    I gave Froch 3 or 4 tbh. Groves was ahead narrowly but let's not get carried away.
    Stoppage was pathetic.
    Froch embarressed himself post fight.

    Yeah you could tell that although the have had differences booth genuinely cares about groves says a lot tbh. Can only hope that they reunite and return to take ownership of the belts he rightfully deserves

    Yes I did, he was very disrespectful and denied the truth of the fight - not talking that though, I just mean I hope he rematches and proves himself to be the man he says he is, as he often says "the warrior". As if he avoids a rematch, then that's pretty low.
    Simply has to, or his respect will go down a lot.

    Bull**** in my opinion. He was just too proud and relieved to 'win' to admit it.
    In a completely high adrenaline fight perhaps, but Froch was being pummeled all over the place for the first 5 rounds - he will have been well aware.

    id say he's concussed to be honest. Lets be frank here, he got the ears boxed off him, with heavy shots in pretty much every round.

    Ive heard McCracken say before that if he ever sees Froch slowing down, then he'll be the first to say it to him.

    Well i have to be honest, if i was Frochs' advisors id ask him to call it a day now. He looked totally shot in there tonight. Groves made him look like an old man, and im sorry, warrior or not, taking that kind of punishment is not going to do you any favours.

    He's 36 now, by the time a rematch would come around he'll probably be 37, Groves will be 26.

    History tells you something in boxing. Old men dont beat young men. Simple as that.

    Groves will knock him clean out if they fight again. Froch should retire now, the dust will settle from this fix, he'll have his money, and the W beside his name.

    There was tears. I think had Booth been in the corner it would have been a different ending. Booth would not have allowed him trade like he was. He could have boxed from distance for the last few rounds and won by a mile on fair cards.

    Groves would have finished the job. He was using up so much energy in the end, and he didn't need to. He should have been more disciplined, stuck the stick and move Boxing. He was getting involved into much trading. Groves was catching Froch relatively easy, he couldn't see the punches coming half the time.

    Groves could have picked off Froch and knocked him out if he didn't brawl IMO.. He was to careless and fought with his emotions at times. Froch would have not connected as much as he did if Groves fought smart.

    Booth in his corner tonight could have been a deciding factor. And possibly Groves would have sealed the deal. Such a shame with the stoppage though. He was taking to many needless shots.

    Groves was completely smacking Froch all over the place in the first three..

    Froch has an ego he won't be able to take this much damage to his reputation.he will give George the rematch and come out more aggressive next time, possibly with his left hand actually guarding his chin.
