OK! Carl Froch vs. George Groves.. The Facts. (As I see it)

[Morgan-B-Howell]

1. GG was magnificent. Fought out of his skin.
2. I had it 77-74 after 8 in favour of George.
3. Nothing wrong with letting Carl continue after the first knockdown.
4. Great fight.
5. Stoppage was not "dispicable", Glen McCrory
6. Froch deserves a lot more credit for a champion's performance (again)
7. Get the rematch on. We could watch another one.
8. Stop the bitching (crying) either way.

Why do you say Groves fought out of his skin?
His first massive test against a real World class tough guy and he passed it and then some and imo it was always in him to be that dominant and this was his first chance at a title and to prove that which he more than did.
You speak as if the boy wasn't capable of it.
Every top fighter at some stage has to step up and fight the elite to become Elite and he was beating Froch up and taking the piss out of him until the 9th.
The only thing missing from Groves was experience and he should have boxed his way thru the latter rounds as Froch was coming on strong and we all know what that means.
I don't see him making that mistake again or holding back after a kd and going all out for the stoppage and 2 new belts ;-)

I meant it as a compliment. When you do start to knock around "world" level performing at that level is a big ask I agree. He always looked capable (and he obviously is) and that's the point. He did lose this fight due to his inexperience and I agree with your analysis. I'm not knocking him at all. I'd make him favourite for the re-match, although I'd expect Froch to up his game which would make it a potential classic.
