    Froch will never set foot near a ring again with Groves in it after that schooling

    Apart from Ward I dont see anyone at 168 or below that beats him

    Boxing is a sport that can finish a fighter over night ( look no further than a certian 30-0 Canadian sensation who went in against Froch some time ago) but Groves will only come out of that fight stronger


    He is a bit too wide for my liking (a trend I've noticed over a few of his fights) but he has so much power and savvy when he calms himself down, a tough night for any man

    I think fight fans will force a rematch with Groves/Froch, as in almost 100% of the fans, including Froch fans, believe that Groves proved himself that night and would have beaten Froch. Good thing Froch had his referee to give him the fight..............

    If Groves can get legit judges - I'd recommend him lowering his early output so he can better survive 12 rounds with Froch. Froch did call for the rematch himself and he is a pretty honest fighter.

    George Groves needs to file a class action lawsuit against the BBB of C. We need to find out why all the judges and the ref were completely against Groves and absolutely biased to Froch. They robbed him of two World Titles and his undefeated record.

    Why was the score cards even with Groves only leading by 1 point because of the KD? When it should of been about 7-1 or 6-2 maybe. Why did the ref allow Froch to be rocked all night long, but the first time Groves got buzzed he instantly jumped in.

    Why did the ref predict the fight would end in the 9th round by Froch before the fight, then quickly stop the fight in the 9th?

    Yes, I agree. I read what the BBBC said today and it looked fishy to me...........

    Groves by nature is a gun slinger that's why we were all surprised when he fought degale off the back foot, we didn't think he had that in his box of tricks and most people tipped degale to win. Groves has that calzaghe last word mentality

    I can't think of anyone @168 who gets up from that punch, besides Froch. Maybe Sakio Bika?
    Robert Stieglitz dodged a major bullet last year.
    I can't see Ward walking on to the punch like Froch did, but if Groves could get to Ward's chin, he could do some damage. Easier said than done though.

    Have we seen a better knockdown this year?

    it should be Froch in FRochs final fight, after Groves stops him. Otherwise, perhaps ......I dunno. I doubt many will want to fight him.

    Schooling that he won by stoppage. Groves was great and I thought the stoppage was premature, but the championship rounds that were next are Frochs domain and I dont think Groves would have survived to see the final bell.

    In a rematch, I dont think Groves can fight any better, but Froch can and will know not to be complacent now. Same result I think.

    And I am a fan of both fighters
