James Degale: "Let me tell you something...forgot what i was gonna say now" Groves: "sounds about right" had me in stitches

[@Craigox001]

Same. Funny as fuck

[@Suckysuckydoller]

Hahaha same here pure classic moment

[@mradamsmith9365]

Great career he's had, Groves, Those fantastic nights at Wembley against our very own Carl Froch, That controversial first fight followed by the infamous 80'000 second fight, which unfortunately for Groves he came up short in, But.. still a stellar resume with wins over Degale, the dangerous eubank, Jamie Cox, Chudinov, That 12 round war with Badou Jack over in America, what a fight that was. He's been brilliant has groves, the consummate professional, win,lose or draw, he always gave it his all, british boxing will miss him, and us here at sky will certainly miss him.

[@joecook5689]

I always liked groves. Big froch guy. From the USA. Never understood why it seemed more British loved George and hated karl. Why?

[@darkestification]

Joe Cook Carl has always had a bit of a snobbish attitude and never showed anyone respect. When Groves fought Froch he gained massive popularity because he actually talked shit to Froch and made him very uncomfortable and people loved it.

[@ben-fe3zy]

I didn't like it. I thought it was unnecessarily disrespectful. Still, respect the fighter and the man, but I hated the tone of those two fights. Felt like the casuals got too excited

[@Whatsupp666]

Got wiser with age and turned into a real class act, well done GG. Thanks for all the great fights through the years, Top man!

[@imback9818]

This is a guy I was happy to see get the belt.

[@patthewildgoose6460]

Always been a fan of Groves. When he talks about Gutknecht you can tell that plays on his mind and that he has a heart. Well done for not listening to the doubters George and getting that world championship.

[@itwasalladream7134]

A credit to the sport, a role model to the youth. You did England proud George. Absolute legend

He retired a while ago BT beat you to it. A very good intelligent fighter. I appreciate him more now he has retired.

[@calob3927]

Shocking how he was treated throughout his career. Never given a chance, never given a break. Bad luck after bad luck. Still managed to achieve lots in the game.

[@pixelthirst7282]

A genuine credit to boxing. An incredibly exciting career to have followed! Enjoy retirement champ!

[@boatingforbeginners7949]

Fantastic interview, I dont think anyone will ever forget his first fight with Froch, Just an awesome fight to watch and respect to both of them. Loved George's style, totally different from the norm. A true winner in every way. Enjoy your retirement George, You bloody deserve it

[@dublinbikereire]

Was a class act Groves..Respect from 🇮🇪

[@Newbie_neil]

Nobody cares where u r from mate

[@davidtaylor3318]

Quality fighter. The build up to the froch bouts was absolutely incredible.

[@Daxman360]

Legend. Quality fighter. Thanks for the memories. Wishing the Saint a happy retirement.

[@BadBloodPodcast]

Gotta love them. They put everything on the line for our entertainment

[@neilhartley5372]

Bollox

[@MUFFINHEAD1985]

Love this guy. Absolute gentleman. An English gent. Underrated talent. He was mercuarial in the first Froch fight. He lost a lot of confidence after not Froch confrontations but slowly rebuilt.

[@seanscott5057]

The fighter that got me back into boxing after the departure of Calzaghe and Hatton. Cannot wait for the Autobiography....hopefully that'll be out for Christmas.

[@hins2693]

He doesn't get the credit he deserves. His self belief was brilliant. That first Froch fight was so controversial and it was such a fantastic fight. Groves always stepped up to the occasion and even after he got laid out, he came back and won a world title. How can you fault him for that?

[@Charlie-de7kk]

Great boxer and left the sport at the right time clever man the real St George

[@mickiebrennan]

Best jab I've ever seen imagine this guy's mental health after this froch honestly I went two the badu Jack fight he won such a great fighter

[@robbieomalley1605]

Go on the Saint! A pure gent and a great champion! Froch is such a bell-end!

