And Froch stuck in there for another 9 rounds trying to grind the young lion down, taking huge right hands every round.... Dude is a proper beast.

I can well imagine that punch KO's 95% of the guys out there. I'm talking out cold.

As someone said. 'If grinding down someone is getting knockdown and your ass beat after round, then yes,he wore down GG'.

But he hung in there, I guess.

Froch is tough, but it's not good for long term health.

GG looked pretty tired and bruised up for a kid that was coasting to victory....

Yep. I didn't need convincing of Froch's recuperative ability but he proved it again. Tough bloke.

Still think he was worse in the first than Groves was in the ninth though.

Ive been saying the same. If you look at Froch's eyes on the replay on his way down, he actually does look like he's momentarily "out".

He said he was out!

It's amazing how he managed to come back and win after that. 8)

I think the tide has turned though; Froch got the win in a very controversial way, he utterly dismissed Groves as been not in his league and was arrogant and disrespectful following the bout. The crowd turned on him and many watching will have warmed to Groves and his effort, disappointment and honesty. I imagine that the fight will have had a worse effect on Froch - he took an awful lot of very hard punches and any rematch will mean he is 6 months older, another training camp and with the effects of this bout. I reckon the odds on Groves will have dropped a lot next time and he will not be coming out to boo's. Froch won the fight but Groves will win the battle - he will be a very very popular and well supported champion - FRoch is a millionaire on the back of his fighting ability and in spite of his personality - Groves will make tons of money because of his ability and his personality.

Great punch! It's just unfortunate Groves lost the fight by TKO in the 9th.

That's speculation though Palooka. I'm not disagreeing with you and hope Groves does go on to become champ at some point and have a great career etc, but what's to say his greatest chance didnt end in the first few rounds against Carl?

Unlike some, I don't believe he was perfectly fine at the time of the stoppage, he was in big trouble, although it was premature. Is it a worrying sign that he managed to lose a fight he was clearly winning?

Was it a lack of experience? Too much respect for Froch even after dropping him heavily? Maybe he isn't "elite level tough"? Etc

Seems like sme are getting a touch carried away over it all. I just hope for a rematch so we can have the answers!!!

Don't know how he got up from that

Really really dislike Froch but you have to rate elite level toughness like that
