    Groves proved me wrong tonight. He's better than I thought.

    But I don't mean great as in, an ATG. I mean it would have been a great memory as a turn around and considered favourable as opposed to against him.

      He lost, but he won. Froch knows. I would like to take this time out to recognize George's strength by not unloading with a left-right combination that would put the ref in a hospital. I would not have that same strength.

          Groves has one heck of a career ahead of him. David Haye lost early in his career in a similar fashion and went on to have one hell of a career only losing to Wlad once after.

            Hearn says he thinks Froch might've broken his jaw

              Groves better than I thought. Classic Froch though, slow in hand and foot, technically deficient but a grade A chin and somehow gets the job done in the end.

                Too much hype .. let's get real, Froch was coming on strong; Ref stole away a decisive KO for Froch, than anything regarding Groves.

                  Groves looks completely out of it himself.

                  It's just ridiculous to me to say he didn't take any punishment.

                  His face and listening to him speak here you can see it's quite clear he took a whole lot of punishment in this fight.

                    They both took a lot of punishment, they both looked sloppy as hell.

                      The commentators ruined this fight for me.

                      They would've had you believe it was a shutout at the time of the stoppage. I think I had Groves up by a point.

                      I have no doubt that Groves would've been spark out if it had gone on 5-10 seconds longer and Froch wouldn't be taking any of the hate he's getting for what would've been a clear cut knockout victory.
