Froch-GGG would do well at @theforum I think. But again, I don't think Froch is coming to US for dangerous fight to go to Inglewood. #boxing

Groves amazingly got up after his knee did a 180. How can people ever dog these guys. That right hand kills my entire TL

I hate that the loser has to sit on the steps and get cuckolded during the post-fight interview on the UK broadcasts.
