    Looking back on it, given what he did how ****ing cool was that? Don't think anyone expected him to be willing to trade with Froch.

    Can anyone think of any other examples in which this has been done?

    He wasn't 100 percent correct. Said he was only going to throw 2 right hands in the first round, I gave up counting at 10

    He handled everything brilliantly. The pre-fight verbals, everybody writing him off saying he would get KO'd easily, the pressure of the big occasion, turned up to the pre-fight events and the fight itself practically all by himself, fought a great fight and did it all after splitting with his trainer. Groves a G.

    I laughed when he said the game plan at the press conference. Thought it was one of the most embarrassing attempts at mind games ever. But then he went out and actually done it. The guy actually went out, held the centre of the ring, won the jab exchanges and buzzed him with right hands, exactly like he said he would. Impressive stuff.
