Wasn't one flurry Nick, Froch had been getting to him for a few rounds. Groves was in big trouble before the ref ruoned the fight. I like Froch's arrogance. He backs it up in the ring and has been taking the hardest gights non stop gor 5 years.

No he hadn't if you watch the fight again I think froch gets him maybe round 7, but round 8 groves schools him the whole round, then groves is against the ropes for the 10 seconds in the 9th rest is history.
Do think anyone other than froch would of been finished by then though, his chin is one of the best.
No disputing the resolve and the chin on froch, but surely he can't/won't box like that again? Will certainly have to leave the arrogance at the door before he starts his training camp and adapt his style and tactics (if possible) or he's getting beaten. I don't think that performance by groves was a fluke or one-off by any stretch.

Froch isn't easy on the eyes but he is very effective and tough as nails. One of the best chins in boxing.
