Woop woop

Rios isn't anything special, I fully expect a simple night for Manny. Also see Froch winning but it going the distance. Should be a good night of boxing anyway!

Froch is 1/4 to beat Groves
Pacquiao is 1/5 to beat Rios.

Pacquiao is only a slightly bigger favourite than Groves.

The bookies have no agenda.

Rios is just as much as a live dog as Groves

Rios is a bit of a walking punchbag, but he's got good heart, good chin and hits hard. I think Manny will stop him late on, but I think Manny took this fight to prove that he can still take big shots and his chin is still there.

Same could be said about Jake La Motta and he beat SRR

Rios and Groves are both good but as of yet nothing makes me think we will see an upset tonight. Still the best thing about boxing is that one punch can change everything.

Froch vs Groves is 50/50 imo, Froch will probably edge it on points though

Yes the smart money is on Pacquiao and Froch, but make
no mistake we have two fights tonight, not simply processions that need to be played out.

I see Froch as favourite. Nothing more, nothing less. I saw the Degale fight again yesterday and if Froch lands some of the shots Degale did it might be an early night for Groves.

Yet Rios is an ex world champ fighter higher quality that Groves, more experienced. And Pacquiao is coming of a KO loss and almost a year out of the ring.

But it is still Pacquiao taking the easier fight than Froch?

Maybe it shows how highly some people regard Pacquiao.

Agreed that they're not both certainties. Experience vs youth will be an interesting battle.

But Groves has improved since then.

Groves has to use his feet and tie Froch up in close, and some how win the battle of the jabs

I got money on Pacquiao and Froch, not a lot, if the people all claiming these are certainties they would put there house on these fighters. Free money.

But they won't because they there is a chance the other guy can cause an upset.

You're right he has improved but Carl Froch is no James Degale. How much has Groves improved is the question.

Not enough in my opinion, and this is his first time on the big stage with a world class fighter.

But just watching the Benn vs Eubank first bout, Eubank was untested too, Benn was was experience and fought better opposition, Benn had the power and the aggression, Eubank the more tactical boxer and got under Benn's skin.


Sound familiar?


Still think Froch got this though

It couldn't happen again could it... Could it?! Just give me a beer and a decent fight and I'm happy haha.

Good clash of styles in both fights, should be a great night of boxing, whoever the winner.

Rocky Fielding just won in the first round knocking out blackledge. Decent left hook. Blackledge was on the floor for a while but he's on his feet now.

Damn, I had Fielding to win in rounds 4-6.
