Review: 2014-05-31, the second fight between Carl Froch and George Groves was not as exciting as their first bout but it is close to get four stars thanks to a spectacular finish! Carl Froch entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 32-2-0 (23 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.2 super middleweight in the world, he suffered his last defeat in 2011 when he faced #1 Andre Ward (in the final of the Super Six World Boxing Classic tournament, Ward vs Froch), since then he has fought and won four times winning the IBF super-Mw title against then-undefeated Lucian Bute in 2012 (=Froch vs Bute) and successfully defended it against Yusaf Mack (=Froch vs Mack); then he beat Mikkel Kessler (=Froch vs Kessler 2) and George Groves (four-stars-fight, Froch vs Groves I).
His opponent, the 26-year-old George Groves (10 years younger than Froch), has an official record of 19-1-0 (15 KOs=79%) and he entered as the No.7 in the same weight class, he has never won a world title but he was ahead on points during the first bout against Froch till the referee ended the contest prematurely… Froch vs Groves 2 is valid for the IBF and WBA Super World super middleweight titles. Watch the video and rate this fight!

Now that stupid Jim Watt,, PLEASE dont comment again
I really don’t understand why Groves didn’t start aggressive like in the first fight. That was the way to win froch, why did he change strategy?!?!

because he tried that strategy (in the first fight) and it failed (he lost). he was more cautious this time around, hoping to get a points victory.
So George gets to his feet and Carl kills him….that what you want??
