    It is not his fault, lets say it was standing 8 count, after ninth, if and only if Groves survives second half of the round, it would come to 1 point lead for Groves on my card, ad on official card Froch would have been leading...so he isnt one to blame, 3 more rounds to go losing by one on my card, and leading on official cards its anyones fight, so what should Carl say exactly??

    groves was well ahead and should have been allowed to continue.
    He proved his position and Froch should be a bit more humble and accept he was in a war he was losing
    Froch wont want rematch, full of **** and should retire as he is too old, Calzaghe finished at the right time, time for Froch to go.
    He should apologise to Groves for slagging him off as as a somebody was not in the same class. **** off Carl Frock and show a little respect youself.
    My Own opinion,
    Groves must be gutted

    Groves won every round untill that round

    Carl was desperate

    Groves was a dumb ****in Londoner, typical london twat, get big headed and ****y and get sparked

    However, he was winning easily, if he has kept the game plan it would have been a shut out, froch cannot compete with him

    I don't understand why he still insists that Groves was disrespectful.

    How did he win the fight? Was he winning the fight? yes, would he have gone on to reach the final bell? We don't know, but was he hurt and looking spent at the time of the stoppage? A big ****ing yes!

    Ok so the ref lets him take a few more big shots to the head and then stops him, thats probably what should have happened, but I don't think he was making it. Credit to Froch for getting up off the floor getting back in the fight, staying dangerous and alert in there and imposed his will on the younger man. It's a good win for Froch, yes ref was a bit too quick, but it is what it is. Rematch would be good. But I think Froch should go fight Ward one last time and sail off in to the sunset, enjoy the spoils of war he has accumulated over the years and spend time with his family.

    There is no clear indication that he would've survived the fight

    No doubt he was shipping some big punches, but scoring is round by round and very much opinion driven. So is it impossible to see that Groves could have been only one point ahead? It's not out with the bounds of possibility disregarding any notion of corruption, I personally gave Froch two rounds, just to put it into perspective.

    I didn't score it round by round, but there was a gradual shift in the action from the 5th round or so with Froch coming forward more and Groves boxing off the back foot. Groves surrendered the initiative to certain extent, but was still scoring.

    If you want to give the judges the benefit of the doubt, I guess you could argue that they were scoring Froch on effective aggressiveness and ring generalship. Probably a bit of a stretch though; to the "untrained" eye Groves was winning the fight and winning it big.

    If you consider "cracked" standing up from a flush shot and going on to win a fight later on in the fight, then sure.
    Its cracked.
