Carl Froch vs George Groves IBF SMW Title & Undercards Prediction Discussion Thread

Also, Jim Watt needs firing immediately. His worst performance possibly to date.

I'm absolutely sick of Watt.

Every fight he picks someone to back and then backs them no matter what the opponent does.

Groves looked good but call it from a neutral perspective ffs.

Here's the GIF. Froch landed a couple of decent punches during that sequence, but nothing to suggest that Groves couldn't survive the next minute or land a heavy counter shot what he has success with all night.

Wow, Groves didn't even look hurt if anything he looked tired. I see nothing in that sequence that suggests he wasn't gonna make it out of the round, Froch was missing a lot and Groves was still throwing and landing shots.

Great fight.

Definitely not a "domination" like people are making out. Groves winning but close fight IMO.

I felt Froch would have got him out of there if not in that round then in the next 3.

Also, Jim Watt needs firing immediately. His worst performance possibly to date.

What fight was you watching? Groves got a 10-8 round 1, and dominated almost every round untill that point? you could even have made a case for 10-8 on round 6 froch was out on his feet bombed.

Watt is too emotional/excitable. I can understand that as a fan, but he's supposed to be an neutral analyst too. His analysis goes more off his emotion rather than what's actually happening.

He was hurt. He took a huge shot and sagged on the ropes. He was just swinging back aimlessly. He then took another two huge punches. He was badly hurt. The other camera angle shows it better. Don't get it twisted.

The stoppage was terrible though.

Jim Watt calling Groves a "hero" was a little strange.

I did think Froch was clearly losing though, I gave him maybe 2 rounds out of 8. The scorecards were a joke.

His performance was just absurd and terrible.

I had the fight closer than you though. Groves definitely winning but I thought it was close.

I think what you're saying is just not the truth.

How can you honestly feel that Groves "dominated" every round. He clearly didn't.

He was winning the fight but it just simply was not a domination.

And Round 6 was far from a 10-8.

*froch lands a combo "Theres nothing on these shots frum Frooooch" *Groves counters the combo with one punch "Groooves is getting the better of aaaall of these exchangeeees"

Andhis voice is ****in horrible

Exactly, maybe it was a bit premature but Groves was turning his back on Froch and to me that's not defending yourself.

Why is everyone hating on Froch, he got knocked silly in round 1 and yet again proved he's a warrior and delivered an immensely entertaining fight. He didn't stop the fight, the ref did.

He was hurt. He took a huge shot and sagged on the ropes. He was just swinging back aimlessly. He then took another two huge punches. He was badly hurt. The other camera angle shows it better. Don't get it twisted.

Yeah, he said he was hurt in the post-fight interview. Not finished, but hurt for sure.

You said it, the keyword people are mistaken a "tired" stumble for Chavez vs Taylor type of beating.

He didn't even take heavy shots, In fact i would love to see the compubox carl was mainly landing on the gloves and arms.

Then again who wants to see the "matchroom compubox" numbers
