I think we can all agree, Froch got lucky and was losing that fight.

I thought the tide had turned the 2 rounds prior, and that KO was gonna come sooner or later. Froch did enough body work to make Groves lower his hands just enough to land a bomb sooner or later.

Was clearly losing the first fight and lucky stoppage,
Was being outfoxed by an inexperienced kid lastnight and landed a lucky punch.

Groves has fought no one and was made look world class by an overrated Carl Froch.

I think he should retire.

Hahahaha, he should retire yes he ducking Ward

talking about a lucky punch, look at your signature. pure fluke.

That's what happened, Froch's bodywork slowed Groves down enough for him to become susceptible to those shots. Not to mention that Froch landed that right hand a few times in the fight but the last time Groves was starting to feel the pace, slowed down and caught it flush.

That wasn't luck, that was a beautiful execution of a specific game plan.

Funny you should mention this, it is similar to the lucky punch JMM landed on Pac, when Pac was dominating JMM and going for the ko.

so.... George got... Grovesquiao'd???

Behave yourself.

I had Groves up by a round, but even after the first round McCracken told Froch to look for the overhand right - it was in no way luck and a perfect punch after backing him up against the ropes.

Solid effort from Froch. And a much deserved win.

I agree but I had Groves up 5-2 when the punch came.

The interesting thing is that Froch had just taken a hard clean hook from Groves to move forward and land that shot.

Groves messed up and kept trying to time the left hook when that's not his thing. I think he should have stuck with the jab and right hand.

he was losing on points but he was winning the fight. groves was wearing down and even though he was doing well scoring wise in the 7th and 8th rounds froch was controlling the pace and making it his kind of fight.

like carl said going in, groves cant do 12 rounds with him. lots of fighters could beat froch in a 6 round fight, its being able to maintain it thats the tricky part. if they fought 100 times groves might get stopped while up on points every time, nothing lucky about it.

Yep!!

Totally agreed I was saying that during the fight, I simply wish he stuck to trying to land his right hand it looked alot more plausible albeit Groves did land some lefts but it was clear after a few rounds his left didn't have as much venom as he thought.

He done pretty good though before being KTFO.

Groves was up and abandoned his game plan. He didn't set the right up enough off of the jab. Move to your right, double jab and shoot the right straight down the middle. Froch has bad balance and can't land the jab when you move laterally.
