    Anyone who watched it did groves impress you?

    Groves never knocked him down or stopped him Murray fought back many times and made groves work for the win

    i would say it was a solid win

    Good win, but still exposed some of his flaws yet again. Murray even had him wobbled, and Murray is no puncher.

    Solid win. I thought Groves was up against it, which he was, but still fought better than I expected.

    As expected, a one sided victory for Groves surely ending Murray's career.

    Groves did win easily enough but GGG's performance was far more impressive if that's what you are getting at.

    Groves has become a mentally flawed fighter since the Froch fights, he needs a confidence boost and as much as they talked up this win it just goes to show how far he has fallen since Froch.

    I expected Groves to KO Murray, so I wasn't that impressed.

    5/10

    Maybe Froch severely under estimated Groves first time around. Groves seems an alphabet belt holder at best if lucky, right now. Not a superstar in the making as some may have thought earlier in his career. Maybe this is all he ever was. I thought he would have beaten Jack very easily.

    I still think he will beat Chudinov quite easily.

    He did drop Murray at the end of the 9th IIRC although the ref didn't count it.

    Groves was ahead on one of the cards and behind by a point on the other two in the rematch.

    Both Froch fights where very close but people seem to think that due to the ko Froch was walking the rematch.

    As for Groves v Murray I'd rate it a 7. When watching the fight I couldn't help but feel that both Golovkin and Ward walk through Groves with little problem.

    Solid win? What has this Murray done??? He couldn't even beat a past prime wounded Martinez! He'll little Cotto showed him how it's done! Even looked like SRR doing it lol

    I don't think Groves has been the same since losing Booth. He seems to really have brought the best out of him and then he lost him right before the first Froch fight about 10 weeks out. . While Groves still looked explosive in that fight he has not since. Including what unfolded in the Froch fights it may have been the perfect storm of all these circumstances that ruined Groves.
