    Massive respect to Groves, what a journey he’s been on. To comeback from 3 world title defeats and become champion shows incredible mental fortitude. Backing him to beat Smith in a few weeks time and win the WBSS aswell as the ring magazine belt which in my eyes will make him the best 168 in the world.

    • @Uppercut443

      And he's a shy man, (which is why he always mentions the 80,000 thing, he's so nervous around the cameras) and when interviewed he can come across as awkward or even conceited. He's not. He's a good lad and enjoys his family, and his success. Groves seems like a decent fellah, to be fair.

    I always thought that it was Froch being disrespectful in the build up he didn’t see Groves as a legitimate challenger if that was so he should have vacated the IBF. But history is written be the victor sadly for him.

      Groves is a nobody and Carl had every right to take him out actually the way groves went at carls family he's a nonse

    Froch could always dig deep and had a solid chin. That's a dangerous combination. I think Groves was surprised at just how resilient Froch was.

      @@aldenunion It wouldn't of been a draw. I'm not saying that Joe would have knocked Froch out, but he would have boxed his head off. Froch was a very poor technical boxer, but he made up for it with his power and his chin. But he couldn't hold a candle to Calzaghe.
