All nicey nicey in the interviews. Shows the pre match hype bad blood was all to sell the fight, as always,

Fuck ing hell; he nearly knocked Groves into Wembley Park tube station. The perfect punch.

The retirement punch?

Perfect time for Froch to retire.

I think that was a fairly conclusive finish to the fight.
I wanted Groves to win - but what a punch!
Groves may never truly recover from that.

Seems to be a few boos there for the so-called local boy.

Groves is only 26 the commentator said.. for some reason he looks older.

He can recover, a few bums and than in a big fight with Degale, Khan or Audley Harrison :)

Hes already beat Degale twice though and Harrison is a heavyweight and Khan is Welterwight now i think

Good punch but I disagreed with the commentators on how the fight was going. Groves looked quite comfortable until that punch but fair play to Froch he set it up well.

Let's see him take on Andre Ward, that would truly prove he is a great if he could beat him. Don't think he wants anything to do with Ward though.

Not sure that Harrison was a totally serious suggestion, to be honest. Groves' mum could probably beat Fraudley Harrison!

Isn't it always?
Ex husband was a boxer and a good one at that. Amateur though. Used to watch him train and Mick Jelley was his coach. Went off it a few years ago but tonight's bout was the first one I've watched in years and I enjoyed it.

I see no woosh at all

Great night for British boxing. Win win for everyone. Froch, Groves (even though he lost he put up a good fight), the boxing fans, the promoters and the sport of boxing in general.

 

[jay_mcfc]

Thought Groves was really coming into it but he left himself wide open for that and Froch could have given him a written letter about what he was going to do before unleashing one of the best finishes of his career. Shame for Groves because he was starting to catch Froch and he obviously hurt him once or twice but then you look at Froch in that interview and he looks like he just nipped out to buy some milk.

Jim Watt was a proper biased **** though.

So you think khan and Harrison were serious suggestions?

 

[Malty]

Haye looking like one of the Spice Boys. Ha!

 

[ElanJo]

Savage right

Groves was taking over at that point but was never getting up from that.

 

[jimharri]

This could run and run. Audley Harrison, for fuck's sake!

 

[Dogtanian]

Whooooooooooosssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

So you think khan and Harrison were serious suggestions?

Well it was a strange list and just named the well known British boxers, did you find his list piss funny?

Froch has nothing to prove, just shows if the ref had not stopped the last fight, Groves would have got hurt badly. Well done Karl, a true pro and boxer. Respect.

No, but you thinking he was being serious was mildly amusing.
