    Definitely some close rounds in there.
    I gave Froch a couple too. Regardless, Watt was giving him no credit for anything.

      I think Froch maybe won 1 round in those 6 on my card. 2 tops. Even if some of the rounds may have been relatively close, I just felt they were fighting Groves' fight. Groves was superior in every department and always getting the better of the exchanges.

      I've never seen Froch fight so tentatively. He was literally flicking air with his jab. And when he did throw caution to the wind, he'd get tagged badly.

        It is, but you have to think it'll catch up with him in later life. Hopefully not but he takes a lot of hard fights and never puts his hands up to defend himself.

          I think the KD changed the fight. Made him a little gun shy.

          Think I gave him 2 of the first 6 then 7,8 he started going to work.

          Definitely up for grabs in my eyes in Championship rounds.

            Unbelievable. He deserves more credit than he's getting. The man was out on his feet in the first round. Then later in the fight, he literally starts squaring up and taking flush shots. Crazy stuff.

              I personally think he won't see the canvas in the second fight.

              That was a perfect shot right on the chin.

                  I said before the fight to my friend, "I think Froch will go down tonight". I never expected him to be that badly hurt though. No one has done that to him.

                  He walked straight onto it. He squares himself up too much, puts his back leg in front of his lead leg when he throws a right hand. It's a bad flaw.

                    Froch is a flawed fighter, with no talent or boxing, but he makes it all up with his chin and power, however he doesn't have 1 punch ko power. Groves has that 1 punch ko power, groves out gunned and out boxed him. The referee robbed us all.

                      Tis one of his worser flaws.

                      When it landed I was shocked, I thought he might be stopped that round.

                      Soon as he survived the round I knew he'd be ok though.

                      Was just a perfect shot.

                      Grove's chin is what shocked me the most in this fight though.
