Jean Pascal landed ROCKET LAUNCHERS on Froch all night, Froch walked through them Jermain Taylor caught Froch with a perfect punch, Froch got up and stopped him. Arthur Abraham was beaten up in a mismatch Lucian Bute (who many thought was NUMBER ONE at the weight) was totally outclassed and destroyed. Andre Ward (one of the best p4p) beat him but it wasn't all a total outclassing and embarrassing performance. Froch lost 115-113 on TWO CARDS, and then 118-110 on another. Went to war with Kessler in their first fight and came out second best slightly. Beat him in the rematch clearly. Dirrell beat him for my money but is better than Groves and he ran and ran and Froch kept trying all night. Froch got it on the cards. It was close either way but I thought Dirrell won. We are talking about the best fighters in the WORLD here. What has Groves done? Beat James Degale? (Most had him losing actually). Groves will not be knocking Carl out. Pascal and Kessler landed bombs all night. He might outbox Carl but he is going to have to fight a PERFECT fight because if he gets clubbed, Carl is a great finisher. Ian Darke said in the third round of Froch Bute "Oh what fools we were to write off Carl Froch". I for one and not making the same mistake. Groves gets stopped in this fight imo.
I laugh at the suggestion from the few who think Groves KO's Froch, it just isn't going to happen. Groves might win a few rounds but Froch will hurt, drop and stop Groves.
**** this 115-113 bollox, I know what I saw, Andre Ward outclassed Carl Froch. Different level altogether. Froch beats Groves because Groves isn't a world championship level fighter. He will get stopped.
Reid hit him with a right hand and Dirrell a left uppercut that were HUGE shots. Froch has a concrete chin (and concrete hands of his own).
Pascal had Froch all over the place. Froch didn't beat Kessler more clearly than Kessler beat him either.
In my opinion Carl won both Kessler fights, he has been my favourite boxer for some years...but being realistic he has had some hard fights the Pascal one was brutal and at some stage time will catch up with him......I don't think George beats him yet,but I wouldn't bet any money on it.:huh:-(
He is an international greedy money grabbing ****, however, I would reconsider my opinion if he donates his PPV earnings to fund the Philippines disaster for people with nothing.
I totally disagree with anyone that Groves will stop or even knockout Froch I don't think there is a chance in this world but what I can see is Groves boxing to a game plan by picking off Froch. I can see him winning aslong as he can throw his punches and move off and make Froch chase him. The only chance he has to win is by picking off Froch and not getting caught up in a brawl cause if he does he will be knocked out no doubt about that.
