Love the channel and how long before the exhibition fight lol

[@mooncat.787]

Loving the friendship boy's, may it long continue. Financially rewarding as well.

[@mooncat.787]

One more thing. Don't you think George looks like Kaleb Cooper ? Doppelganger I say !

[@jeremywyatt4981]

Only Froch could invite someone on his show for an interview and do all the talking 😂

[@wingcommanderdaltonwalton67]

@Boxing Truth definitely,in fairness he says something then has another bite before George can take the piss. Both class though,really good entertainment from both legends 🥊🥊🇬🇧

[@hatesitrick]

he's very entertaining and one of my fave british boxers but he talks about himself too much - he needs to make sure that he takes the channel in a better direction soon, and make sure he's actually focusing on other fights and not his fights from 10 years ago lol

[@thirstybonsai1888]

How many times people going too say this

Shhhhhhhhh - Its not about me froch 🤫 I’ve probably just branded him 😂😂🤦‍♂️

St George as the patience of a saint listening to froch indulging himself..Both brilliant tho 😂😂😂

[@thaostake9514]

Lad's the definition of a good sport

[@ritchski1]

He seems at peace with losing to Carl, he must genuinely like the guy to listen to all that. But I think Carl is a decent bloke, he just seems to need to build himself up. George is more relaxed

[@stemlee5318]

@@ritchski1 he’s definitely got more patience

[@Liam-jg3pl]

Carls high haha and George is too. George just knows him and listens

[@tiimsmiith1130]

I think it's just that carls sense of humor is very dry, so its hard to know if hes joking or not at times.

[@AlanAHAPartridge]

Froch basically interviewing himself with the occasional contribution from George 😂😂

[@williampacter7399]

What an inspiration - two men who had a genuine grudge, but have reconciled their differences and are now friends. The world can learn a lot from you both…

[@JBulla2539]

Froch v Groves fights were what put UK boxing back in the bigtime in my opinion, despite us being constantly told it was AJ

[@FrankUmarIflWarren]

👏👏

[@peterruff5810]

Why you laughing didn't you enjoy Carl Froch knocking out George Groves in front of 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.

[@james_44]

​@@peterruff5810Is that how many were there?

[@peterruff5810]

Yep apparently.

[@WardenOfTerra]

Carl loves seeing the reactions from people when he cracks a dry humour joke. You can see his eyes light up when he mentioned signing a picture. So funny. In all seriousness though, people need to realise that Groves fought Froch when he was in his early 20's and there's 10 years between them. It's kind of crazy how good Groves was. It's a massive shame that he retired so young because I genuinely think that he could've dominated his weight class. I think George is one of the most underrated British boxers.

[@csalt5235]

Won a world title & made some good money….George was in some wars as well so I’m kinda glad he hung them up when he did. He’s a great pundit now & clearly hasn’t suffered any damage. Good shout tho….forget how young he was.

[@stephenmccabe6850]

@@csalt5235 here here.

[@WardenOfTerra]

@@csalt5235 - Groves never allowed himself to get to his prime though. I think he should've continued until the age he is now. He could've gone further with more training. If he would've improved his footwork then he would've become unstoppable. He already had the power from the beginning.

[@ajawbox]

& in the same breathe you have to say Froch fought groves when he wss 36, at the end of his career, and he went punch for punch with one of the biggest punchers in the division who was young, hungry and techbically very good. And an old Froch still managed to get hin out of there twice. Both are great british fighters but for me Froch was on another level, not many fighters in world boxing could take the sort of punishment Froch took for them first 6 rounds of the first fight and still mamage to scrape a result. Bloke had a granite chin and a lions heart. foesnt get the credit he deserves, he wss tough enough to fight in any era at supermiddleweight.

[@adambritain5774]

Gets a lot of stick, Carl, God only knows why. His achievements are beyond question. And I could listen to him all day.

[@breal101]

Please don't be a melt about things.

It’s because they don’t get his humour

He loves to remind everyone, not sure if its sense of humour or he feels he has to all the time for recognition

[@kc8563]

Love this. Two champions - who lit up British boxing. What a golden era that was.

[@markbray2988]

This is the real Boxing channel. Two legends of the sport allowing us the privilege to share in their knowledge and friendship. Thanks guy's.

[@thetruthwillout9094]

Wouldn't exactly call them legends.

[@thomascolt1769]

They're not legends, just two young blokes who suffer from the need for 'nourotic social affirmation' or confirmation before their peers like almost every insecure human being on earth. 'Legends'. 😂

[@Russtick92]

This has been fantastic. Froch you've quickly become one of my favourite personalities in boxing these days. Which is strange because I wasn't all that fussed when you were still fighting. Good for you mate, enjoying the channel

[@hassasinali7979]

Same. This is the first I'm seeing it and it's been brilliant

[@jeecreative]

Banter between you both is great. Nice to see how genuinely close you've become after being such genuine rivals. Amazing what 80,000 people at Wembley can do.

[@AndyBlackSEO]

From a proper rivalry to a true friendship. This is great to see. Great guys recalling great memories.

[@oliverbentley966]

You two seem to feed off each other and make a perfect partnership. I hope to see you work together more in the future as I think your contrasting personalities make great content

[@colinward1007]

"Glad you interrupted as there wasnt much to say about the back to be honest. Pretty mediocre" 😂😂😂 love the little digs that George lets drop every now and then! 😂

[@jpw5029]

Very funny in an understated way

[@lightkeeperpromotions8750]

Big smile on my face from the first second to the last of this video. Wish these 2 legends would make this a weekly podcast. Few years down the line they would sign to a platform for their podcast and make a few extra millions🔥🔥🔥❤️

[@Podsey]

Wish these two had their own podcast! Quality lads!

