Does George Groves have much of a chance against Froch?

No

Big bust up between Freddie Roach and the Rios camp :smiley:

Alex Ariza is a horrible cunt,what was the story here? Rios crowd hogging the gym all day?

I think they had to do an interview earlier and that took 20-30 minutes out of their training time. They were running into Pacquiao’s time then which is what brought Roach over to them. Ariza’s a dirtbag. Still pretty funny though. Love when they cut to Rios and he’s just working away on the elliptical :smiley:

Who was that pussy mocking Roach? He stood well back and waited till he was gone. Pretty classless cunts.

Travelers go well in recessions, he’ll not need boxing

Fury’s not going to retire.

Roach seems to be in pretty bad shape, has his Parkinsons got much worse over the last couple of years?

What time (Irish) will the Pacquaio fight start at?

Andy Lee is on the undercard of Froch-Groves tomorrow night after Murray had to pull out. Good to see him back in the limelight again.

Does anyone know much about Groves trainer Paddy Fitzpatrick? An Irish buck based in Swindon, comes across as cool as mustard

Last episode of Pacquiao-Rios 24/7. Pretty damn good - http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k4d016ZuTSE9Zn4Wq4E

Don’t know much about him but I saw this interview with him earlier in the week and he comes across well. Seems to be a pretty cool cat alright.

Really struggling to pick a winner here. Boxer always struggle after massive knock outs but Pac is simply a better and more skilled boxer. If his head is truly right he should win. Another thing to consider is his head in regards to the Typhoon and it’s aftermath. It is bound to affect a man of his disposition.

Hard to know how the knockout will effect him, but Rios is certainly tailor made for Pacquiao. Unless his chin is permanently cracked and he can’t take shots at all, he should blitz Rios and look pretty good in the process.

Ya, I hope he destroys him. Rios is probably the best of a bad lot, but that stable as a group are just a bunch of jumped up uneducated scumbags. Garcia making ridiculous claims about them being the best in the world.

I’m still bemused by the kick from Ariza. what a pussy.

Funny seeing Roach walk up to a group of tatted up gang-bangers and telling the to get the fuck out of the gym :smiley:

Nothing fake about that dude. I think I might believe that story about him biting some guy’s eyeball out now.

As for the Garcia camp, it depends who you mean really. I wouldn’t say Mikey is a scumbag, he comes across well in any of the interviews I’ve seen with him. I think Robert is a snakey fuck though. Something dodgy about him.

Rios is dumb as a rock and would certainly be dead if it wasn’t for boxing. He’s not all bad though. He does great impressions.