[@stewarthannah7478]

Superb Athlete, Proud, Tough, Great Example

[@Joe-qt2bw]

Proud to say i was there to see this legend win a world title 😃

[@markdelarosa2445]

Thanks for this memory’s lad , good fighter, you achieved your dream ...not many can say that god bless 🥊

[@thegroove2000]

That win over degale must have been an amazing feeling.

[@tonys6237]

Being from Nottingham I was a big Froch fan. However, I have a lot of respect for Groves because of his bravery, tenacity, skill and that bizzare tie he was wearing in the interview with Degale!

[@petyrkowalski9887]

Great piece. Always been a Groves fan. Love his guts and spirit. Made Froch look like an arrogant sod in the first fight and was robbed by Howard Foster IMO but came back and won his title. Retired at the right time. Good luck George.

[@davidsheridan5286]

I’d have loved to see Groves v Saunders , everything about it , mind games , boxing the lot !

[@gr752]

A great open and honest insight.. he deserves to enjoy his retirement

[@caincotterill5493]

I’ve watched that Froch first fight many times, it still makes my shit itch!! Wish he could have continued with Booth(unbeaten together) I think he would have been the champ a lot sooner. Respect for the mind games too. Always spoke truths, some people just don’t recognise them. Class act.

[@TheDoctor_22]

One of my favourite British boxers of all time! What a journey.

[@renebaills6168]

from France congratulations for your career good luck !

[@MikeStock88]

Always was a huge fan of Groves, loved the career, enjoy the well earned retirement!

[@youthserg9066]

I've been watching boxing for a long time but somehow missed Groves. I didn't expect to watch this whole thing but it really drew me in. Glad he got it in the end!

[@northonsipmediaprmarketing67]

Legend. Good luck with your future Groves!

[@rdallas81]

What a terrific guy, and intelligent. It's obvious in his dissection of the list of potentials in any direction, win or loss....against an opponent, and knowing life exists outside the ring....and other things are important. I'd love to see more people like this terrific guy.

[@amyleepurton]

Beautiful boy I love his swagger. George is a champ love you 💙

[@johnnyutah999]

What an inspiration. Could've gave up when knocked out but kept going and achieved his dreams. Fantastic

[@markknight8098]

I am a massive boxing fan and I love George, he is an absolute Gentleman. Fantastic boxer and genuine person. I would love to have a beer you with mate!

[@ngazediwahotep7740]

I started to follow at the end of his career, he was underrated fighter. Had one of the most beatiful and efective body punch, when we was covering(counter-attacking!) he was always a gentlema, now i know why. He should make more fight, he´s on his prime!! Great champ!!

[@bernesepuppy]

George , you've been great.

[@SteveBB8]

Some of the best boxing nights! It was so good to support George and be part of Team Saint George Groves! Thank you George for stepping up and doing your best 😀👍 Enjoy your retirement and look back with pride! Well done champ 👊👍

[@adammcmurtry4870]

You can see clearly when he's talking about eddie how much its affected him choking back and not being able to find words ect shows how human these fighting machines are

Nothing but respect for him. Great fighter.

[@cooltools007]

Absolute saint in the sport,.. It shows how hard it is to become a elite fighter,.. George had a difficult ride....I thought if froch groves 1 hadn't of been stopped, he had a great chance of winning that fight, when 2 happened froch knew much more about boxing groves and it was to be the difference, regardless of results any fighter would of loved to be involved in such a huge set of fights. Amazing fughter

[@jontyarnold8522]

Respect to Groves, I’m from Nottingham and so a Froch man, the first fight they had was immense, Groves was almost punch perfect and well ahead on points...yes stopped too early but ofcourse that paved the way for a blockbusting rematch. I was so pleased to see Groves beat Degale .....I really could stand Degale and his attitude - not a likeable bloke at all. Enjoy retirement Groves...credit to the sport 🥊
