Had it level going into the 8th.

Groves was getting the better of the exchanges in the 8th as well

[Gibbo]

Reckon he'll have another crack at Ward?

After he batters DeGale obvs.

I had Froch ahead. Groves was definitely coming back into it and yeah I had him ahead in the 8th until that punch too.

Killer knockout. Groves still asleep. I am going absolutely mental in the stadium. Rock the ****on

[Gingawaria]

Both guys showing a lot of class there.

[Chazza]

If it's Vegas it ain't Degale.

I saw a fight in which Froch was the aggressor, Groves had very occasional success on the counter-punch, and which Froch was at least one round, if not two or three ahead going into the 8th. I've no idea where Groves (or Khan!) got the idea he was ahead.

Groves vs DeGale II seems the obvious route for Groves now, and for Froch a last fight in Vegas to see off a great career in which he was wasn't quite as good as the very very best, and wasn't as good as Calzaghe, but still goes down as one of the best fighters Britain has ever produced.

Really don't see how or why DeGale vs Froch would happen - who'd be excited by it other than DeGale?

[RichC]

Yup, saw it as Froch as the aggressor it was certainly a tight fight but what a finish, I'm not sure if any Super Middle Weight would have managed to deal with that shot.

I guess he'll want Ward again and then call it a day, I'd be very surprised if Froch has any interest in fighting Degale

[RichC]

good on him

@StGeorgeGroves
Haven't watched it back properly yet but I think... I got knocked the **** out!���� #Rematch lol ��

[Shaggy]

Haha. Fair play.

FWIW I had Froch ahead but Groves was getting on top when he got sparked.

Bit of a let down all told, it was pretty cagey as rematches often are. I think Groves got it wrong.

[Gray]

DeGale Groves could be the fight. Froch wants a Vegas fight and DeGale is more Pontins

[Gibbo]

He'll have to vacate though won't he? Since DeGale now has a mandatory.

[Gray]

Only one of the belts, then go fight for the other 2

[Gray]

Ward or Abraham in Vegas

[RichC]

Nope he's had two mandatory fights in a row so doesn't need to fight the mandatory immediately