[@wooltonhouseclearance]

I could listen to these two all day. The comedic sarcasm between the two of them is absolutely brilliant! It's brilliant to see such animosity between them both come full-circle into a genuine friendship.

[@Codezero4657]

This was bigger for sure and the best thing for me is the ending. Seeing you two like this now is the best bit. Both true warriors, both world champions. I just hope you guys stick around in the boxing scene and keep up the TV work. I can finally re-watch the fights with a smile on my face.

[@The5thElement22]

What a time to be a boxing fan it was remember my and all my family jumping around the living room both fights never forget um absolute classics

[@jonbsimon9868]

The banter is great between you both. Loved watching this 👍🇬🇧

[@tommyowens7293]

Can’t get enough of these two talking like this. Genuinely brings a smile to my face

[@User-dc5ob]

The fact I am glued to every video between these 2 shows how big a rivalry it was at the time for me. Great to see them bury the hatchet and are nkw mates

[@squadcast7456]

Met froch a few times in notts, he is a decent bloke and has always talked to me and gave me his time, good podcast this keep it up

[@flockofbudgies3787]

Actually had zero time for either of these guys. Loved their fights and rivalry. But gotta say,this is amazing to see them both like this together. New found respect for both. 👏🏻

[@MovieBr0]

Froch is one of my favourite fighters ever. Tough as they come, and a gentleman with it. Top fella!

[@xavierdavies1983]

Quality, ill never forget the Froch knockout in front of 80'000. Groves what a lad aswell, legends, thanks for the memories

That was excellent! Thanks for Two Great Fights. And Great respect for each other too 👍

[@barbarohelm9697]

Big respect to the both of you . George very underrated fighter think he was definitely winning the first fight and the stoppage was one of the worst I can recall. Froch one of the toughest guys in boxing definitely wouldn't of beaten calzaghe tho 😊

[@DannyArbuckle]

Growing up you were my hero i watched all your fights on telly but I went to the first fight against groves 2 weeks before I had my first fight funnily enough 😂 was one of the greatest comebacks I've ever seen and then you flattened him in the rematch. What a career 🥊 hall of fame well deserved 💯 one of the most underrated British fighters ever without a doubt!!!

[@MrSavage100]

Love this honestly great to listen to both of you 🥊

[@creativeartist83]

Nice.. good watch.. will definitely check more stuff on this channel 👍

[@kerkiraz]

For all the hard work these chaps took in their respective careers battering the hell out of their heads they are very eloquently gifted and have scrubbed up reasonably well 👍

[@aleggs146]

Heartwarming to see this. I studied at Nottingham and had a natural inclination to support Carl. But George played the villain to a T! Truly a rivalry for the ages and for me the fight of a generation. Great that George got his W in the end. And now a friendship forged in fire. Hats off chaps!

[@jameslloyd9893]

Really enjoyed the video, would like them to do a long interview with questions from the public

[@colinroyle]

Rewatched the Groves v Chudinov fight the other day. Great fight and win for Groves, was so pleased for him. And credit to Froch all the way through on commentary - he genuinely was up for Groves and gave a great and fair account

[@luisortizszimmerframe6933]

Always great to see you two chewing the fat, and especially to see the genuine warmth and camaraderie that has developed since retirement.

[@jamiepreece6685]

I love the change and honesty in George Groves. He comes across as humble and at peace with himself. He accepts who he was in the past and has tried to rectify that. He'd be a great mens health advocate, alongside Fury. Good for you George

[@ianwhitehead4728]

Just brilliant this channel is getting better and better 👏

[@12barmac]

These two are Boxings version of Saint & Greavsie....😂. loved the two bits you pair have done..... Thanks Lads....

[@aa-up4sf]

I used to live in London around then, moved out for obvious reasons ever since but Groves had a HUGE following after that especially like Hammersmith area and even the different football firms in London were all for Groves. Great rivalry these two.

[@richardjones3792]

Why did you move? The crime, cost and woke insane lefties?

[@mattdavies4811]

I'm glad you both can talk about 2 great bouts for British boxing. The Cobra eventually got the credit for the 2nd fight, one of the best knockouts I've seen. George for being technically an excellent boxer and eventual world champion. I enjoy listening to Carl to. He gets stick for being a big head when in reality he's just taking the p*ss out of himself. One of the few boxing pundits not to crawl up someone's backside and speaks his mind. Mr Froch never change bud👍

[@SimonBerrevoets]

Be great too see this more of a regular thing to discuss boxing topics

[@staffordboy7824]

The best boxing channel on the internet, you get the truth and you can't ask for anymore than that.

[@laurarules3642]

The build up to the rematch was phenomenal and I still rewatch it all every now and again. The grudge really was authentic which made it all the more enjoyable to watch. After George won all the mind games in the build up to the first fight every face to face interview they did together was electric because you really had no idea what would happen between the two of them and who would win on that particular day. I was a Carl Froch fan and I really saw George as the bad guy in the build up. After George floored Carl in the first match I really had a sense of dread and excitement during the rematch because I did think Carl could lose and despite them both saying not much happened in the rematch I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, it was real white knuckle stuff

[@neilmaxwell6558]

Awesome. 👍 two truly great fighters of their time . .
