Froch is deluded. I think he'd have gone on to stop Groves anyway, but not then, not in that way. One of the worst stoppages I've seen in a major fight....but yet typical of British refs. This **** happens ALL THE TIME with them. Just usually not at this level.
Froch got schooled. Hearn is crooked as fcuk, judges were obviously trying to do everything they could to give Froch the fight and Howard Foster should be shot. Groves should be world champion right now
Damned straight. They took the brass ring right of the kid's hand, and he had had a good grip. Now, don't get me wrong, he still had to win the fight, and that was no foregone conclusion. Froch was starting to make in roads and had hurt Groves, which could have swung the fight in his direction...... but still, Groves was solidly ahead.
It was a great fight, which is why the stoppage and the revelation of the official cards make this such a disappointing **** show. I'd say about even in terms of who was in worse shape, but the fact that Groves was hurt later after both were fatigued maybe gives and edge to Froch being in slightly better shape.
Truthfully Froch should be more pissed than Groves, the bad stoppage robbed him of what probably woulda been a good comeback stoppage.
Froch got cheered and Groves got boo'd on the way in. Groves getting cheered and Froch getting boo'd now.
It was awful! While I do think Groves was shaken, I have no idea if Froch had enough gas in the tank to drop him.
