    Froch is getting it because he can't be honest and a man as he always prides himself to be and admit he was getting schooled and the stoppage was a joke, Carl said Groves was disrespecful the only disrespectful one was Froch he was and always has been a dick

    I picked Froch to win on every boxing site, and even I think Groves was robbed. There was no reason to stop the fight.

    Groves seemed tired but for all we know that might have been just an impression. He had never been stopped before and deserved the benefit of the doubt.

    Froch was going to destroy Groves in the late rounds.

    I picked Froch to smash Groves but Groves beat the sh!t out of Froch. Froch is done.

    Watt had the best scorecard/

    It was VERY bad. IF you didn't see it, Groves did get wacked with a hard shot and fell back to the ropes. Froch stormed in and started raining power shots on him. One or 2 got thru as Groves covered up, and one right really landed solidly and shook Groves up bad. He tried to clinch, but didn;t get a good hold. Froch started to throw a few shots(dicey, possibly rabbit punches, IIRC......and the ref pulled the plug.

    Plain and simple: George is the good guy of the two

    I don't think even Froch's biggest fans hype him as some kind of pugilist genius. What he is, is a warrior. And he showed that in spades again.

    Worst decision ever in history of Sport.

    Embarrassment to boxing and especially British boxing, everything that happened in the fight is know meaningless.

    :patsch

    Froch will quit on his stool somewhere 7-8 because he is getting ANNIHILATED.

    Pizza Pecu Faerun said Golovkin has no fights at 168, he dont need to have fights there to beat that living dead Carl.

    Incidentally, I do think Froch would have finished him late but Groves certainly should have been given the chance to continue. He earned it.

    Carl has had no defence his full career but has a hell of a chin. getting cought cold in the first round can happen to anyone but he is always going to be bad against fast fighters.
    But tonight he looked bad was backing off not controling the jab being beaten to the punch and forced to punching after the break and throwing elbows.

    The fight was stopped early but george should have taken a knee should have held he should have done anything apart from what he did do. Was an early stoppage but how much longer should the ref have left it. if he was not willing to take a knee you are always open to the risk of being pulled out
