Froch v Groves

EAPools · **Posted:** Sat Nov 23, 2013 12:43 am

Been a long time since I was looking forward
to a fight this much, especially an all British affair.
Personally, I hope Froch knocks 7 bells out of the gobby
cockney twat.

Referee should be sacked.

Shocking decision! Feel for Groves... Although it helped my Froch 9th round bet.

That match stinks of corruption. What were those judges watching?.... and the referee don't even start me! Unbelievable. Robbed him there, although Froch did probably have a chance to spark him in the next round, that's boxing!!!!

All I can say is pure luck that like.

In no way at all was that a stoppage, disgraceful referee. Obviously happy to get the bet up but groves was clearly robbed. I now have respect for him, great performance.

Howard was one of the judges. He flicked on the scorecard to the judge next to him

The fight shouldn't have been stopped but in real time groves looked to be turning his back and almost running away. Still in an IBF / WBA title match it should have been left to continue and the refs decision looked very hasty. I still think that Froch would have won but we'll never know.

Froch deserves a lot of credit for keeping on going, he can't half take a shot. I would think there will be a re-match next summer at a stadium like the City Ground.

O2 would be the location a reckon. Froch can certainly have a scrap like. Some of them rounds were brutal, like a street fight. Was just blow for blow. Groves has come out of it better. Bare in mind the full crowd were against him at the start then at the end they were singing his name. Was like Rocky 4!!

Groves has come out of it well because most people under-estimated him, but he still lost and even without referee intervention was probably going to lose.

If Froch had have been left to knock him out people would be talking about one of the best performances by a British fighter ever from Froch. It's a little bit unfair that the perceived early intervention by the ref has somehow tarnished a warrior performance.

If there is to be a re-match I reckon Froch will want it on home turf....
