no you massive dope, my comment you quoted was about Froch struggling against boxers and Groves being a bad stylistic match-up for him, which is 100% correct.

So although I got that prediction wrong, that's not relevant the the post I directly responded to. But you seem a bit simple so I don't expect you to understand

Froch looks like he struggles against any boxer no matter what their style.. That's due to his open defence and the fact he allows himself to be tagged. He relies on his chin, that's no secret. So any opponent is stylistically a poor match up against him, as his style is so open and unorthodox. He eats punches to deliver them, no matter who the opponent is.. Where you got it wrong is that Groves was never good enough to avoid being hit in return. Hence why he was on his way to losing the first fight before the premature stoppage.

Froch was never in trouble that second fight.

Froch always struggles against boxers. He does well against flat-footed fighters who are there to be hit.

Groves was winning both fights. I think he would've definitely gone on to win the first one, he wasn't that badly hurt. The second one was weird, there was not enough action and I think that suited Groves, I thought the judge who had Groves 5-2 up was spot on, but that shot would've KO'd a horse.

Anyway, all of this is irrelevant. I admitted to getting the prediction wrong, my point is you just mentioned a couple of predictions I got wrong and pretended that somehow means I got lots of predictions wrong, which clearly isn't the case as my record proves...

Groves was spent in that first fight.

Anyhoo I'm off to my scratcher.. We'll see how your fine eye fares next week. G'night pal

he definitely wasn't spent lol, gtf outta here

anyway, g'night man

Predicting Groves to smash Froch was worse than predicting Brook to smash Porter. Froch's record poos all over Porter.

And Froch had fought a lot of guys with major stopping power, taken Groves best shot in the first fight and come back from it. It was a ludicrous prediction.

No, it's not. Groves had been in with DeGale, Glen Johnson (past it version) and was battering Froch in the first fight before the BS stoppage, so he was quite proven.

Brook's best win is against Senchenko's dead body...

I didn't actually predict Groves to stop Froch, I just said he'd get battered like the first fight. I was wrong, it is what it is. My predicting record is proven to be class

Even a blind squirrell finds a few nuts sometimes....

'sometimes' being the keyword

What do we reckon boys?

I keep flip flopping between Porter Ko Brook very early on or..Brook taking it to a late decision..

Just asked admin to bump this thread. We can make this the fight night thread.

Porter gotta be juicing.. That's why I think he might just go for the kill against Brook.

Yeah I need to catch up on the press conferences and videos to be honest. Havent had time yet. Need to do my fantasy team as well

Is brook flat footed? Does he move around much.. In fact do either of them move around the ring much?

Brook has good footwork. He isn't a dancer, but he has a ood sense of when to move. He maintains a strong base as he moves, which enables him to counter with power. He is rarely off balance.

Regarding promotion, Brook is way too relaxed, he doesn't engage in hype building trash talk. Fine if you dominate in the ring, but I suspect he might get stopped early.

Porter is tough, but he isnt special. It's just hard to pick Brook as he is completely unknown at this

this level

Yeah thats my thinking too but i have to say, im not a follower of porter much so i dont really know what he brings to the table either..

Porter is a monster, I don't see many beating him at 147

lol Porter was trying to be a bit flashy at the conference yesterday, but you can tell it really didn't come naturally to him. He's a good guy.

I've liked the way Brook has behaved in the build up to this fight and give him credit for finally stepping him, I used to dislike him because of his refusal to step up, regardless of how this fight goes, he now has me respect.

I really don't see the fight being competitive

Brook actually has the right style to cause Porter problems, but I don't think he's good enough in terms of level. He's got a good, sharp jab, but that's at domestic level, I don't think it's gonna be good enough to keep somebody like Porter off him.

He doesn't move his head and keeps his hands too low, Porter's going to throw some of those wild,leaping left hooks like there's no tomorrow if Brook doesn't earn his respect with some crisp jabs and some straight rights. I don't think Brook's a big puncher, but he has respectable, decent power.

All the best to Kell in this one, I'd love him to win but I just can't see it.

Brook to get shook in my book

Kamran getting nervous and slightly back-tracking already just face it Kam, Porter's gunna loseeeeeeeee, he's a loser like you
