Groves vs Froch soon?

Groves is coming along nicely a fight against Maggee would be a nice test for him next.. He is imo a little small for super middle at 5.11 would like to see if he could make middle. The size diff on sat in front of his opp was huge.

I want to see Groves against Dirrell, Groves has the movement to eventually clip Dirrell, and when he does, Dirrell's marshmallow chin will either give way, or he will quit Groves has had several sparring sessions with Dirrell already in Miami in the build up to the DeGale fight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyRdb4KEG9s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPCLsSZ4GXQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHxXiSpLIuw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QEh4P6wJlY

I wasn't impressed with Groves. I thought he struggled with a poor opponent. The finish was very good though. he hasnt had much time in the ring in the last year, so i can give him a pass for being a bit rusty. He got better as the fight went on. I thought panicked a bit when he got cut, but only for about 30 seconds or so and once he got to his corner it didnt bother him any more. Ive been wanting Groves v Magee for about 18 months and its still a fight i want to see.

I personally was very impressed with Groves. But I believe in 2 years time Froch should be retired. I don't like this fight unless it's a passing of the torch & Groves goes easy on Froch to give him his last payday & send him unto retirement relatively unscathed.

They are different stages in their careers and I hope froch is retired in 2 years as he's going to be spent by then I would imagine with all the tough back to back fights he taking. Groves looked solid, his left hand needs some work, it doesnt look like it carries much pop and he gets a bit untidy and needs to settle down, but he's coming on well I think. I didnt think he would beat DeFail, but he did, so if they keep progressing with him, he could really shine in the next 18 months. He loves a tear up and happily will get in close and take a few shots to trade. Good power in the right and he's very entertaining, i'll definitely tune in again

2 yrs from now Froch might be retired..He is not getting any younger..But as of now Groves better stay away from Froch..Far away..

lol, that last right-hand is the definition of 'big right hand' It's the sort of punch you throw when hitting those punching balls things at a fun fair. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c1/Punch_Ball_Machine.jpg

perhaps i should qualify further my stance on groves. he's a european level talent and i've said that from the begginning. he always appeared to me to be a modest offensive fighter at best, and he showed that he was not that on saturday. 168 is a good sized man's division. you should really be able to do some damage to somebody of your own size if you're that big. he finally looked to be a potent 168 pounder. his boxing looks to be improving in each fight. he showed good power, took some big punches (against a guy who does not even hit a world class product,) and boxed well over the duration of a long and hard fight. i'm not calling him even a remotely skilled boxer in the purest sense, but he's working on the subleties of his game he had a brutal cut that was really bleeding, and he fought through it like a vet. he looked a hell of a lot better than he looked against degale. he had a lot more snap in his shots and he looked a lot sharper. some of that should be credited to degale, who presents a moving target and has decent offense. talent wise? let be real, he's never going to be andre dirrell. he's got the stuff you cant teach dirrell, though. he's a tough kid I think this is an excellent assessment of the fight and of George's career at present. The way he improves and adjusts is what I like the most about him. Bare in mind, he'd only had 2 rounds in the previous 12 months. Groves used Dirrell as a spar for the Degale fight and by all accounts acquitted himself well. It's actually a fight i'd really like to see in the future.

Just watching round 6, Groves drops his hands like Carl Froch and gets hit a lot like Froch too. Good KO, that right hand lol

it would be fun groves was in with a far less than world class product last night, but he was very impressive what a series of blows he landed for that knockout! brutal the combination that got him going was shades of haye / chisora I wasn't impressed with Groves.
