Two of my favourite moments in boxing are when Groves dropped Froch in that classic first fight and then when he finally won that WBA world title at Bramall Lane. He’s in my personal top 5 favourite boxers ever.
Spot on.
Great comment. Also go and search up when he knocked out a boxer called Sierra in LA. One of the best KOs you’ll ever see.
same
Him getting koed by froch was also a big iconic British boxing moment not a massive froch or groves fan personally I was a degale fan met degale at a hotel once an they were sound him an all his teams
Top 5 😂
I never really warmed to George Grove's personality when he was a fighter. He had that sort of chip on his shoulder. It's nice to understand why and you actually couldn't find a more humble switched on Human Being. I'm glad he's content and happy. He deserves it
Never took to George. Top fighter don't get me wrong but always reminds me of your local plumber turning up on your doorstep.
I felt the exact same with Eubank snr too. Then you see there true side after they’ve retired and realise their top men
True, he appeared that way! Wouldn't have recognised him with the hair.
He had to sell himself
What a nice comment. I like people who say things to help people . Thanks
What a decent guy. Well done George on your fantastic and successful career. be proud and stay content!
Love this guy. One of the best jabs in boxing. Always backed him.
His jab was world class.
George Groves is my favourite British fighter. His journey to the world title was worthy of a film. Just to add his ram rod jab was fucking unreal!!
The most underrated British fighter ever. What a legend Saint George Groves 🇬🇧💯
Was always a Froch fan, but George showed unbelievable heart, got to the top of the mountain, is a class act
James English & George Groves. I really enjoyed this interview. I’ve never understood the difficulty of a fighter that is not a marque signed fighter on a big platform. I’ve got a massive respect for George for achieving his dreams following the set backs. Good to hear him speak now he’s a retired boxer. Came across really well - Top Bloke.
I enjoyed following George’s career from start to finish, and was so happy when he got his title…definitely one of my favourite British boxers - hell of a right hand💥
Followed George's career all the way and was buzzing when he finally won his world title. Great interview James. Great rivalry with both degale and froch. And great fight CV that lots of currently active fighters can only dream of 👍
Love groves, he is so open. Must have been an enjoyable interview. Thanks this was appreciated.
Anyone who can box with one arm at elite level .. not only survive .. BUT WIN 🏆 WOW 🤩 ❤️🇬🇧
It was 1 round

Brilliant podcast, a totally different side to Groves and showing a very honest side to his career. Enjoyed every minute, and found a new respect for him.
I was really happy when he won the title finally. People don't remember he was probably past his best when he did that, he was falling apart in his later career. He had some great moments
Fantastic interview. I followed George throughout his career, this was a great insight. Cheers
George Groves is a true warrior and legend.
This is brilliant.. followed George his whole career.. I always felt he was world class.. his jab..movement and right hand.. brilliant! Ring IQ on point to.. so under rated! Brilliant chat this James 👏
Thanks
Followed Groves from the Kenny Anderson fight.. fantastic jab and power... another Brillant podcast from James English
I met George on the tour he did with Carl Froch just under a month ago what a friendly and polite gentleman. He engaged with the fans and even took selfies and I got his and Carls autograph as well. I also went on the Tyson Fury after party tour and he was surrounded by People preventing autographs , selfies and engaging with him
Quality fighter Groves guys jab incredible, always gave fantastic entertainment.
What a brilliant interview James 👌🏼
Absolutely fascinating insight to George’s career, what a journey!
Loved watching his fights, especially when he put Froch on his ass 👏🏼
Great to see George enjoying retirement, looking and sounding healthy!
Love Groves and his wicked style, very humble guy
Buzzing to see this, George is one of my favourite fighters I’ve watched. What a career, great podcast James!
Cheers mate
@@JamesEnglish one of my favourites this James, you manage to get the most out of George
As someone who went to all the early groves fights as a friend of a friend I cam honestly say it was one of the most exciting times for me In boxing ever, got to go to hos engagement party and so forth and to this day if goegre sees me round hell always go out of his way to say hello and he doesn't have to, legend in an out of the ring and can only say how proud of him for getting the world title finally
He seems like a genuinely nice lad to be fair.
I can definitely believe that man. There was an interview a wee while back with George where he had somewhere to be but between saying hello to anybody & everybody at the event whilst at the same time as doing the interview, etc he was definitely late! 😆
Great guy GG ✌🏼🥊
Great interview with George , talented fighter , great attitude.
