    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,
    It was Groves workrate backing him up that had Froch in trouble, taking it easier and letting Froch come forward plays into Froch's hands.

      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...

        It was Groves jab and power and movement which had Froch backing up

        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.

          Yup, probably because of that round 1 KD and Froch looking like he was in trouble throughout the fight.

          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
            Groves dropped Froch with the first big shot he landed. Froch is fragile in the early rounds but his punch resistance seems to somehow improve as the fight goes on.

              I picked Groves the first time, and I'd pick him again. He's the one with the upside and Froch is on his way out.
