    Suspect Coach in IMO.

    I'm sure Paddy is a great trainer, but this the elite level - which I don't believe he should be coaching at.

    Groves should get back with Adam Booth or get a new coach like V hunter

    Froch has massive power. That shot would have dropped almost everyone. He has other huge KO wins.

    Groves needs to stop the crouching style and making himself smaller when he fights. It does not create power.

    I get the impression that Groves calls the shots inside and outside the ring.He needs a new trainer and a manager that he can trust.George simply is not as clever as he thinks and this arrogance has cost him big time.

    Groves just did not look as strong as the first fight.

    Carl started to take control of the center of the ring and started really working his jab and it all went downhill.

    I think he out-psyched himself. Looking back he looks deluded with his self belief. I don't know why he didn't through as many right hands. Froch's left hand was low, as usual, Groves should've just scored points and kept Froch honest by landing the right. He is so much more skilled I bet it makes the true trainers out there sick.

    Froch may have stated his gameplan was to box more, he was just trying to get close and land away the hooks. Groves was just so poor on the inside.

    Difference was the chin and the confidence in one's chin. Groves has all the hallmarks of a fighter afraid to exchange in the 2nd fight after being hurt in the first. His lack of confidence in his own chin also made his less aggressive than the first fight.

    He just fought a tougher and stronger fighter who can fight and knows how to relax. Fight and relax - very important.

    Groves thought because he was the fresher, faster fighter he could outfox Froch or beat him to the punch. He knew he hurt and dropped Froch in the first fight and thought he had it in the bag if he repeated the same in the 2nd, but you can't do that with a veteran like Froch. Like Marquez, I think Froch is one you have to respect and wise not to knockout because they are at their most dangerous when they are wounded or know their opponents want to go for broke. Groves was doing very good finding his mark with the right hand early he should of kept it up throughout the fight. Froch couldn't shake it off, but cred to Froch for putting a sensational end and showing he's got more than just will, but a good boxing brain. That thunderous right hand brought back memories of british assassins Benn and Eubank who had some great fight ending right bombs of their own.
