Groves was an integral part of why British boxing is where it's at today. Sky wouldn't have invested so much if it wasn't for that first Froch V Groves in Nottingham and then London. Hats off to him, a very underrated fighter. He fought an even fight with Badou Jack and look what level he proved he was at
SideHustle TV oh Yh, everyone knows there bum boys outside of boxing. Course Howard foster gonna save his boy, he shouldn’t of been refereeing that fight period. I feel for George, guy has had some shitty luck.
@@turboman9471 agreed. There was even stories of Carl fighting with loaded gloves against the likes of Lucien Bute and some guy from new Zealand or australia too I forgot his name. The guy said he was visited at his hotel before the fight and told to go down in a specific round against Carl. He didn't and the stoppage was dodgy to say the least and you never guess who the referee was, Mr Forster...
This was a legendary rivalry, loved every minute of it back then. When groves dropped froch in the first fight, flippin heck!!!!! And when Carl pulled groves over the table lol. We can pull about, have a pull and a push, brilliant, absolute brilliant rivalry!!
first seen George when he fought Froch the first time. Even though he lost he got my respect and ive followed his career since. Thanks for the memories bro from New Zealand
George had one of the most memorable careers in British boxing because it was full of highs and lows. The majority of British fight fans were so happy when George won his world title and to win his defence vs Eubank Jr.
Every time I see that Howard Foster stoppage 🙈🙈🙈 he’s still punching Howard what were you thinking! You can see how relieved Froch is. Could have been so much different, that first fight paved the way for Joshua and Co to sell stadiums out.
Well done George, you provide the boxing fans with some great fights, you always gave 100%, was a well earned world title, you will be missed in the sport, thanks!
Use to hate groves until I realized he was really good at getting under your skin I believe he's still under frochs skin to this day,good luck in your retirement groves
I've never felt so satisfied when I saw him win that world title finally. So deserved. Not to mention, absolutely destroyed Carl on Ringside that first time...the second time Carl won the pre-fight games
George Groves will be remembered for his courage and toughness and making history with Carl Froch in the second-largest attended fight of modern times. One of our best fighters of recent years.
Definetly made the hearnes era of boxing he sold both fights well I feel from the start of his fight with groves in the UK made boxing great again and now look how it's evolved I was so happy watching him win the title so glad he got it such a great story a great career will always be remembered as the catalyst to great fights over here in the UK no doubt. When boxing here was at its lowest remember George and his work will never be forgotten in the boxing world.
I went to the froch vs groves at Manchester arena when I was 14 with my dad will never forget how much everyone was booing groves when he first come out and everyone cheering froch. By the end everyone was booing froch and cheering George what a fight it was shame he got robbed
Well done George. Have to admit I was a big Froch fan so wanted you to lose badly at the time but you've done boxing, your family and Britain proud. Enjoy your retirement mate.
A great story of another British fighter truly having to slog the hard road to finally get what he wanted out of the sport, much like Michael Bisping in MMA. The night that they win their first world title, your genuinely happy for them & it shows all of us that things can be worth it in the end.
Enjoyed your fights that second fight with froch could of gone either way just one of those things I guess, but you got a belt in the end through hard work :-)
regardless of how the fight would have finished that stoppage by howard foster was a bad one groves was hurt but he was still fighting back froch was lucky that night
Enjoy the sunset George,I think you made a wise decision to get out intact,and do a bit of commentary etc. Good luck on the next stage of life,it's hard to accept we are getting older,but it's true non the less,and whether we accept or fight it,it happens regardless,takes time to adjust,but trust me you are doing well,all your faculties in order is not a given for any of us (never mind a fighter) be happy for this,and with time the adjustment will seem easier.
Sam Vimes well most people I think had degale ahead just! And for me money talks to a young man fit a years rest and bordem looms. Trust me he would return. 2million on the table for one last hooray will be food for thought 💭 even like a man like groves..(every thing for a reason)
John White every chance, when your young rested and the mrs is moaning with babies in the air,and your board too. You crave that routine again and 2 ish million on the table for one last hooray...every chance I say..!!
Genuinely happy for him when he won the title.
Ever Carl was afterwards. He desevered it
Me too always like George, even backed him over Froch like an idiot.
At his peak he had the best jab in the business... take a bow George you did good lad 👍🏼
Yeh absolutely. His footwork aided it so well. In and out before you knew what had happened.
Surprised they didn't show the Degale or Eubank fights. They were huge memorable moments for George
Totally agree, they were both two of his best fights
Sky don't own the rights for them
Degale yes, eubank jr is nothing more than a name groves schooled him because he ain't a world class fighter European level at best.
Boxnation own the footage for the degale fight an itv own the rights for the eubank fight...
Groves in the DeGale fight is some of the best Boxing I've ever seen.

