At my last count Groves was winning 5-2, he was fighting off the backfoot which to the uneducated boxing fan may suggest he was losing. I called it right at the beginning of this thread though, Froch would KO him. |
Well this may make me an uneducated boxing fan but 5-2 to Groves? You mad, bro. |  |

I didnt think i'd get you in with that one mush.
Aye, the main point stands though, 5-2. |  |

I'm delicate with a hangover and my defences are down.
On the main point - nah. Groves won one round, two at a stretch. | |

I don't see how you can score the first four rounds definitively either way. Some will prefer Froch being on front foot, others Groves cleaner work.
FWIW, I had Froch up 4-3 with Groves on top in the 8th before being KTFO. The stats are very interesting ... Groves was way ahead on those counts and they're usually a reasonably accurate judge of how the cards are going. |  |

Just saw the last couple of rounds again, groves had a good 7th and was doing well in the 8th, but warra punch from Froch to finish it. |  |

I'll start by saying I know very little about boxing, but watched the fight and saw it as others did - Froch winning most rounds.
It did suprise me to see that far more of Groves's punches landed though - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/boxing/27653629 |  |

Amir Khan had groves winning, but different people score different things. Groves was not throwing combos just a few one-twos here and there, his blocking was good, but the blocking style was out smarted by a soft left to the side of the head then a hard straight right. | |

the build up on Sky was quite ludicrous even more so than any soul willing to shell out £17 to add to Frcoh s pension pot.
The point about both being overated is well made.
I remember Alan Minter a decent enough British middleweight meeting Marvin Hagler. Minter before hand said he was confident.
How it upfolded remains me me to this day.
Froch utterly utterly overated. Groves a nobody | |

True enough.
Hear Radio 5 had it much more even than Sky. Woodhall had it same as me, Bunce 4-3 Groves. Pays your money, takes your choice. | |

Classic from Harry carpenter "I've just been hit on the head by a can"
Hagler absolutely annihilated Minter that night |  |
| The hair and the beard have gone I am now conforming to society, tis a sad day
The b*stards are coming back though |

I cant believe Groves tried to counter punch the knock out punch. Once again he was guilty of not using his head. For me Froch didn't trouble him up to that point and although he was the busier of the two he didn't land that much (as shown by the bbc stats)
Fair play to Froch he's a warrior,if Groves can refine himself he'll be back | |

He's p1ssed on his box-office chips though.

True - silly boy for trying to counter punch when he should have covered up. Brutal at that level. Still - he's got age on his side.
For some reason DeGale gets under my skin more than those 2 put together | |

I don't think anyone can argue it's put a rocket back up the arse of British boxing.
Hopefully Anthony Joshua can kick on in the heavyweight division |  |

Frock is a good champion but great..?i can only squirm what the greats of this weight - middleweight-would have done to frock.hearns would knock him out without breaking sweat, Leonard boxed him senseless ,haggler-doesn't bear thing about and sugar ray?well doubt froth would have laid a glove on him.froch has been fortunate but he hasn't dodged anyone | |
