Groves eyes Dirrell shot and Froch trilogy

[ross]

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 .

Well, he's not doubting his punch resistance yet or he'd stay away from Dirrell and Froch. I'd really like to see the Dirrell fight, that could tell us where Groves belongs.
Another KO or truly bad performance anytime soon could end Groves' hopes for more big paydays.

Do you mean a third knockout loss on the trott?
