    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 is a talented fighter and he's going all the way but Froch won't be there when he reaches the top.

      I've never liked the fact his style is so similar to Haye's though. Haye gets away with it at heavyweight as he's got good reflexes and his speed compensates a lot.

        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.

          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.

            Groves has had several sparring sessions with Dirrell already in Miami in the build up to the DeGale fight.

              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.
