Comments Thread For: Groves: Carl Froch is Scared of The Damage in Rematch

[~Doublechin~]

Froch took the most damage before, within and after the Groves fight. He wasn't able to hide his emotions before the fight. Groves clearly got under his skin and Froch showed that he did. During Ringside Froch had to ask Hearn what was going on at one point. Froch was losing before the fight occured to a less experienced Groves.

During the fight Groves floored Froch hard in the first round. That damaged Froch's invincible reputation. Credit to Froch for getting back up though. Then Groves stood and traded with Froch and made him back out and move in rounds such as the sixth. Groves showed more heart, speed, skill and power than Froch. Maybe Froch was coming back just before the fight was stopped, or maybe Groves would have caught a second wind and gone onto win, who knows. However, what is clear that during the fight Froch sustained more damage to his reputation that George did.

Finally after the fight when Froch had a chance to redeem himself and give credit where due to George he didn't. Instead he showed arrogance rather than humility. He further sustained damage to reputation and the crowd reflected that.

Froch lost much of his boxing reputation before, during and after that fight. Froch's only win is on paper, some will argue that is all that matters. I'd say going forward George is in a fantastic position and Froch has received significant damage to his career and his self after the fight. The damage is not irreprabale. Froch needs the fight to redeem himself, but i dont think he can. A very risky situation for Froch.

You're acting as if Froch doesn't have a proper moan everytime something doesn't go his way.

the more I step back from the fight the more I respect Froch's performance. GG was beating his azz...the speed deficit was outrageous, talent gap outrageous. But once again, he somehow seem to figure some things out about his distance midway thru, and if there is anything he is excellent at it's distance imo. Untimely stoppage or not ( I felt it was), I think a rematch will present different issues for Groves if he fights the same fight. The good thing is capable of fighting in diff ways, but can he do it the whole fight . I have always put GG on a personal list of the top athletes in boxing, but that's isnt what wins top level fights all the time...he could end up pissing this whole Froch thing away if he cant figure out how to close out the fight properly.

Froch has to fight or drop the title in disgrace? Not exactly. The IBF ordered a rematch but also have a statutory purse split which Froch is fully entitled to enforce. If Groves won't accept that then HE'S the one who will be walking away from the fight, even though his first time try merits a rematch and we'd all love to see it.

I will never understand the Froch hate. The dude fights everyone, wins, and gives great insight and great entertainment. Some people just got to hate.

Because some of us have integrity, honesty and are boxing fans not fanboys.

We are still waiting for Froch to accept the rematch, wonder what's taking him so long.
