Carl Froch vs. George Groves RBR

Round 1

Groves is squatting and jabbing the body. Groves lunges with a 1-2 to Froch's midsection and Froch lashes him with a backhanded jab between the eyes. Froch is circling left and stretching out his left jab into the bridge of Groves' nose. Groves keeps his center of gravity low and swings his left arm down by his waist. Jabs traded from mid-range and they clinch up as Groves is clapping his right across the back of Froch's head. Upward right by Groves, nicks Froch on the face as they circle past each other. Froch is flicking jabs up from the hip. Double jab, right hand by Groves, backing Froch up. Double jab wristed out by Froch. Right hand by Groves. Froch leaps in with a power shot loaded up but is DROPPED HARD BY A COUNTER RIGHT HAND. Froch rises and slugs furiously with Groves for the last few seconds before the untimely bell.

10-8 Groves
