Thats what i was thinking especially at the weigh in and just before the fight started. At the weigh Groves just stared right into his eyes not saying much, Froch kept looking away and tried to intimidate him by talking in his ear which failed. Then before the fight Groves was stood in the middle of the ring by himself just staring at Froch, he tried to hide behind his team and he would not look back at him. Then in the fight Froch look initmdated, scared (of losing) and clueless, Groves shocked a lot of people in that fight and derserves the rematch.
I predicted a Froch KO late but I agree with everyone else that the stoppage was garbage. Groves did well.
I hope Froch is not intimidated of a rematch because that was a gift. Did anyone else on earth besides the judges have the fight 4 rounds to 4, with Groves only leading by 1 point because of the KD? The ref, the judges, the whole event was corrupt. Andre Ward or anyone else would have to insane to come to the UK and fight Carl Froch
I would love to see the rematch but there is no way that Froch takes it. The only thing Groves did wrong was show inexperience and get dragged into Carls type of fight instead of boxing and moving from round 8. That being said, the horrible thing is that even if Froch won rounds 9-12 they would have robbed Groves on the score cards. The two score cards were as embarrassing as the stoppage and Eddie Hearns loyalty to Froch.
You could tell before the KD Froch didnt respect Groves and saw him as a scrub that he would simply walk through. After kd he was scrambling to think of something but was clueless for the next few rounds. Towards the end it got desperate, he picked it up, closed the gap and adjusted and got lucky. Froch will not take that rematch because he knows he will lose.
