Carl Froch vs George Groves

Supup

Ww, I was supporting Groves but respect to Froch. He dominated from start to finish.

PS waht a twat Amir Khan is to say Groves was in control...

GreNoLi

nice touch.

Groves is rightly knackered. He'll end up in Hospital yet tonight.

What are you talking about, Groves was winning.

keeponhurling

I had Groves winning by 2.

I was going to say that it came down to stronger chin, but really it was some punch by Froch. Not many could have taken that and kept going

Not at all up to that great shot Groves was ahead.

Talib Fiasco

That was simply stunning... I had Groves in command but you cannot do anything about that. Fair play to Froch. On course for a rematch vs. Ward you'd feel.

All the whoppers out tonight it seems

It wasn't domination, stop listening to that borderline disgraceful commentary. I had it level at a stretch, with Groves probably ahead. I can see Froch being ahead MAYBE by a round given that rounds were close, but I wouldn't have agreed. Very close fight until Froch landed a beautiful right hand.

Decent fight, but commentary ruined it for me. Spent more time annoyed about what they were saying than the fight. You could tell Paulie disagreed with them but was trying to keep it friendly, for lack of a better word.

The feint with the left was absolutely beautiful in the lead up to that shot. Groves was coming into the fight and looked a lot fresher up until that point.

Imagine paying €22 for that.

sid waddell

Froch proved he's the better fighter both in terms of controlling the fight and in finishing. Devastating.

For what its worth lads (and its known as a great judge), the betting exchanges (betfair et al) had Froch ahead

Great shot by Froch to end it, I thought Groves started well and won the first couple of rounds.

But once Froch settled around the 5th he took command and wore down Groves with some great body shots.

Good day at the office for Froch

The punch was worth €22 all night long.

Steve Bunce had it 4-3 Groves.

Anyways, doesn't matter when you can hit like that

I actually had Groves winning the 8th until that punch landed

Kirby

I do think Froch has a broken nose though. He was protecting it and its swollen up since the fight ended.

Jim Watt was on top form tonight alright.

I had Groves round 11 and Froch round 9, so close, yet so far.

Personally had Froch up myself up until that punch. Some rounds were close and could have gone either way.

Some people need to calm down when it comes to scoring. All about perception lads.

tayto lover

Froch was ahead and controlling the fight until the 8th round. Some finish. Great punch. Deserving.

AngeGal

It was close enough with my very limited knowledge, froch ahead by 2 maybe. Always seemed that Groves was more affected by Froch's punches than vice versa though, except the one left Groves landed in rnd 7.

sid waddell

Froch dominated from rounds 3 to 6. First two were even, Groves won 7 and was ahead in 8 until the knockout. Groves had the momentum at the time and may have come strong had the fight gone on but Froch pulled out a beauty.

nilsonmickey

At no point in that match was groves ahead.

Hollister11

It finished in the 8th didn't it ?

I believe the outcome depends on Groves' gameplan. My verdict: Froch by KO

Ahem.

obezyana

That was some punch. Groves could not complain about that.

Froch should retire on that finish.

Talib Fiasco

Actually thinking about it now I'd love Froch to fight Chavez Jr. in Vegas because it'd be a great fight. Ward would beat him incredibly easy in a rematch tbh.

Deiseboy01

Decent fight. I had Froch ahead slightly. Not getting the hate for Watt here. He was close enough to calling it right in my book. That said Paulie was a breath of fresh air. Insightful.

Called a Froch KO. Wrong round though.

De Gale now or Chavez would be interesting scraps. If I were Froch it'd be Chavez. De Gale is a tricky test for Froch. One he'd be advised to avoid now. Go to Vegas. Get the dream fight. Then take the chance v Ward.

Groves' chin will be tested again at one point or another, if it becomes a war Froch does have better chin

For that reason I'll go for Froch by late stoppage again

Ahem also

I'm not a massive boxing fan. But I really couldn't understand why the Sky commentary team were so painfully biased towards Froch, even if I thought he was edging it before the KO they kept bigging him up for the smallest things and giving Groves more backhanded compliments that credit when he did well

amkin25

Still when u compare it to the first fight,froch just was the bigger stronger fighter all the way,groves was in and out all night tonight but didn't do anywhere near the damage he did in the first fight.
Can get peoples points on watt but i thought myself he was controlling the fight,groves wasn't doing enough considering froch was pressing the action most of the time.

A bit late but... Boom

He is a warrior and I love that.
