froch didnt do terrible in the fight against groves

[denilson200]

Froch can't keep making school boy, lazy more mistakes just because he's tough.

He sticks his left hand by his knee after a jab and Groves was landing right hands at will. Froch also threw so many jabs that he didn't even intend to hit Groves with, just flicks, not even real punches.

Froch was doing some things early that were baffling to me. He has a tendency to square up as he throws a right hand anyway, but last night it was so exagerrated- look at the kd and see it. Also, he would punch and then just kind of stand there or step back like he didn't expect anybody to be punching back at him. Maybe he took groves lightly and his training was lax?

THIS WAS THE WORST STOPPAGE I HAVE EVER SEEN

I believe Froch is an accident waiting to happen Because in many ways his biggest strength could be his weakness. His capacity to soak up huge shots and huge amounts of punishment are the hallmarks of fighters who can get themselves seriously hurt

We saw this Gerald McClellan because McClellan was able to take those huge shots from Benn and carry on, meant more blows to his brain. We saw this most famously with Ali and the huge blows he was able take from Frazier, Norton, Foreman, Holmes etc

This is what these refs don't get, boxing accidents happen not because the boxers can't take a punch but more because they can take a punch and the irony is because these type of fighters can take a punch, refs are less inclined to stop their fighters, they just think "O he's Froch. He has a granite chin. He's not hurt. He can take a punch"

Because there is NO WAY that ref would have stopped the fight had it been Froch in trouble like that

The ref (Howard Taylor) was a disgrace.

Have you ever seen a ref in any world title fight grab the guy who is meant to be saving from further punishment in a headlock in order to stop the fight ?

I would not even trust that ref to referee a dog fight.

The rematch will happen. It has to. Where can Froch go ?

Also as a side note.

It makes James De Gales performance against Groves (A fight I though he won) look very good. Remember Andre Ward did not handle Froch the way Groves did and Ward is meant to be 2nd only to Mayweather in the P4P lists

I know Froch and Groves or their team will be looking at websites and seeing what the public are saying..... they might even be reading this. So if I was in Frochs team I would tell him to retire
