    If I was Groves

    I wouldn't go for an immediate rematch with Froch, I'd go after Stieglitz, take his WBO strap, then I'd fight Kessler build up his resume a bit then fight Froch again in 2015, Froch will be 2 years older and Groves's hit and move in and out style will knock the old man Froch out.

    Groves introduced himself on the world stage last night, I think that fight will take it's toll on Froch in future bouts, if I were Froch I'd have a homecoming in Nottingham against a top 5 SMW and retire on top, one day all these big shots will catch up on him. Maybe even a third match with Kessler in the states then end his career there.

    A new British star was born last night.

    Stieglitz is actually a very solid fighter himself. Him vs Groves could be an even fight.

      I doubt Froch will still be around in 2 years time, and if he is, he will have declined even more. Immediate rematch is the only option.

        froch only has about 2 fights left in him by the looks of it

        groves needs to jump on the opportunity of a rematch if it's offered

            What did he say? I agree, I dont think Hearn will do a rematch anyway.

              Here is a bit of it, bout halfway through



              Was saying Groves had no chance before the match too

                Froch stops Groves in an immediate rematch; heck, he would have KO'd him in round 9 if the ref hadn't dived in.

                I'd advise you guys to watch the fight with the sound off. Yes, it was a premature stoppage. Yes, Froch looked terrible. But Groves was tiring bad. IMO, Froch was coming on strong and would have finished him.

                Those blaming Froch/Hearn are morons. It WASN'T a robbery or a fix. It was just a premature stoppage.

                  Its clear Froch underestimated Groves. His foray into Dancing on Ice and ballooned ego after Kessler II meant he cut corners. He thought he could walk through Groves; however, as we saw, it was more competitive than most imagined.
