Froch v Groves
Comments

Froch is antagonising the crowd so much. Must be intentional.0

Shut up Carl - you're making yourself look a prat.0
-
Now you know why Ward doesn't wanna come to the UK. Way too risky to get robbed like that.0

Absolute pig sick with that. All set up for a another money maker. Pissing great fight up to that point as well0
-
Groves hopefully learned a lesson, don't get into a tear up when well ahead.

I think Froch will have very few fans now, what we were saying early about him being disrespectfull will no be a national opinion IMO.

Everything froch said was right except the bit about the stoppage
The ref couldve given a standing 8
Its not a cheating decision it was a bad one
Rematch needed I am off to get wasted0 -
Froch did not stop the fight the ref did, granted will look like a get out of jail but groves was on his way down if not that round the next. Froch would be foolish to fight him again, he's too quick and will beat him next time.
That promoter was loving it.1 -
Its been bugging me for a while now, but I've finally figured out who Eddie Hearn reminds me of. Jamie Redknapp. Sounds exactly the same.0

Froch certainly won't be going after Ward again on tonights evidence. Re-match with Groves or retire i think.

By the way, there is no standing 8 count in title fights. Ref only has stoppage option. Crazy.0

Gutted for George. Poor decision from the ref. Great fight tho. A re-match has got to be made.0

Had it gone on another 3 rounds, the fight could've completely changed. Froch was coming on strong.
This has probably given Groves a better boost than being robbed on the scorecards after a few more Froch rounds.0 -

Can't believe what I've just seen. To be honest it makes me never wanna watch boxing again, and I love boxing. Froch always gets the iffy decision going his way.
Great fight, spoilt. Froch classless at the end again as well, lost a lot of fans tonight. Groves on the other hand...0 -
If that round had ended two of the judges would have had it level and probably Froch would have won on points. Just a shame it did't reach a natural conclusion.0

That was a joke and proves how much boxing is fixed
Joke decision groves was 4 up and I had a few quid on him

Why on earth did the ref have Groves in a headlock?!0

I think - well hope - that he was trying to have a joke. Surely...cafctom said:0 -
Agreed. I reckon Froch had two rounds at best and they were close.Southendaddick said:That was a joke and proves how much boxing is fixed

Well you've just answered your own question haven't you? The ref wanted to stop the fight and considering what had gone on before made a point of protecting Groves' head. Pretty obvious.cafctom said:0 -
That ref should be banned from stepping in the ring ever again .0

Yeah defo.Bedsaddick said:That ref should be banned from stepping in the ring ever again .
What a ridiculous statement! So maybe he got it wrong? But how thin is the line between stopping a fight and letting it go on one punch too many? I bet the ref in the Eubank/Watson fight wishes he'd stepped in earlier.
Your comment just sums you up perfectly.

For what? I think we may be at cross purposes here?I_Saw_Semedo_Score said:
Maybe I should explain how I saw it.
Tom asked why the ref had Groves in what looked like a headlock when he stopped the fight. I said to protect his head. I thought that it was pretty obvious that ref had taken into account all the "afters" that had gone on in the previous rounds, mainly by Froch. He had hit a few times after the bell and after the ref had called break and had probably been lucky not to have had a penalty against him for some of his misdemeanours.
So, when the ref decided to step in, rightly or wrongly, he was mindful of Frotch's history and so protected Groves's most vulnerable part, his head, as he pulled him away.
I hope that clears everything up.
I did't agree with the refs decision but he is an experienced professional boxing referee and none of us on here are. Except Nolly maybe.
Where is Nolly? I'm concerned.0 -
Shocking decision. I was just sat there staring at the tele with my mate reminding me this had come in for 700 odd. Weird feeling.0
