    Groves was faster, hitter harder, moved better & looked like the champ.

    If Booth was in Groves' corner tonight George would've fought smarter in those last couple of rounds. Booth would have told him not to trade as much and use the jab more.

    Why oh why did those two decide to part ways just before this fight, of all fights.

    i hope this is like a Marvin Hagler moment for George.

    Get robbed of one victory then come back to "Seek and Destoy" everything in your path to find retribution..

    Groves will knock Froch out if they meet again. No doubt about it. This fight takes more, phsycially, out of Froch than it does George.

    look at this way, who do you think is spending the night in hospital? Not groves thats for sure

    Imagine how George feels. Had everything ripped away from him tonight. Totally stained his career, could have lost millions of pounds as well.

    I could only see a case for giving Froch 2 rounds.

    a defintie fix imo.

    I watched it was 4 other people, and all of bar my brother (who's a Froch nuthugger) had given Groves every round bar the 5th.

    My brother didnt even give that round to Froch!!! Says it all. Complete fix

    Am I right in thinking that 2 of the judges had Froch only losing 2 rounds?

    Groves can't fight like that though unfortunately he can't risk getting caught in exchanges.

    Unfortunately we're powerless and it'll just keep rolling on. We'll even grease its wheels by paying for it.

    Groves will be alright, he's a very motivated guy as we've seen. This loss could take him even further.
    Can't have an opinion on the stuff going on with Booth, but good to see the respect and embrace there.
    I hope Carl is humble enough to give him a rematch.

    If you got three hallucinating, narcoleptic badgers to score a fight, they would do a better job than these judges. Human beings, even if they are stars on Made in Chelsea, can not be that incompetent. It's corruption, plain and simple

    Carl is not humble - did you hear his diatribe at the end?

    Shocking. Simply shocking.
