonzalez has.

20-18

[Cast a Shadow]

Is Gonzalez here to win, or just for the cheque?

Very disappointed by his 'fight plan'.

[owen10ozzy]

Early but highly impressive from Groves, great angles and what I really like is when he has his opponents on the ropes but knows he isn't landing anything significant he doesn't just wade in...he steps off and looks for a fresh angle.

[azania]

Can't believe most people aren't backing Kessler, I honestly think he will beat Froch convincingly!

+1

[hampo17]

Another Groves round. Have to think he will start to shift through the gears now, I can see this ending the same way the Paul Smith fight did.

30-27

[Union Cane]

Gonzalez offering nothing, Groves should finish this inside 8.

[The Boss]

I have a few quid on Kessler on pts myself but that usually means the kiss of death so I apologise in advance for anyone else on it!

[Union Cane]

Can't believe most people aren't backing Kessler, I honestly think he will beat Froch convincingly!

-1

[Reborn-DeeMcK-Reborn]

[Sugar Floyd Louis]

Can't believe most people aren't backing Kessler, I honestly think he will beat Froch convincingly!

What are the current online odds for Froch-Kessler? I just made a killing in the Champions League and I think Kessler could make it sweeter

[Reborn-DeeMcK-Reborn]

Union im taking Kessler too, I think Froch is a bit too hyped up. Kessler looking cool and calm. If anyones gameplan is going to get threw out the window its Frochs and Kessler will stick to his and win on points. The only stoppage i see from Froch is if Kessler gets cut

Kessler is currently trading at 2/1.

[hampo17]

Groves just needs to keep his head here, took a few unneeded shots then.

40-36

[Union Cane]

Boom. Sit down.

[WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs]

There's the power

5th round stoppage from Groves, big right puts him down and ref waves it off as Gonzales looks groggy

[Reborn-DeeMcK-Reborn]

what a finish from George, what a shot

[Strongback]

I have a few quid on Kessler on pts myself but that usually means the kiss of death so I apologise in advance for anyone else on it!

By any chance did you put money on Chilemba?

[Duty281]

Wow, good shot. Lovely performance by Groves, I doubt that could have gone much better for him.

England 2-0 Johnny Foreigner

[hampo17]

Wow great shot. Said it would end similar to the Paul Smith fight.

[owen10ozzy]

Damn Gonzalez....early stoppage. Think he could have gone on....at least another 2 rounds for my predictions!

Good Performance by Groves, looking better with each fight. I wonder how many people still insist DeGale is the better of the two fighters....

[Steffan]

Can't believe most people aren't backing Kessler, I honestly think he will beat Froch convincingly!

Lets hope so fella

[Union Cane]

Union im taking Kessler too, I think Froch is a bit too hyped up. Kessler looking cool and calm. If anyones gameplan is going to get threw out the window its Frochs and Kessler will stick to his and win on points. The only stoppage i see from Froch is if Kessler gets cut

Kessler is too cool and calm, he won't know what has hit him. Froch wobbles him early, and stops him late.

[bhb001]

Both my wild cards came in then. Happy lad here

[OasisBFC]

think gonzales could have gone on but it was the beginning of the end.

[kingraf]

Thanks Freek. Not big enough. Gonna quit while Im ahead, buy my White tyres and look for more rewarding odds with which to buy by black rims.

[Strongback]

Gonzalez looked happy enough to be out of there.

Bad looking baseball hat on Groves.

[The Boss]

I have a few quid on Kessler on pts myself but that usually means the kiss of death so I apologise in advance for anyone else on it!

By any chance did you put money on Chilemba?

No, mate, never even seen it. Had a draw in the champions league and recent form indicates more lost money. The draw at 20/1 tonight was tempting for the fight too!

[Union Cane]

An hour until the main event, anyone know who the fillers are?

[kingraf]

Thanks Freek. Not big enough. Gonna quit while Im ahead, buy my White tyres and look for more rewarding odds with which to buy my black rims.

[Cast a Shadow]

Anyone else think Groves could take Stieglitz if they fought?

[Sugar Floyd Louis]

Can't believe most people aren't backing Kessler, I honestly think he will beat Froch convincingly!

Lets hope so fella

A lot of people are expecting a repeat of Froch-Bute, just won't happen. I'm looking forward to Froch's excuses

[Steffan]

Everytime Froch fights his fans say he is gonna knock the other guy out so im used to it by now. Last time he fought Kessler it was gonna be a late stoppage etc. they just like to delude themselves

[John Bloody Wayne]

Sweet stuff from Groves, although judging from 'ref cam' the man's eyes were clear and he shouldve been given a chance. If it were the other way around I think GG wouldve been given the chance.
