I hate Froch even more now Fighting dirty, being a sore loser, stinking of arrogance. Gift decision. He was absolutely schooled and shown up for his lack of skills. Disgrace. And to top it off two of the judges only had two rounds it - how????
Give over. Just before the ref stepped in he caught Froch with two shots. Looked worse because of the way he shaped his body. He was no worse than Froch in Round One, other than being more fatigued. I never swear, but that was just ****ing awful and a complete travesty
Re: I hate Froch even more now Ref was definitely in froch's corner. I do think froch would have gone on to win though. Groves wasn't gonna finish it and it wasn't gonna go the distance. Proper brawl.
Re: I hate Froch even more now Points scoring was ridiculous. I think Froch would've finished him off though, even though Groves fought brilliantly up to then. Stopped way too early though
Not a chance mate. Froch wasn't fresh enough to chase him down. Groves could have taken an 8 count and got to the end of the round. Terrible, terrible decision. Possibly the worst championship stoppage in history, echoed by boxing 'experts' around the world
Froch ringside interview - shut your mouth you arrogant pig headed to$$er. I don't like Froch by the way!
Froch's ringside interview is nothing short of disgraceful. What an absolute **** of a man he is. An interview full of arrogance and lies. Feel so sorry for George Groves. He's just had a lifetime dream taken away
Yeah, he should've let us find out. I think the fact that Groves was swinging out whilst he was getting battered was worrying. I think he'd have got taken down personally, but the ref stepped in way too early, especially considering the punishment he let Froch take
Groves deserves everything he gets from Froch tonight! He has been a absolute lovely person for weeks.
How has he though? Yes, he's not being the most articulate, but all he did was say what he believed were weaknesses, and then backed it up. His behaviour was nowhere near as bad as the media and Sky Sports made out. Surprising that though when they've got a £15 box office fight to sell .....
Froch's comments in that post match interview were very, very poor. He's lost 25% of his fan base after that, if not more. Did you hear the rubbish coming out of his mouth? Groves might have ridiculed Froch's boxing resume, but he went on to expose him for it. What's wrong with that?
Especially in the context of the fight, that stoppage was disgusting and totally unexpected, Groves was still returning. There was a suggestion that he should have just gone down or held on - he probably didn't think he was really in much danger so that would have been far from his mind. I probably only watch two or three fights a year live but I've still seen loads of occasions where the fight isn't stopped until the bloke on the receiving end is getting a right pummelling.
Completely right. He caught Froch with two shots, Froch caught him with two in return. Ref stopped it, but Froch wasn't fresh enough to hound him down and the punches he through as the ref jumped in were from the waist and not threatening. He deserved another ten seconds or at least see where a groves was once his body shape returned
The stoppage was too early imho, but there was close to 1 and a half minutes left and I think Froch would have produced a more conclusive finish. I thought Groves performed brilliantly, excellent boxing and great power, deserves to be considered as world class. To respond to your point, Froch won because he is absolutely nails.
