    I usually like Watt but he was very biased last night, even I noticed it.

    I'm neither fan nor detractor of Groves or Froch but its clear to see that Groves exposed some of Froch's weaknesses early on in the fight.

    However, there was only one way the fight was going if it had continued after the stoppage. Froch had begun to show the qualities which make him one of the best SMW in the world (anyone that disputes this is biased, just look at the man's resume).

    Groves was getting caught hard and turning away from the action, I think he had begun to gas and Froch would have dominated the ensuing rounds.

    When Groves got stopped he was a lot less hurt than Froch was in the first round when he got put flat on his back, did you see the replay? His eyes were closed as he went down and he was staggering around like a drunk when he got back up. Had that of been Groves then the ref would have stopped it.

    The thing is Groves should have been far enough in front to just stay away from Froch for last couple of rounds and win a wide UD, however having now seen the paid off judges cards, he would have been robbed anyway, it's just that the paid off ref (who allowed Froch to punch after the breaks every single time) got in there first.

    Commentary was fine. Froch was supposed to walk through Groves so when Groves was bossing the fight early on Watt called it like it was. Froch looked ****. Groves looked good and Watt said as much. Stoppage was premature, Watt said so. Scorecards were ridiculous, Watt said so.

    He went down but he got back up and his legs were fine soon after. Groves should have taken a knee instead of turning his back, which he did more than once.

    It was totally one sided, I struggled to give Froch one round. For most of the fight it looked a complete mismatch. Froch will never set foot in the ring with Groves again

    Exactly. Watt was spot on last night, Froch dickriders can't get over how badly he got schooled and embarrassed

    I had to put it on mute after the third round as I was in danger of breaking my television; awful and completely biased commentary.

    He was incredibly biased, just because Groves was outboxing and looking good doesn't mean you can completely ignore everything the other fighter does. Horrible commentary yesterday.

    The TS makes it look like 4-4 was fair enough for this fight. Ah well..
    I don't care about Watts' commentary, but I believe what I saw, and I was witnessing Froch being outboxed by a large margin if you count by rounds. I would give Froch one round, or maybe two with a stretch, but 4? I mean 4??
