    He didn't need to box. where he was successful was in trading right hands because froch brings his left leg forward and squares up when he throws his right; this makes him easy to hit with right hands. initiating those exchanges works well. When he hurt him he needed to go to the body; I don't recall groves throwing one meaningful body punch.
    I suspect froch will take whatever fight will bring him the most money. nothing about the guy strikes me as soft or fearful, so I think he will take the route that pays him the most.

    Groves did the right thing by taking chances when needed to but he made a crucial error when he decided to get brave later in the rounds.. It was his inexperience that made him do that..

    IM not saying he should have boxed throughout the entire fight. He just needed to mix it up and stay composed..

    He definitely would take a different approach in a rematch.

    Paddy, Groves trainer said it right.

    Groves would stop him inside 4 in a rematch and Froch should talk with his family, long and hard to decide if he want to take that many shots again.

    George Groves showed that he is clearly a class above Froch, he needs to learn to hold and spoil and not engage when hurt, but that's experience that he will learn.

    i doubt it. froch doesnt have too much longer left and he doesnt need it. i think he knows that a rematch will only hurt him.

    Exactly. I was argueing with a guy prior to the fight how Froch fights like a bar fighter. Coming square is the first thing they drive out of you in the gym and if it wasnt for Frochs chin he wouldnt have made it far at all.
