Froch KO's Groves,Boxing challenge

George Groves was well ahead of my card after seven rounds in his rematch vs Carl Froch,but you could feel things turning to the point that it felt like just a matter of time before Froch made his move.
Froch did just that with a one punch knockout of Groves in round 8 to retain his IBF Super Middleweight title.
No controversy on this one and the KO helped R.L.Malpica increase his lead over me in the boxing challenge to 44-40.
R.L earned two points for the Froch KO win and he would earn four more on the day from Evgeny Gradovich (2 pts for his unanimous decision),Nonito Donaire (1 pt for a win) and Nicholas Walters (1 pt for a win).
I scored just three on the day from Gradovich and Donaire...

Groves used his awkward style to throw Froch off,but the fight had a different vibe than the first bout.
In the first fight,Groves controlled the action and you felt like he was frustrating Froch.
In this return bout,Froch may have been outpointed on my card,but he was calmer and more patient and it seemed like was just waiting for the mistake from Groves.
He found it in round 8.

I have another post in mind for tonight,if I have time...