Groves is one of my favourite boxers his story is a good 1 man, he got there and won that World title he earned his money and has done what he set out to do..great lad and a good fighter, positive energy sent to him and his family, he played a big underated part in boosting British boxing with the 2 fights with Froch...one love x
Brilliant podcast never liked him in his fighting days thought he was a cocktail aggorant so and so however he was a really really good fighter and what a humble down to earth guy he is underneath it all! All the best in your future george 👍
Great Fighter, Honest, Sincere Thinker, Proud of you Mr. Groves
Thank you for this interview James. My all-time favorite athlete is Groves, and I'm from America. Hope to make it to London some day. No better boxing atmosphere than the UK!
Thanks
Never been too much of a fan of groves, definitely am now! What a great podcast and a great guy!
Great interview, always gives the guests time to respond, no interruptions....understands that sometimes less is more when it comes to being the interviewer....GG one of my all time favourite British fighters, was so buzzing when he finally became World Champion
Thanks John
Great interview. I was lucky enough to be at Wembley for the Froch fight and it was incredible. I’ll never forget that Rubik’s cube!
Brilliant George, great interview 👏
Thanks James, really enjoyed that one m8 👍
Loved this interview. George seems like a class act 👏🥊
Always liked Groves. Didn’t act like the others and was considered odd. Which is something I can relate to. An articulate man with a great legacy. Didn’t look like a lethal elite fighter, but I liked that about him! Imagine some knob picking on him! Great bloke great interview. Thanks James and George👍
Absolutely loved that, Cheers fellas 👍👍👍
👍🏼
Used to hate groves but grew on me over the years, love him now
Class interview, massive fan...a real pleasure to watch!!
Another great interview Mr English onwards and upwards brother 👍🏿. Groves is a grounded bloke and a very good boxer, Good to see an Ex boxer with his faculties and Speaking well, keep up the great Podcasts James 🤜🏻🤛🏿
Yes James. Smashed it AGAIN. Can’t wait for this one
Another Great Podcast James. Aswell as being an amazing Boxer George seems a top fella . Well worth a watch 👍
Thanks
One of my favourite fighters to watch, was buzzing for him when he won his world title in Sheffield. Loved his style and excellent power. Everybody that fought said he had the biggest one punch power they faced, including the likes of Murray who had been in with the likes of GGG.
Ask froch
@@alokhan3622 only 2 fighters put Froch down. Groves and Jermaine Taylor. And he was noticeably more hurt v Groves. So yeah, he might say so too.
Outstanding podcast, could have watched more of this for sure.
Totally humble guy and totally sincere too 🥊🥊
Thanks mate
What a lovely down to Earth guy.
Great interview!
Thanks Matt
Gave the British boxing fans some great entertainment , cheers Mr Grove
This was a really good watch James, George comes across amazing, great insight into the things that go on behind the person.
Great guest to have on. George is always honest and interesting 👍🏼
Thanks
Very good interview 👏🏻, could do with a few more like George Groves on the scene now.
Great guest 👌 always liked groves and enjoyed watching him his style was entertaining. Very honourable bloke, never gave up and finally won a world title after a number of set backs which has to be admired
Great Interview. Always enjoyed watching George box
Excellent chat 👍 didn’t know too much about George Groves previously on a personal level but comes across as a really decent bloke. All the best to the man 🥊
Top British fighter. World champion, all the best in retirement
Another great interview, love George I have watched all his fights glad he is happy and retired…….
The style & the stance absolutely superb Boxer.Gotta love Groves
Brilliant James most enjoyable podcast in a while really enjoyed it 👏👏 , seen a totally different side to George also , great career his 2 froch fights were brilliant , great viewing 👍
Brilliant podcast James, I liked groves and his quirky ways, like doing rubix cube at press conference when froch was speaking😂
Top interview 👌 great bloke honest to listen to one of my favourite boxers loved the needle he had with degale and froch . Comes across an intelligent bloke 👍
Best interview yet for me absolutely love my boxing, can tell you love it aswell and groves froch 2 first big live fight I went to crazy night, wish you played his press conference clip of his prediction and asked him about it was quality
Proper class interview the best I've seen with George thanks james
Thanks for watching Dave
George is top class, his own podcast is epic
could listen to george all day
i watched his boxing life stories podcast and it was really good so i defo had to watch this. a smart lad whos easily relatable(him against the world mindset)
Jack , brilliant interview. George was always my favourite , he’s a brilliant guest to have on
Who's jack?
@@andrewdavey508 I should really put my glasses on
My apologies to James.
