Agree with that totally Jim Diamond. Froch looked sloppy early on but was never in trouble, Groves however was out on his feet and lucky the ref stopped it when he did. It was early no doubt but it has actually made Groves look better than what he is as he managed to avoid  a pummeling in the last 3 rounds. All credit to George though he deserves respect

After the round 1 knockdown he only had 10 seconds until the bell so he wasnt in massive trouble. He was getting tagged often and rocked but i didnt think at any point he was about to be stopped, whereas i could tell Groves was getting broken down - i commented on it during the fight.


getting knocked down like that as close to the definition of massive trouble as you can get without being out cold....shots like that take years of fighters lives

Froch won't want any of a rematch.  He was outclassed tonight and caught a break (as did I having backed froch by stoppage)

round 6 i want to watch again ,thought groves was close to stopping him then and im sure thats when the ref could have took a point off Froch aswell

I think 78-73 76-75 76-75 were the cards...and you can understand them...it's the scoring of the tight rounds that does it...77-74 probably right with Froch taking the 9th...making it 86-84 or 85-84 with a knock down...

It's the early stoppage and not knowing how it pans out that is annoying and the fact a rematch is necessary...although Groves had done enough for a rematch however it turned out...

Froch wasnt in massive trouble. He took a massive shot that put him down and got up, took round 2 and then for me wasnt ever seriously in trouble despite getting tagged a lot.

I had it 77-74. It's far from certain Groves was going to win though. Froch was for sure about to win the current round.

a brutal knockdown doesnt count as massive trouble but covering yourself up and not taking sustained damage does?

ward would be a silly fight for groves to take.  There's plenty of lesser fighters out there that will look good on the CV and bring him some money before even considering fighting ward.

Credit to Groves, outstanding performance but he was on his way out, the stoppage was premature but maybe only slightly........he was on his way out from round 7.

Froch is a freak as a boxer, can take an almost unbeliavable amount of punishment, quite worrying for his health but what a spirit.

the only way GG could of won that fight was if he knocked him spark out,
they would of **** him on the cards anyway.

froch once again proved though that his chin is granite.  Even the way he came back knowing he needed a KO - heart of a champion. Absolute warrior who never backs out of any fight.  People booing him seem to have short memories.

has 2b ward or kessler imo...but hard to see groves v kessler being ppv.....no point going backwards...and i just tink stepping in wit this circus setup again is 2 risky for him plus he won't get the money either

Froch wasnt in massive trouble. He took a massive shot that put him down




A complete contradiction in two sentences.

I hear Froch was delusional (as usual) in his post fight interview.  Used to find it annoying but have to admit now I find it amusing. 

Anywho great fight, Groves did seem to be fading but the stoppage, of course, was a joke.  There will be a rematch.

Froch wasnt in trouble? You must have been watching a different fight to the rest of us Jimmy Confused

Why is that a contradiction? Just because he took a massive shot (which it wasn't anyway) doesn't mean he was in massive trouble.

Not really biscuit. It was a massive shot...........the fact that there was only 10 seconds left in the round meant for me though he wasnt massively in trouble, he was always going to see the end of Round 1.......might have been a different story with longer left in the round.

i agree with you there at least. but its not out of the realms of possibility that groves could of held on.

and the end of a round does not signify that a fighter is going to be recovered at the start of the next round. using the defense that the round was nearly over when the knockdown happened to suggest he could hang on to till the end of the round only gives credence to the idea that he actually was very hurt when the knockdown happened. so there's another contradiction

Clearly if Groves took that shot in the 1st it would have been topped in the 1st. Absolute farce of a decision to stop it at that stage. Embarrassing for a world title fight.

Makes me wonder how many on here have watched many Carl Froch fights before tbh. Name me another boxer in any division who could take the shots that Froch took tonight the first half of the fight and come out through rounds 7,8 and 9 and stalk Groves down like he did.

watch it again ,, Froch didnt have a clue for the first 6 rounds , Groves over did it thinking he just had to connect again and it would be over , next time but there wont be one he would take him out for sure

JD so you,ve seen Froch start fight like that before 5/6 rounds virtually nothing from him ,scared to throw in case he was countered
