Boxing

The trash talking is soon to start up in earnest as the build-up continues for Froch v Groves 2 at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, May 31st.

Froch was the controversial winner in round nine first time around after surviving an onslaught from Groves in the early rounds and with many observers feeling Groves should have been given more time to continue.

So who will prevail in the second showdown? Our traders have Froch the 4/7 favourite, Groves a 6/4 shot and the draw 25/1. Fight Minutes are priced at 26 – 27.5 meaning our traders think the fight will again finish at around the ninth round.

We have Pacquiao 8/15, Bradley 6/4 and the draw 22/1.