Loved Groves as a fighter he was fearless and showed froch in the first fight I thought he qas well winning that fight and I think he's a lovely guy great jab he put the work in and is a former champion respect GG
Groves is so underrated one of the best super middleweights Britain has seen beat up froch over two fights never lost a round until he got knocked out. Never backed down did it all his self with no backing great great boxer
Talk shite never lost a round fought well end of
Awesome interview. Very interesting. Thank you
I liked George , always gave his all, glad he got a world title, id say he deserved it , paid his dues in full
George always give good value....in the ring and now out the ring..
remember bumping into George while he was a panelist on a show called primetime tv for an Amir Khan fight, George was early in his career (think Froch was on the panel that day too! as was Duke McKenzie)...was very early in his career and even then, humble, approachable and a true gentleman...was gutted when he lost that 2nd fight to Carl, wish him and Adam Booth had stuck it out as i think he would have achieved that Championship belt a lot sooner than it came.
Never liked him as a boxer, but seeing the human side of him 10/10 great show 🎉🎉
Looks and sounds so much better. His mind and body have recovered from the boxing.
Solid fighter! Well done George! I remember watch your first fight with Degale Brent Town Hall and could cried with you got stopped by the ref that was your belt! Shout out from a fellow West londonder - All-stars Boxing club!
Great podcast , iv always been a fan of groves , great to hear he’s story 👍
Thanks
Loved George. London boy and always fought who he had too.
I enjoyed this, i’ve always liked George because of his fighting style. I couldn’t help thinking how good it would be if James could get two rivals on at the same time, like Degale and Groves or two rivals that have put their past behind them.
George Grove is a legend. a true warrior of the ring. his self believe is second to none this is one fighter that I will never forget in my lifetime his will to win is to give and take whatever comes his way in the ring ST GEORGE
I agree something i noticed earlier in the podcast he said his dad would fully support him in whatever he wanted to do. Shows the treatment you recieve in the early years of your life can have a huge impact
Now this is worth watching 👍
TOTALLY AGREE 💯🇬🇧❤️
Ya
St George Groves was always in entertaining fights & enjoyed watching him throughout his career, enjoy retirement!!
Really great chat guys. British boxing was very lucky to have you George👍
Cheers Kev
George is a top bloke, always gave good value.
Great fighter soo entertaining loved his journey, legend
Wow what an interview James and my all time favorite fighter gg you really got him to open up top man
thanks Kev
this man is a true legend
Thanks
Very good and relaxed interview.
I'll always be a George Groves fan after that first fight with Carl Froch. Can't remember many fights that exiting in recent times.
Followed george since the degale fight , My opinion he was brilliant to watch , Carried himself in his own unique way at conferences and faceoff etc ... I enjoyed the froch face off and george was drilling his eyes into froch and u could see how uncomfortable froch was ... i did enjoy watching him i have to be honest . Good on u groves ! Wish him all the best in retirement ☝👍👊
One off your best interviews ever James credit too you both I know Georges strength coach for when he was training with Adam Booth and he had nothing but positive things to say about him great content and interview. 👍👍
Thanks
Easily the best interview youve done mate.Listened twice.Well done
Thanks
Groves was a great fighter.
I went to 4 of his fights
vs
James Degale
Paul Smith
Glen Johnson
Martin Murray
Serious KO Power in All His Shots
Best podcast I’ve seen.
👍🏼
Always enjoyed GG bouts . Enjoy him taking even more
Groves came out more liked and poular than Froch. I got a lot of time for him. Always speaks well and was hilarious in the build up to big fights. And one hell of a Boxer!
I love what Andre Ward said about froch.
"Not only is he a sore loser, he's a sore winner too." 🤣😂
I've always really enjoyed George's style, similar to Haye in many ways so plenty of excitement. No doubt the 1st Froch fight was stopped too soon, unfortunately the way Froch finished him in fight 2 vindicates Howard Foster's decision. Really good interview, one of the best.
how does froch knocking him out in one fight vindicate the ref calling it too early in another fight?
Been looking forward to this one
quality interview mr English
Big fan great style of fighting and worked the buisness well . Great guest to have on James smashing it pal
Two great podcasts and guests in a row keep it up James!
Love this one
I really liked groves from the start….really good boxer I loved his fighting stance and style. The best groves quote is when he said to Carl froch “in the first round I’m going to hit you with two right hands” then knocked froch down with the first right hand 😂😂😂👊🏿
Best pod so far.
Class interview that..Cheers James
