I'd have George winning the 7th but like the rest of your scorecard, as a Froch fan what are your feelings on him refusing to shake hands straight after the fight and some of his comments in the post fight interview?
See i'm a Groves fan myself, and thought some of the things he said to get under Carl's skin was a bit petty but I also felt like he was seen as an outcast because he wasn't the matchroom fighter and had to switch camps so played up on it a bit.
Froch gave George lots of Credit in the interview i heard, He is never going to say he was going to loose if the fight wasnt stopped. George faught very well, I thought he would win the early rounds, didnt see the knockdown coming though, it was a fantastic punch and Carl deserves credit for Getting up. George was in serious trouble in the 9th, but the ref did a disservice to Froch for not letting him finish off Groves IMO. Froch always gets better the longer the fight goes and would suit the old 15 round fights perfectly.
And yes he should have shook hands straight away, but you dont know what was being said in the ring, GGs trainer was mouthing off a bit!!
Also I have always been a Groves fan, and loved it when he beat Degale.
I would like to see GG fight Degale again as GG has improved a great deal since thier fight where Degale has not impressed me at all recently.
Froch Groves My Scorecard
Im a Froch fan, rewatched the fight twice now and saw it live. Here is my Take
Groves Froch
1 10 8
2 10 9
3 10 9
4 10 9
5 9 10
6 10 9
7 9 10
8 9 10
Groves 3 point up.
Froch was winning the 9th.
IMO Groves gave everything in the 6th and had nothing left.
Only one way this fight was going to end was Froch stopping Groves.
Howard Foster should have let the fight go on and Give The Cobra the clear Stoppage.
Froch does not deserve all the comments that are flying about at the moment, he has just beaten a very good young hungry skilled fighter and again showed a great chin, stamina and heart.
A rematch will be the same, Groves winning the early rounds with Froch wearing him down in the second half and forcing the stoppage.
I picked groves in the first fight so did Virgil Hunter, Wards trainer.
I pick Groves to destroy Froch this time, and Froch knows he will
be in for it more so from anyone he has ever faced.
Yeh, groves was that good he lost.
Groves will destroy Froch again and loose again.
The fight only doesn't happen if Groves thinks he's too big a name to take his 15%. The ball is squarely in his court now - how much does he want that title?
The offer's on the table - if Groves doesn't want it, there's no one else to blame.
agree with this
Groves cried for rematch with IBF.
He got it
Rules state he gets 15%
He should get 15% and not a penny more weather he deserve it or not, and if he doesn't like it then boofukinhoo!!!!!!
plus his attempt to get the fight ruled a no contest is a complete joke.
Price wins by a country mile....
At least Khan has fought at a decent level and won world titles.
Price is not even near to be best in Britain.
Enzo Mac has some seriously suspect whiskers also.
Both very Interesting fights.
He has the style to beat Froch but his habit of lying on the ropes against a guy like Carl would be disastrous. And i'm not sure he has the power to gain his respect.
The rematch with Groves is what i want to see, Groves seems to have improved more considering his recent performances. But the first was close, 2nd would be too. I don't see Groves stopping him though, Degale is pretty elusive when he wants to be
Agree with your comment about Degale lying on the ropes. Froch would land some big shots sooner or later
Got my hotel booked, 5 mins walk from Wembley.
Going to be a terrible view unless your prepared to pay top dollar.
The cheapest tickets are going to be £30.00 and will be 1/4 mile from the ring.
I don't mind paying £80ish for tickets but not convinced the view will be any good.
Payed £80.00 for Tickets at MEN ant back of first tier and view was really good.
If your at the top at Wembley your just going to be watching big screens.
Should have been at city ground with cheapest seats at £60.00 imo
Hard fight to call but I hope groves wins. On a side note I tried all day to get tickets, never got through once, devastated.
I couldn't get tickets either. Seems like most have been snapped up by touts and are on sale on various websites at 3 and 4 time face value.
really pisses me off as I have not missed a froch fight in England
Name me one win from Joe that is better than Ward's win against Froch.
Thanks
What about Joes Magnificent display againsed the formidable Evans Ashira.
Or the Lesson he gave ATG Manfreeeeedo Jnr
Calzaghes best career wins were as follows.
1. Kessler
2. Prime Robin Reid ( many had Reid winning this fight )
3. A Vastly overated Lacy
4. 70 year old Eubank
5. 75 year old BHOP
No other fights with elite fighters, mainly complete bums who should never have been given the right to a World title fight
So please explain to my why you are even posting here?
Because its a poor fight, that Floyd wins easily and is not worth paying for. Maidana lost to Khan!!!! how the hell will he give Floyd a decent fight?
Another Floyd easy nights work for millions, I wont be contributing.
Shame Leeds doesn't have a top class fighter, there is no atmosphere like Elland Road would be awsome to see them behind a top fighter!
Elland Road!!!!!!!!! Atmosphere was pretty quiet when our 6th and 7th Goal wemt in.
'Kessssssssler'
