    Let it go to purse offers, 85-15 is ridiculous, has everyone forgotten how battered Froch got?

    I actually think Froch will win the rematch. Could Groves possibly hit him any harder or cleaner?

    Most importantly though, Groves was fighting his usual style but at a much faster pace. I think it's quite clear he was struggling with the pace as that fight went on. And I think it's highly unlikely he could ever get such a massive headstart again. The element of surprise is gone.
    he didnt have a headstart or a lead tho, aside from the knockdown the scores were even

    Froch getting chinned early put him on the backfoot for several rounds afterwards, thats on top of the 2 point flier Groves got. Its unlikely Groves is going to get such a brilliant start again and Froch will be getting to him a bit earlier this time around.

    80 - 15 is what Groves is worth, his ranking says so.

    Slippery sod.

    Don't bother with the appeal, the IBF told Groves to fuck off and get on with it.

    So if this goes to Purse bids Groves still only gets 15% because he's ranked beyong the number 3 spot with the IBF..?

    You know what I mean.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
