    Fair play mate. Despite the knobend he latterly morphed into, I still love Froch and his belligerence as a fighter. His bouts against Taylor, Bute, both Kessler fights and the first Groves one were absolutely mint. No shame in being outsmarted by Ward either. Granite chinned bastard haha.

    Edit, never get tired of the end of the Taylor fight

    To quote Rob McCracken 'he's ******* hard, Froch'

    Never seen a chin quite like Froch had. If Groves hits Jr with some of the punches Froch took you’d think he wouldn’t be getting up of the canvas.

    The Taylor stoppage was unreal.

    Yeah, outrageous chin. Glad he retired when he did really, could have ended up with some serious health problems otherwise.

    The super six with Froch, Kessler, Ward etc was a glimpse of how this sort of thing could be done but lost some of its momentum as it went on. Kalle Saurland has smashed this out of the park, it's so well organised.

    It's also been a godsend to Jnr and his IBO belt after his dad pissed off every promoter so much he was on the verge of becoming irrelevant.

    Went to the opener of the Super six when Froch beat Dirrell. It didn't start till about 2am despite being at the Trent arena due to the tournament being aired in America. Forest had played Newcastle in a televised evening game so by the time the fight came round there was thousands of very drunk and lairy Froch fans causing chaos around the arena. Was a terrible fight as well, I thought he'd lost it at the time.  Shame I didn't take a photo when the fighters were in the actual ring :laugh:

    Defo need more of these tourneys for sure.  Also ruffles up a few promoters who like to dictate 

    Yeah, it's almost felt weird having the build up to such a big fight without seeing Eddie Hearn's face everywhere.

    Nice to see pretty much every possible outcome predicted already, so rare it happens before fights. Really like this tournament format, stops any potential silliness from fighters trying to duck opponents, making silly demands etc.

    Also very excited for the fight, can't beat an evenly matched domestic fight like this. 

    Keep changing my mind but I'm going for Eubank on points. 

    Much prefer Groves but it's probably better for British boxing if Eubank wins,  although I'll l be cheering for Smith against either if he makes the final. 

    Edit - Eubank to win on a controversial split decision.
