Give Froch some credit. He fought an awful fight - being outjabbed by a jabber and sent to the floor in the first round. He took a beating but never gave up. When Groves started to tire he was back in the game and finished the fight - with or without the referee. He may lose the return - if he can“t raise his game. Groves in for harder challenge NeXT time.
I just so want GG to call that arrogant **** ****nose live on Ringside in the pre fight banter.I think Froch would crack.
Froch is scared shitless of GG. He just got bailed out by the IBF who approved a rediculous split of 85% for Froch and a paltry 15% to Groves. In other words, if Groves wants his rematch he has to fight for free. I'd love it if Groves took the challenge and wiped out Froch. Then we cold have Ward vs Groves for it all.
He didn't expect Groves would hit as hard as he did in the first fight and was clearly wide open and reckless. I expect him to come prepared for that in the rematch and be more cautious/respectful of Groves' power.
You do realise your in a seriously small minority who think it was close on the cards? Are you lee froch in disguise?
I'd expect Froch to be prepared the same as last time,Carl was not reckless just nothing he could do,Groves is to good.
Yes he was reckless, you can clearly see in the first round he's attacking with both hands down in obvious arrogance and paid the price for it. In the rematch I expect him to be more defensive in his attacks than charge in with both hands down. I know Groves is good, if he wasn't Froch wasn't going to be knocked down and seriously troubled, not to forget the bull**** stoppage.
Groves can win the rematch with the 1-2. Froch will be coming in more cautious which will play into Groves hand. Groves needs to stick to pot shotting for the first half of the fight and take advantage of the more cautious Froch whilst conserving his energy. Eventually I think Froch will start to unravel and lose his head toward the end of the fight and provided Groves has left more in the tank than last time I think he can better take advantage of the mistakes Froch makes and really unload some hurtful shots.
so you believe groves had shot his load and had **** all left for thoses last 3 rounds them being championship rounds , whilst the champion was coming on stronger :yep as my grandma used to say nearly aint good enough
