I thought he would be defeated by Eubank but he won in good style. A very good win for a solid champion.

Was a massive fan of him when he was coming up, he completely turned me off with the whole Frisch thing. But it’s easy when you are a fan of froch for that to happen. Since then I have felt sorry for him because I thought he would never win a world title. The Murray fight put his career back on track and then finally winning the world title sealed it. I picked him to lose to Eubank because I thought he was war torn and Eubank was fresh and getting at the right time, he proved me wrong with his perfect tactics and more power to him.

So glad he won on Saturday as I thought he'd get outlasted. Is closing his career strong.
Should be out of the game at aged 31 and then onto the next thing after making millions.
He's a complex guy. I wish he sparked out Froch in the first 1 though and in the 1st round. Would have been epic. It's a strange one to look at him having two stoppage defeats to Froch in one of which he was sent to the moon. He probably deserves a win over Froch, tbh
Arrogance cost him a little in the Froch rematch. He kept speaking about doing him with a hook and he got smashed to bits while throwing one. Jack fight was close and Groves was training himself virtually.
He's one of them, I dunno if its because I like him but you can near enough excuse all his losses.
I want him to win the tournament. Spark Degale. And then retire.
I don't like grading players but he's a very good world champion. So you have to be better than that to beat him it seems.

Yeah I like him. He burnt my head out a bit in the Froch build up, and I was rooting for Froch. But I've rooted for Groves in each of his other fights.
He's been underrated over the years and even gone under the radar somewhat over here as opposed to some fighters who aren't as good as him. He's the best in his division IMO.
He's been competitive in his losses against good guys, and came back from them well. Fair play to him.