Hats off to him, a very underrated fighter. He fought an even fight with Badou Jack and look what level he proved he was at
ingrogies1 first Froch fight was in Manchester but agree, one of my favourite fighters
ingrogies1 very overrated
I thought he just edged the jack fight was unlucky
That fight was a draw at best.
That first fight stoppage omg Howard foster should’ve been fired.
Exactly, it should've been 1-1 and then they both could've had a trilogy
There's a bit of a controversy surrounding Howard Forster and Carl froch fights. RUclips it
SideHustle TV oh Yh, everyone knows there bum boys outside of boxing. Course Howard foster gonna save his boy, he shouldn’t of been refereeing that fight period. I feel for George, guy has had some shitty luck.

Foster almost jumped in to stop it right away when Froch buzzed Groves @1:35.
I forgot about that first clip, froch was genuinely about to burst into tears
DONT TALK UTTER CRAP
@ Lee Hollebon. It's the only straw for people still butthurt over the two loses to grasp!
@@jillconner5062 i agree how are you anyway jill hope your well
@@leehollebon6041alright Ronnie Pickering
David Haye with his mouth full of scran when groves put Froch down 😂
I seen comment prior to seeing him do that lmaooooooo
By "scran" you mean cock
We can all pull about have a little pull and a push.
George is a legend. One of the best jabs in the business . Happy retirement
Congrats on a great career George, winning the world title on your 4th attempt showed true perseverance and heart, a great indeed
Provided everyone with great fights, entertainment and character. Achieved so much and got out at a good time. Congrats
Thanks George for the great boxing memories
This was a legendary rivalry, loved every minute of it back then. When groves dropped froch in the first fight, flippin heck!!!!! And when Carl pulled groves over the table lol. We can pull about, have a pull and a push, brilliant, absolute brilliant rivalry!!
The pull and the push was legendary.
I didn't know Carl Froch knocked him out at Wembley in front of 80,000 people it's never been mentioned
I know its crazy
Yeah it has...in other vids
No he knocked out 80,000 people in front of George groves
So boring this comment.
Did you hear he was Polish?
first seen George when he fought Froch the first time. Even though he lost he got my respect and ive followed his career since. Thanks for the memories bro from New Zealand
So great he became a world champion. So happy for him....great finish as well....also a cool video - thanks
Eddie in the Middle at the beginning dying to laugh 🤣
Definitely one of the top English rivalries in the last few decades 2 great fights
what a send off he changed my opinion 100% been great to watch him develop , peak... and not go on too long 👊
Watched both Froch and Groves from the beginning of their boxing careers and they provided some quality nights of boxing. Quality fighters
George had one of the most memorable careers in British boxing because it was full of highs and lows. The majority of British fight fans were so happy when George won his world title and to win his defence vs Eubank Jr.
Brilliant, thanks for the great action George, never forgotten! 👍
Everything for a reason
Well done George, and congrats. I enjoyed watching you over the years, you're a tough lad, great jab and loved watching you take JR apart.
Just love the groves ring walks absolute pure determination. Legend love his podcasts and his unlikely duo with froch.
“Timing perfect”
Musta been some buzz on that ring walk infront of Wembley packed
How many were there?
Supercars of Gotham 80,000
@@supercarsofgotham8255 ask froch I think he knows
Love groves. 3 more seconds in 1ist round on Carl's 1st fight, his career would of been even better
... There's a winners view!!
The mixture of wanting groves to win, the atmosphere when he turned the afterburners on pressing chudinov and that commentary is hair raising 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Im west london to George. You done us proud.
Every time I see that Howard Foster stoppage 🙈🙈🙈 he’s still punching Howard what were you thinking! You can see how relieved Froch is. Could have been so much different, that first fight paved the way for Joshua and Co to sell stadiums out.
This is brilliantly put together
Groves is the man!
"Is he gonna cry?" Kills me every time. 😂😂😂
A wonderful fighter, and an even better man. Saint George
Froch was actually gonna cry , mind games can be harsh .
Didn’t really work tho groves lost both matches 😂
Sir Neb yeah but was a robbery in the first fight which ruined him a bit
Well done George, you provide the boxing fans with some great fights, you always gave 100%, was a well earned world title, you will be missed in the sport, thanks!
Pure class George Groves
Use to hate groves until I realized he was really good at getting under your skin I believe he's still under frochs skin to this day,good luck in your retirement groves
George did such a great job of making it such a great show and to get people invested in both fights with Froch .
I hope you made bank buddy
I was a froch fan but the way he's conducted him self isn't the best.. How can you not like groves top man
I'll miss groves. He was actually quite quirky and be great to see him and froch having a conversation in twenty yrs time
Tough man who eventually fulfiled his ambition. Very entertaining fighter enjoyed watching him.
I've never felt so satisfied when I saw him win that world title finally. So deserved. Not to mention, absolutely destroyed Carl on Ringside that first time...the second time Carl won the pre-fight games
5:03 that walk out was fucking badass
great stuff.God bless St George Groves!
Salute to George Groves!👏
Sad to see him go... 😪
George Groves will be remembered for his courage and toughness and making history with Carl Froch in the second-largest attended fight of modern times.
One of our best fighters of recent years.
Thx for the beautiful years of blood and guts george.enjoy retirement,you deserve it
The last dude he fought was as hard as nails

