Boxing

What was your view like? Could you watch it and actually see it or did you have to watch it on screens? The view from miles back, posted by spudgun, looked terrible.

Said before the booing and general hatred of Amir Khan has some pretty ****ing sinister undertones if you ask me.

[RichC]

My view was ok, you could see the ring but it was easier to watch it on the screens.

Cracking night of boxing and that punch, as soon as it was landed you knew it was over, I had Froch up by 1 at that point but tbh you could have called it either way at that point.

Groves will be back and I think he's got enough to become a world champ at some point.

Khan hatred is bizarre, I've always felt he's a bit short at the elite level but he's good boxer and I'm not sure what he's done to be so disliked

[Shaggy]

I think for many it is because he is brown.

[RichC]

If true that's very sad.

[Chazza]

Don't think him being in Gonzales corner helped.

Kel Brook was having a dig on twitter about it.

[RichC]

Yeah that wasn't a great move to be honest.

I'd quite like to see Brook and Khan go at it

[Zapater]

Indeed, Khan can be a bit of a prick sometimes, however there are many British sportsmen on a similar or much worse level whom are fondly thought of. Obviously you don't want to jump to conclusions too much, however it's very possible, Shaggy may not be too far off the mark.

Some more events coming up. Notably Cotto - Martinez and Provodnikov back in the ring.

anyone know how the fight was recieved in america? do they give ****? will it have raised Froch's chances of getting a Vegas fight?

[RichC]

No idea although with the punch that finished plus selling out Wembley you'd think he's a good chance of getting a fight in Vegas; it'll be interesting though if he does continue as it'll need to be a pretty big fight I think for the motivation to be there.

[Chazza]

He was talking up another crack at Ward in Vegas this morning.

[RichC]

Hmmmm he'd need to catch him with a punch like Groves to win that IMO as he'll get out boxed again by Ward

He was?

Be surprised if that fight takes place.

Ward doesn't leave Oakland, ever.

And unfortunately Froch isn't a big enough name in the States to headline a Vegas card.

Froch vs Chavez Jr in Vegas makes sense.

Wouldn't mind seeing Froch hammer the ****e out of Chavez Jr for 12 rounds.

Yeah, he was on talksport saying he wants Ward in Vegas to try and avenge the defeat.

Eddie Hearn was suggesting if he can't get Vegas then Froch will jack it.

We were in the Club Wembley seats so were pretty far back. As soon as we got there I could just about make out Antony Joshua, so I knew anyone else I'd be struggling to see

Ended up watching a majority of the fight on the screens, but when you're there and have the atmosphere etc you really don't care; just glad you're lucky enough to have a ticket.

[Shaggy]

Oh totally, the atmos must've been amazing.
