    Default A thought about Froch

    - Made himself look a complete arse in the interview - and to be honestly - probably is in real life too.

    But wow - what a fighter - he has to go down as one of the british greats - and would of if he had actually come back and stopped groves in 11 or 12 - what a frecking chin he has! Round 6 of the fight - wow, how the fuck did he take those!? Then just comes forwards again and again - I dont know how he wasnt flattened even out of bad balence in 6!

    Iv been a huge froch fan but felt his interview afterwards showed why he will never be a hatton or even a calzaghe - who's personality wasnt even fantastic! But what a fighter ffs

    He's not a man he's a piece of iron.
    Froch is as hard as nails ..... some say his chin was fashioned at birth from the same raw materials they use in airoplane black boxes ;-)

    He has an unbelievable chin no doubt, but he was in big trouble in the first and I think that may be why he was so easy to hit thereafter. It seemed like he was really tense and just trying to brace himself every time Groves landed big after that, I think that's why he was so timid and reluctant to come forward and commit to his own shots. He knew he could take shots as long as he saw them coming.

    I really think Groves was unlucky to catch him at the end of the first instead of letting Froch get a bit of confidence and trade with him in the next round or two, but no way to know. A rematch would be very interesting.

    No doubt Froch was behind and Groves did well. He's been miles better in other fights and it was frustrating to see him getting beat like that. However he kept going forward and recovered after the first round. When he fights Groves again he will have to adjust and box more himself.

    I was annoyed the ref stopped the fight because Froch did have Groves hurt and nobody can deny that. Froch is known to come on strong in fights and if anybody was capable of stopping Groves late Froch could have done that. I do think Froch would have knocked him out and I think he will do it again next time. They need a different referee who's willing to for the action to carry on and Froch will have him out of there.

    I don't see Groves being able to box like that for 12 rounds in a rematch, no doubt he will be able to get rounds against Froch because Groves was good. But Froch will find a way again to hurt Groves and wear him down. Froch will need to improve though but I see him still being able to stand up to groves' punches and this time will be more aware of his power and abilities. Same with McCracken, he will know Groves better now and work on a more effective game plan.

    People shouldn't write Froch off though , he proved he's a warrior though and we already knew. All fighters can have difficulty in fights but he did well to hurt Groves and get back into it , that's what true champions do.

    Personally the stoppage was too early. Groves performed superbly & credit to Froch for soaking up the shots & still being able to catch & hurt Groves at the end. The ref robbed everyone, Groves of the opportunity to see through the rough patch, Froch of a definitive KO & the fans of what would have been a fantastic ending either way

    REMATCH!
