That was inexperience on Groves part and exerting too much energy by brawling and being overly macho mid way through the fight.
If Booth was in his corner he would have told him to relax and not go all out like a mad man, when he was clearly winning the fight by a long mile.
Froch was only in with a chance because Groves let him,

Everytime Froch landed a shot, he was countered with a hard hook or a right
Groves didnt need to brawl, but he got to ****y and macho like Amir Khan and stood and traded and came off the victor, but in turn burnt himself out. He was dominating the round prior to that exchange
Groves needs to learn how to fight for the long distance and conserve his energy and fight in spurts, all of which he can fix in a rematch.

I got the feeling throughout the fight that Groves was gunning for the knockout much more than the decision. Hell, he almost got the job done in the first round only to be stopped by the bell...
Its a shame Booth wasn't in his corner, he needed the guy who knows him best to be by his side and talk some sense into him

Put it this way if froch landed the amount that Groves did, this fight would have been over in two or three rounds
