      The rematch that is the only reason he has got the hype and I bought into it but to be fair Groves looked the better fighter until the obvious one punch landed.

      Groves is a somewhat good win and it will likely see alot of people ranking Froch as the top dog at 168lbs its time for Andre Ward to come to England and prove he wants to fight Froch no matter the location because he is badly really badly allowing the British smw steal his lime light.

      Saying that I doubt Froch will want to fight Ward over JCC jr due to money reasons.

        he's got a lot of natural talent and doesn't move like a typical european fighter.

              groves will be the #1 at smw when froch and ward retires.

              imo he is the third best fighter behind ward and froch.

                Larry, you were touting Adrien freakin' Broner as the fighter of the Decade, for God's sake (lemme guess - the decade ain't over).

                  I agree with Larry, dude really hadn't fought anybody besides Froch, who stopped him twice. Who was his best win, shot Glen Johnson? He looked like a decent fighter, but it's easy to look good when you haven't fought anybody.


                  Ward was right when he said this was a domestic level fight, a very rich one but a domestic UK fight no doubt.

                    Groves is a solid fighter with a very awkward style for Carl Froch. He still gave him plenty of problems tonight.

                    That said, Groves is a product of the Hayemaker camp. Which means one thing....HYPE.

                      Nobody. But in the first Froch fight he took him into deep waters and proved he's one of the best in the division.
