I don't know what Jim Watts or everyone else was watching. i agree 100% with the judges who saw it the way I did.
Body slaps don't count as much as stinging overhand rights that disfigure the guy getting hit. Or jabs that snap the other guys head back.
Froch had a lotof those jabs.
Rounds 2 and 3 were definitely not Froch rounds.
Round 2 was the easiest of them to score. You kidding? Groves did **** all after the knockdown. In round 3, froch got his legs back and began pushing groves. He had several big moments, 3 to be exact. Groves had 1.
i didnt actually score the fight but i thought froch won rounds 3,5, and 8...and 2 was a tight round, i personally favored froch in that one. 76-75 is understandable.
Let's see..
Groves would land several right hands that were clearly parried or on froches glove and the commentary/crowd would go nuts.
All the while Froch would return fire with 3-4 body shots that all would land clean. These are punches fellas. As ugly as his flurries were, they were CLEAN and EFFECTIVE punches to the body that rack on points.
He'd lose the jabbing battle in spots and win it in others, and then land 3 body shots for every one of groves right hands (in the rounds I gave him).
That's pretty much how the fight played out. Do you guys not score body work anymore?
Froch won 2 rounds, maybe 3. Certainly not the embarrassing domination the commentators were talking up.
"Oh, that jab is pawing and missing" when Froch lands three straight, two that snap Groves's head back.
Yes, Froch would land 3 but they'd only talk about the 1 Groves landed. Groves was clean aiming rabbit punches at Froch's head, Froch pushed him against the ropes and landed a couple of punches and they said Froch should have points taken. WTF.......
