Groves vs Froch Rematch Who Do You Have Winning Now?

Groves only mistake was getting careless at times and brawling, he didn't need to exert that much energy, he was landing at will all night, especially with that jab and right Had Booth been in his corner I think he wud have talked some sense into Groves and told him to relax. Its amazing Groves went into this fight without the guy who got him this far. In a rematch I have Groves winning by a early to mid round stoppage Also I think him and Booth will get back together, backstage after the fight Booth was crying and hugging him Booth is a good trainer and Groves skill set was evident, just a little inexperienced and a horrible ref who let Froch cheat and then win via dodgy stoppage. I don't fancy Froch chances in a rematch, there is nothing he can do to cope with the speed and power. This time around all Groves has to do is not go all out and brawl, just time his shots like he was doing early on.

I picked Groves the first time, and I'd pick him again. He's the one with the upside and Froch is on his way out.

I stand by my assertion that Groves is a fragile fighter, as I say he wasn't hit much at all in this fight but whenever he was he seemed hurt. Froch despite going down was "better" able to take Groves shots Put it this way if froch landed the amount that Groves did, this fight would have been over in two or three rounds Groves dropped Froch with the first big shot he landed. Froch is fragile in the early rounds but his punch resistance seems to somehow improve as the fight goes on.

I got the feeling throughout the fight that Groves was gunning for the knockout much more than the decision. Hell, he almost got the job done in the first round only to be stopped by the bell... :boxing: Yup, probably because of that round 1 KD and Froch looking like he was in trouble throughout the fight. Its a shame Booth wasn't in his corner, he needed the guy who knows him best to be by his side and talk some sense into him

It was Groves workrate backing him up that had Froch in trouble, taking it easier and letting Froch come forward plays into Froch's hands. It was Groves jab and power and movement which had Froch backing up Everytime Froch landed a shot, he was countered with a hard hook or a right Groves didnt need to brawl, but he got to ****y and macho like Amir Khan and stood and traded and came off the victor, but in turn burnt himself out. He was dominating the round prior to that exchange Groves needs to learn how to fight for the long distance and conserve his energy and fight in spurts, all of which he can fix in a rematch.

He wont have the option to do what he did in the last 2 rounds because Groves will not give him it That was inexperience on Groves part and exerting too much energy by brawling and being overly macho mid way through the fight. If Booth was in his corner he would have told him to relax and not go all out like a mad man, when he was clearly winning the fight by a long mile. Froch was only in with a chance because Groves let him, I got the feeling throughout the fight that Groves was gunning for the knockout much more than the decision.

Groves did hurt him and Groves was the better boxer, that's why Froch won't try boxing him in a rematch, he'll do what he was doing the last few rounds.

If they re-matched in the states, Groves will likely win. He just tired out but the stoppage was premature and Groves can make the needed adjustments while Froch might be stuck in the mud.

There was nothing wrong with his jaw in the post fight interview he wouldn't shut up. :lol1: he did go on and on, but the interviewer didn't stop him which was annoying.

I think Froch would take him by late KO. Next time Froch wouldn't get careless like he did in round 1 and he would eventually wait until Groves gets tired and then he'll KO him.

Booth would have got Groves not to try and counter everything. Especially as he was getting tired. Froch is a supremely conditioned athlete though - no question. So a late stoppage is always on the cards. Groves with a decision win but having to cling on at the end. I don't think Froch can be stopped. That combination Groves landed should have been enough to knock the fucker out 6 times over. I was rooting for Froch, but imho, he was saved by the bell in the first round. So i think he can be stopped. Agree with Groves getting tired.... but that was one of the worst stoppages in boxing.

He got put on his arseee in round 1, that's why he was on the backfoot Groves jab was knocking his head back Froch couldn't cope with the movement speed and power and pace. he looked like a old man with poor footwork Groves was clearly the better boxer Groves will come into a rematch, way more accurate, knowing he can hurt Froch and out jab him and run circles around him Frochs only hope is if Groves resorts to doing what Amirr Khan does and getting to brave Also for Froch better hope Booth isn't back in the corner with Groves Groves did hurt him and Groves was the better boxer, that's why Froch won't try boxing him in a rematch, he'll do what he was doing the last few rounds.

He was on the back foot before anyone even threw a punch, he was getting caught when he was trying to land from range, as the fight went on he got close before throwing, he tried to box the first half of the fight he won't do that again.

Froch again, but he'll need to learn to defend the right hand. The other thing is, the coverage said his jaw was damaged. It will be interesting to hear the extent of the injury. There was nothing wrong with his jaw in the post fight interview he wouldn't shut up.

Groves is a good boxer, but I always believed Froch would catch up with Groves at some point and get him out of there. I think the rematch would be similar, but then I don't know how much longer Froch is going to go on. He was looking a bit old in there at times.

Exact same result as tonight, same thing happens 10 times out of 10. Groves began to tire in the 5th, I said to those next to me that his punches were now just bouncing off Froch. As soon as Froch realised he was tiring and started to take center, the fight swung his way.
