Groves Focused on Dirrell Title Shot, Eyes Froch Trilogy - Boxing News

God sake George you have been knocked out twice why do you want an undeserved third beating??

At least he wants to earn the shot by winning a title and not just expecting it. How the hell the fight did 80,000 and ppv is beyond me.

Miserable twat

I have this feeling that groves had his best chance in the first fight with froch. , he didn't win , and now his chance has gone . I feel he will be knocked out plenty times more in world class.

I'd go along with that. Everything got stacked in Groves favour in fight one and he couldnt get the job done. I think he'll do well to keep himself relevant for the next couple of years.

I think Groves is going to be the super middle bersion of Audley Harrison.

Not a bad shout as a comparison.

Like Harrison he has the skills and attributes but just isn't strong enough to deal with anyone with real desire and anyone with a good punch is a massive risk.

The shot Froch caught him with, he should have seen and been able to avoid. Froch is a good puncher but he's not the biggest. That punch would have got the attention of but not hurt, had it even landed against the likes of Kessler, Bika, Ward, Dirrell, Abraham etc. he really needs to work on his head movement because its none existent. He has the same style as Haye which is just to move out the way with his footwork but stuck against the ropes and he's a sitting duck.

He may now also be in Harrison mode with regards to punches coming his way. Gun shy.

We also tend to forget froch had no defence in the first few rounds of the first fight , when groves caught him flush ,froch's punches won't have been as hard and sharp for a good few rounds after that . In the second fight I never thought groves was ever going to have that kind of success again.
Now if he starts to doubt his own punch resistance he could well become very gun shy .

True Froch is 2-0 against Groves. I'd hardly say the first fight was a KO though. But it's not unthinkable that Groves could beat Froch. Remember in either fight it's not like Froch totally outclassed Groves. If he did, then Groves has no business running his mouth.

However Froch has, what ? Maybe 2 or 3 fights left in him ? So Groves is most likely gonna run out of time. Plus some only get one chance, Groves has had two chances and it would be a total disgrace if he was given a third chance next summer when their are so many other fighters waiting in line, DeGale to name but one and others too.
