I wish it wasn't stopped but to be fair groves put the ref in a hard position when he turn his back on the guy punching him. The only guy to mention this so far is Nahseem Hamed in a post fight interview on iFL. Its the one with Eddy Hearn, Nas comes in halfway through the vid. You guys should check it out.
Some stoppages you re-watch and think "ok ref has a point" this stoppage the more you watch it the more disgusted you get and more you feel your night was ruined from watching a good fight finishing In a climax
Floored Froch heavily in the first and repeatedly buzzed him all fight. Froch finally puts a few punches together and Groves, although hurt, remains cogent, alert and able to slip punches aaannnnnddd...suddenly the ref stops it.
Groves was still throwing hard punches, went a little off balance and the ref jumped in. Ridiculous stoppage.
Yeah screw this ref. Never want to see this fat ******* in a boxing ring my entire life. He allowed Froch to clinch up pin groves arms and then continue to punch numerous times. Also Froch was allowed to hit after the break time and time again. Groves has shown good recovery skills throughout the night, I'm sure he wouldve gone on to recover and claim the wide decision victory. Another black eye for boxing. What should've been a great night was reduced to a farce. Where does this leave these two boxers, Froch was clearly embarrased, dominated and showed his age and his technical deficiencies... I can't see the public really interested in seeing Froch again. Groves made a name for himself tonight and could have gone on to fight big fights, but without a title negotiations might end up being tricky. I don't think Groves need to defeat Froch in a rematch as the public clearly believes that he was the victor on the night. Ridiculous early stoppage like that, they should take the tko off, and go to the scorecards. Its a pretty fked up situation honestly.
Definitely should have been stopped, Groves was about to get seriously injured if the ref didn't stop it when he did. Very good stoppage by the ref, of course Froch haters will scream otherwise, but nevertheless the ref did his job perfectly tonight.
:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl heres an idea.....let the guy go down at least once when he appaently has never been even rocked the whole fight. you DKSAB :hi:
lol Groves got stopped no matter how you spin it deal with it. Or just throw 6 or 7 emoticons back at me, that will really show me lol.
At the time the ref stopped it...awful. But I think groves would have been destroyed within the next 2 minutes Carl was coming on like a machine, irrelevant though as no one knows wether groves would have fought back. Bad stoppage at the time no argument, rematch should happen.
