Carl Froch and George Groves had to be separated on the scales as they both made weight for Saturday night's world title fight. Groves has engaged the champion in a heated war of words before their fight, live on Sky Sports Box Office and AWE/AWETV.com, and Froch whispered in his ear before the bitter rivals were pulled apart. Froch weighed in at 11st 13lb (167-pounds), below the 12st limit (168-pounds), while Groves was over a pound inside the super-middleweight mark at 11st 12lbs (166-pounds).
