Was George Groves Crying When...

[Kris Silver]

At the time, the DeGale rematch was the biggest fight available to Groves and I believe he chose to fight Paul Smith instead. A guy who DeGale toyed with and knocked out. Then he fought a line of other bums.

Claiming he "bashed up" DeGale in a 1 point majority decision which most thought he lost

It's huge hypocrisy. I want to see the rematch between Froch-Groves but I would just as easily laugh my **** off if Froch told him to *** off. Froch holds the cards here, not Groves.

Took Degale 9 rounds to TKO him, Groves done him in 2.

In any case you have a point. I just think they are different scenario's, and levels of call for a rematch. I'd like to think Froch will do the rematch, I'd respect him a bit more again if he did. But yes, the two of these characters have shown they don't always do or say the desired/popular thing.

DeGale battered him and outclassed him for 9 rounds. Groves fought him after that fight and got clipped himself in the first round before the KO in R2.

By the same token, Carl Froch is at a different level of his career than where Groves was. He has earned the right to do whatever he wants. And you know that he'll take a big fight even if it's not Groves.

Groves was a prospect gloating about ducking rematches and then fighting bums.

Relax. Degale should get himself in a position to make the rematch happen. Or try get Froch...
The Anderson fight was stopped quickly, not sure if it was early haven't re watched it for some time. There was some bad blood post fight so I'm not too bothered about a rematch not happening.
I like all three for different reasons. Be good if Froch decides to hang round and cash out in a few big domestic clashes!!

DeGale was in a position to get an immediate rematch as was Anderson. Both very controversial fights and Groves b1tched out so he's in no position to be demanding a proven champion like Froch do anything.

Looks like Froch has been reading my posts



Skip to around 11.15. Froch absolutely owns Groves about not giving rematches to DeGale or Anderson. Ugly Kid didn't even know what to say at the end and just giggled like a girl and said "OK cool Carl"

...he got a gift decision against James DeGale?

Or how about when he was floored and in bad trouble against Kenny Anderson only to get a premature stoppage in the next round?

Groves refused to give either guy a rematch and even gloated about that fact - he posted a picture on Twatter of himself dumping the British title in a bin so he wouldn't have to defend against Anderson. He claimed he "bashed up" DeGale (it was a 1 point Majority Decision) so didn't need to rematch him.

Now I think last night's stoppage was disgraceful and that Groves was clearly winning but I'm personally not going to have too much sympathy for him.

He was stripped off the title - he didn't dump it.

That's what Groves does.

Sometimes he'll just stare into space with a ******ed look on his face.

I really think he's mentally challenged.

This is a guy who actually said "Are you gonna cry? He's gonna cry!" like an 8 year old child.

When Froch said "What's happening right now?" to Hearn, due to the sheer idiocy from Groves, ******ed Groves took it literally.

Not only that but people thought Groves won the verbal exchange.

No, he literally dumped it in the bin.

No, he literally dumped it in the bin.

I know. and I get the reference to the picture.

But it was made after Groves was stripped off the title.

It wasn't a gift, people need to stop calling close toss up fights ''gifts''.
