I thought this might deserve a dedicated thread of it's own seeing as this is one of the most eagerly awaited fights in many a year.
Mods feel free to delete if you think this detracts from the main boxing please thread.
I see the trash talk has already gotten silly.
Carl Froch given 'death row' warning by George Groves

CARL FROCH V GEORGE GROVES II
"He's like a man on death row and I can't imagine that would be very nice," said Londoner Groves, 26.
"His destiny is to lose and I'd much rather leave him to digest all of that in peace.
"Nothing needs to be said between us. It's dawning on him that his day of reckoning is approaching and he's in a fight he cannot win.
"On Saturday it's going to hit him like a slap in the face - it might hit him during the ring walk or it might hit him in the form of a left hook"
"But he knows when he looked in the mirror the following morning his face was swollen, he had two black eyes, a swollen lip and lumps all over his head.
"The magnitude of the event could be dawning on him. That could be why he was so quiet and subdued at the press conference.
"I thought he would have made one last effort to get under my skin. But he's lost the mind games all the way, whatever he said wouldn't have been relevant."
Bring it!
