    Same. Groves was shook up and Froch is a great finisher.

      There was one angle which showed the final combo and it looked brutal.

      Maybe early but Groves was gassing quick and Froch wasnt going to stop coming.

        What won't be forgotten is Groves getting KO'd in front of 80000 at Wembley

          I thought so too.

          No way he was surviving.

          The end of the round before that I could that Groves was fading and fast.

              Groves will be remembered for getting KTFO by Froch.

                Froch delivered one of the most devastating knockouts in a long time against Groves in their second fight. If even for that one fight, Froch will never be forgotten. It will be on highlight reels until the end of time.

                  Didn't read the thread, but there had to be at least one attempt at the 80K at Wembley joke?

                  No, Froch would not be forgotten. Your 2nd fight vs him made it a little hard.

                    That's true. And he will be forever only known for ducking Golovkin like a straight up coward.

                      Pretty much this, I remember people telling me how it was a travesty and how the ref ruined his career, I remember looking at it thinking had it lasted 30 more seconds Groves would have been put away, he was all over the place with his eyes closed. Not only that when the ref stopped it he was stumbling around after, it was stopped slightly premature but it looked as though it was going that way, people just got excited because Groves shocked people so they come to the conclusion that Groves was robbed of a win, when in reality Froch was overpowering him.

                      The ref made a decision based on the boxers safety, granted it was slightly premature but it wouldn't have changed the outcome had he let it carry on longer.
