    After thinking about the fight last night I am still undecided over what was the biggest factor with the knockout last night.

    Nah I think it was just a very good punch. You have to give credit to Groves for getting up though.

    Both.

    As I said before the fight CF is the better FIGHTER and the better MAN. No Froch homo.

    He beat him up once and then he beat him up again. And as he said himself, if he fights ugly kid ten tmes he beats him ten times.

    No disrespect to the headphone wearing one, but he needs to forget about CF now.

    The reason I'm still undecided is that I can't remember the last time Froch delivered a one punch KO.

    Peach of a punch. Don't think Groves is overly chinny but that punch would have stopped plenty of fighters with a better chin than GG.

    I think over the 2 fights froch landed enough good shots to say groves is not chinny he held up to everything apart from that right which would have sent anyone to sleep (apart from if froch hit himself with it then it would just bounce off his own chin haha)

    Massive Punch. To question george's chin on that basis is riddiculous.

    It reminded me of the KO against Brian Magee. That night Froch struggled a bit, was outboxed at times, but settled matters with a single uppercut.

    Remember the Magee KO and the one before Reid? He could always bang.

    True redemption for him would be beating groves or winning one of the 4 belts

    This was a good performance from a man delighted not fighting scrubs in asdas, needs to keep this up before he's truly back

    That was as good a punch as the pacquaio one against Ricky Hatton.

    Just inch perfect. I don't think any super middleweight in the world would have stood up to that.

    I think if you asked Froch, in all honesty has he thrown a better punch, he'd say no. Just a great punch. Wouldn't slate any man for dropping to that.

    In fairness to Groves, he actually was standing by the end of the count. That shows a good chin imo. He was legitimately out when it connected, yet still got up.

    I don't think that punch was any better then what GG threw in the 1st... that was a perfect punch as froch was walking onto it as well.

    GG hasn't got a glass chin but he does show signs of being hurt even when the shot isnt that good.
