How did Groves manage to get up? When the ref waved it off he looked like Uma Thurman when she gets the adrenaline injection in Pulp Fiction.
Sounds to me like Froch hasn't much interest in facing Degale. Will prob relinquish to face JCC or some such. Shame cos Froch-Degale would be a hell of an interesting fight imo and potentially another domestic mega-bout which would keep up the momentum in terms of boxing achieving mainstream attention in this country.
Wouldn't sell out Wembley or anything. Degale's time away boxing at Bluewater and the like has definitely affected his brand. Will for sure be a huge fight with the Sky promotional machine behind it though. I see it being at least as big as Froch-Groves 1 (which was pretty bloody big really).
Hearn might offer DeGale step aside money so that he can fight in Vegas against JCC and keep the belt. I'd like him to fight GGG in 168 but I doubt Hearn will sanction that.
Not as exciting as the first fight, but a higher standard of boxing imo. Pleased for Froch but hope Groves's career hasn't been derailed.
