If I was Groves

I wouldn't go for an immediate rematch with Froch, I'd go after Stieglitz, take his WBO strap, then I'd fight Kessler build up his resume a bit then fight Froch again in 2015, Froch will be 2 years older and Groves's hit and move in and out style will knock the old man Froch out. Groves introduced himself on the world stage last night, I think that fight will take it's toll on Froch in future bouts, if I were Froch I'd have a homecoming in Nottingham against a top 5 SMW and retire on top, one day all these big shots will catch up on him. Maybe even a third match with Kessler in the states then end his career there. A new British star was born last night.

**** off with those excuses for froch cos he sure as **** isn't making them. It was an epic war between two fighters at the top of their respective games and coming off the best training of each of their careers, but don't take my word for it as the cobra himself says pretty much the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yda5Gj6g8Kg Yoz is a ****ing retard he must be from Nottingham.

Its clear Froch underestimated Groves. His foray into Dancing on Ice and ballooned ego after Kessler II meant he cut corners. He thought he could walk through Groves; however, as we saw, it was more competitive than most imagined. **** off with those excuses for froch cos he sure as **** isn't making them.

Froch stops Groves in an immediate rematch; heck, he would have KO'd him in round 9 if the ref hadn't dived in. I'd advise you guys to watch the fight with the sound off. Yes, it was a premature stoppage. Yes, Froch looked terrible. But Groves was tiring bad. IMO, Froch was coming on strong and would have finished him. Those blaming Froch/Hearn are morons. It WASN'T a robbery or a fix. It was just a premature stoppage. Explain a 76-75 scorecard dude.

What did he say? I agree, I dont think Hearn will do a rematch anyway. Here is a bit of it, bout halfway through http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e92wlVnxJs Was saying Groves had no chance before the match too

Stieglitz is actually a very solid fighter himself. Him vs Groves could be an even fight.
