No, the cards weren't nonsense. One judge had it as I had it, 78-73 Groves. I think two judges had it to Groves by one point. A couple of rds could have went either way, so it wasn't nonsense.

I used to think you knew a little but the scorecards were a disgrace

Personal attacks on someones opinion are pretty disgraceful. A close fight can be scored 12 nil and a not too close fight can be scored quite closely if the judges score close rounds the other way. I hard Groves winning by four rounds but if I score one round different 6-2 becomes 5-3 and its a much closer fight.

Did you read what I wrote? I had Groves 78-73. The same as one judge. If you are honestly trying to claim that all rds, or even 8 rds were clear then you know little. 2-3 rds were close and could have went either way. Hence why you may see a tighter card. It's not rocket science. It's called subjectivity.

Hope Groves can get the better of him. Froch was very petty on SSN earlier, childish stuff, Groves came across much better spoken and grown up.

Excellent news, cue the "Groves is not a PPV boxer" comments !

Frank Bullitt

Excellent, looking forward to it!

******SARCASM ALERT******

I can't believe it, that coward Carl Froch actually signed a rematch!!

This can't be true!!

He must have been forced into it, there's no way he wanted to face Groves again!!

After reading all the highly knowledgable posters on here I was ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED that there was NOT going to be a rematch. How could all these experts have got it so wrong??

My faith in the internet has been shattered. I guess I'll have to learn an awful lot more about the business side of boxing and learn to think for myself in future instead of knee-jerk reactionism.

I have to laugh at some of the 'thinking' here.

1. It's only 10 days since the fight and some people here have already decided that the rematch is never happening. Jesus, have you people only just started following boxing?

Hopefully lessons will have been learnt....



but I doubt it.

I really dislike both of these fighters but I hope Groves wins, just to wipe the smug look off Froch's face.

I hope its a good overseas ref at this stage. Foster is still the best in the UK but they better get a good overseas ref for the fight

Early days yet but Froch getting personal with Groves. Don't like that. Hope George knocks him out.

What the hell is Eddie Hearn on about saying that Froch gave a terrible post fight interview? What was so terrible?

This is going to be great for boxing. Any word on possibilities for the undercard?

MD1990

funny how Froch criticises Groves when he says how he will beat Froch
but then he starts making childish remarks about how Groves breath stinks & about his hair
pathetic from Froch & i hope he is knocked out

HigginsJ

I agree with Froch that Groves has whinged his way to rematch.

Groves denying that he appealed to the BBBoC when he told everyone that he did & it failed was funny.

Can't wait for Froch to KO him

Ward must be questioning his faith having heard these two are to split a reported 10m for this fight!

He'd beat both of them in the one night and would be lucky to have earned that in his career to date!

So true

Can imagine he let loose a scream of anguish when he saw that figure.

Didn't Groves start all the pettiness from the first one. Hope Groves gets his ass handed to him by Froch.

how by saying he was going to beat Froch
Froch found Groves disrespectful because he pointed out what he thinks are Froch's flaws

Should be some fight when it happens.

Did you watch all of the pre-fight videos? Groves was really petty. I don't blame Froch for taking it personal and wanting to prove a point to Groves. Hope he drags him into the late rounds again and stops him emphatically.

The most childish one was "aawww are you going to cry Carl, are you gonna cry. He's gonna cry".

After the fight Groves then says "I'm going to go off and have a good cry for myself".

They are both as bad as each other really. I am a huge fan of both and wished for my own selfishness they stayed away from one another to support them seperately. I love how people say Foch is wound up, just because someone goes on the attack doesn't mean they are wound up, he was emotionless, sitting on his couch giving the interview the other day, the minute he gives Groves s*hit people think oh he's wound up!

Amused me, but dont think Froch was wound up in the slightest tbh

Groves has been whinging, and whinging and whinging to anyone who will listen, he just got called out on it. But Carl never changes tone or shows any sign of being upset about it. He just puts it out there since Groves is bull****ting.

He attempts a cheap shot and smack talk has never been his strong point tbh but hardly evidence that he got wound up. Reaching Im afraid.
