    The fight went the way most Johnson fights go, pressure but very little left bar a good chin, Groves boxed
    well and he would be favourite to beat Abraham , more or less using the same style.

    Whilst Abraham did OK, Groves and De Gale could step up next year and beat him on neutral ground.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    This was a good win on Groves' climb up the super middleweight ladder. He did what he was supposed to do and he did it easier than Fonfara, or Froch. Abraham is a good fight for Groves so is Stieglitz etc.

    Easier than Froch?

    He had a more tired version ill give you that but he couldnt put a dent in Johnson and had a few jelly leg moments himself. Read nothing in to this fight, Groves will go nowhere with Booth. U til hes taught or learns himself how to move his head he will get found out. He thinks hes a big puncher and fought the first round like a complete novice. Even when he had Johnson on the ropes for about a minute, Johnson ended the same round on the attack and Groves desperately trying to get hit and he held alot in this fight too.

    Compare that to Froch who controlled the whole fight. Groves is not in Frochs class, hes too vulnerable, let alone Kessler or Ward. Right now, Groves I think would beat Magee but I wouldnt be surprised if Magee stopped him.

    Listen, in no way is Groves in Froch's class. That's preposterous to suggest, and I wouldn't dare do so. I like Groves though and see some potential in him.

    Magee is actually a good idea as a choice of opponent for Groves.

    Froch won his fight against Johnson by split decision, in case you forgot. Now, personally, I had Froch winning by unanimous decision, but it wasn't a complete blow out by any means. Johnson wasn't that much older against Groves here, coupled with the fact that Groves has about 1/4 the experience of Froch, and he gave a good performance.
