Froch-Groves II needs to happen

froch83By Rav: Having watched the Carl Froch vs. George Groves fight last night, I saw two completely different scenarios which we didn’t think would happen; Froch was pushed back by Groves and at times looked amateurish and crude and didn’t know what to do, took way too many shots and looked punch drunk at times from heavy shots from Groves.

Due to this condition, chin and punch resistance being so good, Froch was able to fight on. Groves showed excellent technical skills with movement, stunning one punch power and the ability to exploit his opponents weaknesses with his strengths.

Froch throughout the fight couldn’t adapt to what Groves was bringing and was stunned with 1st round knockdown. But his experience told, and he always thought whilst he stuck with Groves he would get his chance later on, which he did. But Groves showed Froch’s vulnerabilities and made him look old in the fight. I was shocked at times at how Froch was moving, looking so punch drunk and throwing crude reckless shots and missing badly.

Froch showed tremendous heart courage and determination. He showed he wasn’t going to lose. Although lacking the skills of Groves, this got him through, but I believe the referee Howard John Foster panicked and reacted too quickly in the 9th round when Groves was hurt. Foster should of given Groves the chance to stand and show he could fight on, and if he would of got stopped so be it. But a rematch has to happen, and we will see if Froch can stop Groves convincingly with no doubt or whether Groves can outbox Carl Froch for 12 rounds.

With the way Froch looked last night, could he be stopped for the first time in their rematch? This makes the rematch even more intriguing. So Carl and George should agree and get it signed and I for one will be buying a ticket.
