    Who has an "elite level" jaw then?
    Who else @168lbs would've got up and continued to take more punches?

    If you put Groves in with a fighter that doesn't have great stamina and a hard punch then groves will do well. He should have taken the stegalitz fight years ago....would have whipped the floor with him.

    I thought Khan made the most poignant points - Amir was right in that Froch should have been deducted at least one point for his foul play.

    He was literally standing square on, no one else takes that punch

    Your statement is stupid because Groves was ahead on the scorecards genius.

    That's always been the case, though. Froch only wins against top level guys through his incredible toughness and heart. He isn't, and never has been, a good boxer.

    I don't think Groves corner helped him much

    Khan did have the gall to mention Frochs dirty tactics and fouling. I guess they still have some bad blood

    Only by a point or so! And with the tide turning, it could well have gone to Froch on points.

    Reminded me a bit of Barrera-Junior Jones.

    Froch's chin was cold, not cracked. Once it warmed up he was taking the shots ok and walking Groves down.

    In terms of dirty fighting Groves went for a few rabbit punches to add to his own headbutt and Froch's forearm punching on the break. But **** it, it's a fight refs job to step in a la Ward Rodriguez.

    His chin is granite.

    He survived in there and ate big shots all night.

    Sums up how I feel...

    Speechless. Corruption at its most blatant, gutted for Groves but his stock has gone up big still
