I'll be there the day before for England Vs Peru but I didn't get a ticket for the boxing. Will probably just watch in the pub

When is it due to start?

The money has come in for Groves so Froch is at his longest price he's been. The bookies (who know boxing) originally priced him at 1/2, idiot cockneys (who don't know boxing) have steamed into Groves.

Carl can now be backed at 8/11 in a few places. This, for me, is a not-to-be-missed price.

He'll almost certainly knock Groves out. Initially I thought it would be in the later rounds but I can't see any reason why it won't be in the first 6.

I Fancy froch to win by ko, i dont like either fighter but i would prefer froch over groves. wouldnt bother me if groves won though because degale (if he wins) v groves II would be great

Crazy price, but an even better one is for the Froch KO/TKO - 11/8.

I think degale v groves II will happen anyway as i expect Degale to beat Froch should that fight be mandated.

At that point Degale could (perfectly understandably) refuse to fight Groves but I think revenge will be on his mind.

Degale's fight is no easy nights work on the undercard, I hope he comes through as it hots the domestic scene up, with callum smith joining the party in the next couple of years

@ijjysmith surely this is a job for you.

groves being a tit and getting embarrassed, I really hope the ginger weapon gets smashed, it could really go either way, but I think he has to stop carl early or win the first 7 rounds without question, because the kid cannot do 12 tough rounds

Degale to beat Froch? i would in no way expect this. Two entirely different levels of fighter imo.

I've seen the Degale/Groves a fight a few times now and quite honestly Degale won it comfortably. He's improved a lot since then as well. We'll find out more when he fights Gonzalez.

Had degale up by 2 rounds, watch how groves fades in that fight as well, Gonzalez is no mug though
