Also: fair play Froch.

Great finish.

I had Groves up, FWIW.

Well fair play Froch, big shot. Never really seen that from him in his career, usually been the attrition.

Watts and co saying more what they wanted to see than what was happening , no doubt this time and there won't be a 3rd match

The commentary was awful, the usual bias towards the "home" fighter, was actually glad when amir khan showed jim watt up, and how dave whatever can comment on fighters is beyond me

From what perspective? What exactly is depressing? I'm confused by your post.

Froch winnning and in that fashion, we will never hear the last of this, hopefully DeGale completely takes him to pieces next time out.

BOOM!

Groves is finally put in his place.

Plenty of humble pie to be eaten and egg facials on here over the next few days

Watt's criticising Groves, when Groves did everything right for me until that one shot.

er...what did I say

Totally wrong with my prediction. Well done Carl. A solid performance and a sensational finish. So hard to beat Froch any way. Well done to Rob McCracken too, got Froch using his jab again.

Disagree with this, for the most part everyone said Groves was quicker and would box Froch about, which for the most part he did, apart from the peach of a shot that he landed

I can't see that. Narrow points win maybe for DeGale.

what a tough bastard he is

I thought Groves fought a very sensible fight and was clearly in front. He was showing signs of dominating more the longer the fight went on. How the Sky team had Froch ahead on points I'll never know. Yes he poked the jab but it hardly landed for the most part.

One brilliant shot from Froch, I doubt he's ever thrown a better punch than that. Fair result, no argument but the commentators were talking absolute bllx.

Agree, Expe...fight was closer, Froch was better....but for me Groves was still ahead....getting close to 3 up with 4 to play.

Possibly not- I'd like to see the card, Groves wasn't far behind on mine.

It's what I want to happen, that, or a one punch knockout, at any point in the fight, don't even care if it's DeGale, or how it ends, just as long as it ends Carl Froch's career.

Fair play to Froch for his honesty, even he didn't have himself ahead like Watt and co did.

Yep.

I don't know what it is with Froch fans and thinking that so many people disrespect him as a fighter or don't give him his due. He was probably the forum favorite, he was the betting favorite, and there were also a fair number of people who were critical of Groves. Based on the first fight, there was nothing wrong with picking Groves.

Ah, I see - depressing from the point of view of someone who dislikes Froch.

very unfair - not like you

Watt and co were up to some silliness but nobody was getting outboxed in that ring tonight. Close fight again.

Some of the stuff on here in recent weeks would have you think Groves was gonna have an easy nights work. Nobody has an easy nights work against Froch ( unless you are called Andre Ward and that was only relatively easy )

I enjoy your posts but youre not being very fair - froch has proved himself a true great world champion in his career - give him the props

howard foster breathes a sigh of relief!!!!!

Just on a scale of 1-10 how loudly are you crying? Just trying to picture it that's all.
