Night night George. Anyone with an entrance like that deserves to go the way of Apollo Creed. Groves is a great talent but froch showed his class. Great fight all in all.
Thought Groves was doing ok for first 5 rounds. Thought Froch looked more cagey. I'm no expert but was it a tactic of just hiding his time sort of thing? Granted Froch appeared to get better as fight went on. But Groves, to me, appeared to be landing the cleaner shots. Then... BOOM.
It's probably too simplistic a view but i thought Groves should have took the fight to Froch like the first one. Everything he threw in the first one landed
The first one wasn't a lost cause of anything in his game plan and last night he was starting to get on top and hit all the cleanest shots, it's the nature of the sport that something like that can happen t any second.
But in the first fight Groves took the centre of the ring and was coming forward. Last night he was more susceptible to that knockout punch because he was on the backfoot and up against the ropes
He was on the back foot the whole time against De Gale and beat him. He hit Froch with everything last time as couldn't finish him so there wasn't gonna work this time probably. If that had kept going last night I think Groves would have won on points
thought it was a good fight, froch had the tactics spot on. groves needed to force froch to open up and get involved more toe to toe. but he didn't, he held back for the most.
Smaller ring really fucked Groves over. I think Froch was always going to win. Had his jab on the go. Think Groves would have lost for sure if he had of gone at him like the first time. But he was starting to build momentum and it would have been interesting to see how it would have gone if he wasn't sparked out. Froch has some chin on him and Groves isn't anywhere near it.
Will be interesting. Martinez will be a different animal now I'd imagine with the confidence he's had from winning the title and defending it on the road. Will be a good fight
Hall vs Butler and cotto vs Martinez tonight on box nation. Parrrrfullll. Fancy cotto tonight think he will have more hunger tonight. Especially considering Martin Murray near stopped Martinez in his last fight. Will be fucking epic
