Good fight but very one sided for Ward, probably helped by his opponents struggle to make the weight and fined for. Ref was like Mike Dean, desperate to be star of the show. He was obsessed with calming them down and that 4th round drama was a joke, wasted ages. Great left hook from Ward in the 10th round, you could see Rodriguez head go side to side then up and down in a circle, proper brain damage shot there.

To be fair to him he did manage to stop the fight turning into a wrestling match, I'm completely on the side of referees who actually force these guys to fight. I'm pretty sure Edwin was trying to hurt Ward's shoulder in those grapples so it was important that this was stopped.

Ward was imperious; one of the most accurate jabs in the game, albeit not a particularly powerful puncher. I am so excited about next weekend, Froch and Pacman on one day!
 
He should retire.

I expect Fury to go on a twitter rant now.

Edit: @Tyson_Fury: I smell pussy is that u David I smell pussy is that u David ?? I smell pussy! I smell pussy!!@mrdavidhaye
 


I'm pretty sure the dick in the red T-Shirt who is mocking Roach's speech used to be with Roach.

Sharing a ring for training is very amateurish, surely they could've found another gym to train?
 
Tyson Fury pretending he's retired because he lost his payday. I guess it is Pantomime season!
 
How many more press conferences can Froch and Groves do, seriously. Same old crap every time and I am going to miss the fight anyway unless I can find somewhere showing it in Singapore at some ungodly hour.
 
going Froch v Groves on Saturday, And I hope Froch smashes him everywhere. I've never minded Groves but he is becoming very annoying lately.
 
So predictions for Groves vs Froch and Pacqiuao vs Rios??

Having watched them two with the slagging matches it is clear Froch has a real dislike for Groves who is arrogant/ disrespectful and dilluded, he talks as if what he is saying is fact but there is no substance to his drivel, will love it if RFroch does 'flatten him'


Here is the final installment of 24/7... bit of a scuffle between trainers and Ariza/ Garcia act like complete juveniles in the whole situation also making fun of Roach's Parkinson's disease. Roach has said pacqiauo is aware of the jibes about his condition and will serve an ass whoppin' on his behalf.


My prediction is Froch KO in the 8th and Pacqiuao TKO in the 6th.
 
Froch all the way. He will simply knock the shit out of Groves.
 
That Pac Vs Rios 24/7 gets crazy near the end!

Shame that its gonna be very one sided.

Probably, but Pacman has lost a bit of magic for me. You never know.

It is no secret that he is trying to be a politician and has been for a few years so, I guess he has been winding down from the boxing world and making it a smooth transition as possible. Once the heart has gone and he doesn't feel like doing it anymore, then he will leave and I am sure this could be his last fight. He has been a worthy champion and it would be great to see if he can leave with his faculties in the correct order. If he loses tomorrow, I don't think he will dwell on it too much, and if he wins, there won't be any great celebration either. Though I could be wrong too.
 
24/7 is awesome

No one came out of that well, Roach seems to have got off pretty light in the press but he was out of order with his 'Mexican' comment. Ariza is just a cnut and has a really punchable face.

Yeah the press seem to have almost ignored some of the xenophobic and Anti-Semitic comments but Ariza obviously knows how to push his buttons.

Probably, but Pacman has lost a bit of magic for me. You never know.

True Pac has lost that killer instinct but even without it he's a few levels above Rios.
 
I hope Manny wins. Another defeat and that will probably be the end of his boxing career. Shame we never got to see him fight with Floyd a few years back.

Anyone know what time the Froch/Groves fight tomorrow is scheduled to start?

I read somewhere it's scheduled to start at 10:45.
