    After witnessing a horrific KO of Groves from a measly straight right, has this glass shattering put Saint George amongst the p4p elite in glass mandibles? If Khan had reacted as such he would be skewered so please be impartial.

    Debate commence...

    he took good shots throughout the whole fight, eating a punch like that from a hard puncher will put anyone on their back

    Groves has a slightly above to good chin

    Abraham Johnson and Kessler have great chins, Ward has a great defense, maybe that's why

    No, it's definitely not a case of glass chin.

    That punch was a fully charged right straight on the mandible's side, a perfect punch on a perfect spot.
    It had so much momentum behind he even turned entire Groves body to the side.
    Nobody would have taken that punch without going down.

    What's really surprising is how did it manage to land. It didn't look like Froch was trying that strategy all night long, and Froch has never been a one-punch koer. Never.

    Always an accumulation puncher. And Groves took dozens of his best shots in the first fight without ever going down.

    Not a glass chin, a perfect shot. Case closed.

    Now all the maggots are coming out of the woodwork to denigrate one GREAT talent. You guys are just ridiculous!! Give Groves some credit he fought once again a great fight and was hit by a PERFECT punch that would have put down everyone. Just show this warrior some deserving respect!

    There was a little foreshadowing in the first fight when Groves was turning away from Froch when he was prematurely stopped. That isn't a good reaction to somebody who is willing withstand the shots coming at himself. I wasn't surprised at all. Froch was simply waiting to turn on the pressure.

    Yeah Groves has a glass jaw and zero recuperative abilities

    he might replace Khan as the poster child for british glass jaws

    Not. He talked a lot of **** and got iced. He's a good talent, not a great one. He's more breakdancer than Warrior, evident by that leg drop he pulled after Froch caved his face in.