George you done your country proud son, well done.
Done British boxing proud
They were some good fights
Was buzzing for him when he beat chudinov, very good fighter groves was deserved his moment 👏
Miss watching Groves fight
THE SAINT
I'm glad Groves won! The stopage in the first fight w/Cobra was criminal.
(COBRA is the coolest boxing handle ever)
Makes me miss watching froch
George I'm going to miss watching u. U had an amazing career enjoy retirement!!!
I went to the froch vs groves at Manchester arena when I was 14 with my dad will never forget how much everyone was booing groves when he first come out and everyone cheering froch.
By the end everyone was booing froch and cheering George what a fight it was shame he got robbed

Love groves what a fighter
George groves Great warrior 👏✌

Legendary fights.. loved every min. That first stoppage though was a proper belter how much was the ref paid to pull that one off...
“What’s happening right now” 😂
Good stoppage by Steve Gray. That’s a fair stoppage in a title fight. Howard Foster take notes
Should have had grove vs froch as a bow out fight. The rivalry was brilliant!!!
Say what you want but Groves was a beast during that first Froch fight!
Sorry to see you go George!
Great boxer George groves 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Froch thought he was levels above groves and first fight never took it seriously he got a shock in round 1
Welldone ginger boz👏
Enjoyed your fights that second fight with froch could of gone either way just one of those things I guess, but you got a belt in the end through hard work :-)
Best ring walk tune going, st geoge👊
Groves is a top man.
regardless of how the fight would have finished that stoppage by howard foster was a bad one groves was hurt but he was still fighting back froch was lucky that night
One of the best rivalry's in british boxing! Great two fights, destroyed groves mentally I believe
Legend has it Frochs lucky number is 80
That first stoppage was fucking ridiculous
What is the song's name in the end ?
@@Ukmanimal thank you.
Enjoy the sunset George,I think you made a wise decision to get out intact,and do a bit of commentary etc.
Good luck on the next stage of life,it's hard to accept we are getting older,but it's true non the less,and whether we accept or fight it,it happens regardless,takes time to adjust,but trust me you are doing well,all your faculties in order is not a given for any of us (never mind a fighter) be happy for this,and with time the adjustment will seem easier.
AZOTH your a faculty
Groves proved to be top level
I gona miss him
George 👍
Froch was really struggling to hold it together in that interview, Groves played a blinder with his mind games 👏🏻👏🏻
Remember jump out my seat when he dropped Froch in the first round
Two words: Everything for a reason. Bahstuds.
What is the song 2:24
I still think he will come back for a well paid return to fight degale if degale wins against Eubanks..!!
No Chance, Always done things on his own terms.
Sam Vimes well most people I think had degale ahead just! And for me money talks to a young man fit a years rest and bordem looms. Trust me he would return. 2million on the table for one last hooray will be food for thought 💭 even like a man like groves..(every thing for a reason)
John White every chance, when your young rested and the mrs is moaning with babies in the air,and your board too. You crave that routine again and 2 ish million on the table for one last hooray...every chance I say..!!
