This is my seeing of it. If Groves was able to KD Froch at will, you have to wonder why he didn't.
Essentially Froch underestimated Groves, whereas Groves understood what his advantages were (from sparring) and took advantage of them. I'm not expecting Carl to make the same mistakes again.
Groves actually utilised a fight plan which gave him the very best chance of winning by throwing everything he had at Froch early, without conserving energy for the later rounds. FWIW he would probably be best advised to do the same in a rematch, cept now Froch knows what's coming at him...Comment

no he had a fight plan and decided to fight froch's fight and stay in the pocket and exchange with him. early in the fight, he was moving in and out, using his handspeed to tag froch repeatedly. he pull a khan, gets caught up in the moment and all of a sudden is stayin in the pocket. in the rematch if groves has the stamina he can use his far superior athleticism and speed to outbox an older slower frochThis is my seeing of it. If Groves was able to KD Froch at will, you have to wonder why he didn't.

Could be a very different fight second time around. I think they will both be more cautious in the opening 5/6 rounds.
Froch knows Groves can hurt him early and will be carefull not to give him another chance.
Groves knows that he can't stand his ground against Froch for the whole 12 rounds and will try and pace himself better.
I think it will more of a boxing match this time, at least for the first half of the fight.
After that, if Froch is still the same fighter he was vs Kessler, he will take over and probably stop Groves again, this time, legit.Last edited by kafkod; 02-12-2014, 04:34 PM.Comment
