He didnt have to. He shouldn't have allowed Carl to tee off and just cover up. He should have held, tied up. He did it a few times during the fight too. When Carl would press, he wouldn't move out the way just stand in front and put his gloves up while looking at the floor. He has talent for sure but the way he deals with pressure needs to develop. Its cost him a fight already.

George Groves was not hurt enough to take a knee or do anything he wouldnt have done throughout the rest of the fight

when foster grabbed him he had just ducked under a punch with his hands up

the first time your oppononent landed a puch would you change your tactics?

He spent the majority of the 9th round being hurt/holding on/tying up. People are forgetting this.

Not really, people like Froch are forgetting the previous 8 rounds or quite how empty it sounds when you have to declare yourself to be an ironman warrior, after getting your arse kicked by somebody who you were previously insisting should kiss your boots for the right to fight you.

They're not. Nearly everyone on here agrees that Groves destroyed him for the majority of the fight. But he was hurt more than once in round 9.

the 9th was an unconfortable round but he wasnt hurt enough to start taking knees or needing counts
