    No way was that an early stoppage. Anderson has a good chin but he was finished. He was taking heavy shots to the head, turning and backing up without throwing anything back. He looked totally gassed from throwing so many big shots and taking so many to the body.

    Groves needs some serious work on his defense and needs to learn how to stick to a game-plan. I can't believe he was told to back up onto the ropes and try and pull a Mayweather. That being said, he's 22 and if he does what he needs to he could be VERY good.

    Props to Anderson. He definitely went for it and anyone who says he lacked heart is full of it. He had nothing left.

    Them body shots from Groves took everything out of Anderson. They were bombs.

    Terrible stoppage. Give a standing 8 count and then decide whether the fighter is fit to continue rather than just jump in.

    Nothing wrong with the stoppage, he was done and didn't complain.

    Groves showed his potential and class tonight. Switched his tactics, kept his head and took control.

    That was a fairly deadly fight, kind if wanted Groves to lose, but he showed some good heart.

    Come on, :lol:. That was not a TERRIBLE Stoppage.

    Slightly premature, but nothing more.

    No standing 8s in Pro boxing. Go to the back of the class.

    Adam Booths style of training is ****ing ****. Both Groves and Haye have horrible, ineffective defenses. The only reason Haye has gotten to world level is the terrible divisions he has competed in. Unfortunaly Groves doesn't have the same luxury and will be lucky to make it passed European level.
