    dunno if i missed something but how can a pro boxer be considered a 'bully'?! are people talking about pre fight interviews and conferences? or in the ring? because either way, id laugh really really hard if a fighter came out and said he felt bullied by another :D pathetic
    Of course, its a different matter if you mean bullied around the ring, that obviously happens. but it seems in relation to froch the term isn't being used as a positive.

    Froch was hurt much more than Groves was, but Froch's referee made sure that Froch did not lose the fight. The ref should be banned and a rematch ordered, change the criminal decision to a no decision. Should be an immediate investigation also................

    In the final press conference, I'm pretty sure that Froch said he wouldn't shake Groves' hand after the fight, regardless of how the fight went.
    At first he kept his word, then he contradicted himself again. He's a very complicated man.:D
    I don't understand how you couldn't shake an opponent's hand after a fight like that.

    You won't be able to boycott because he's fun to watch. Face it, if it wasn't for Froch taking this serious fight you wouldn't be discussing nor cheering for Groves. I'm a big fan of both(Groves won me over easily) but your thread and post is full of baseless nonsense.

    I do agree that the stoppage was complete garbage and bull**** as expected in England but to quote Calzaghe is a complete joke. Calzaghe never liked Froch due to obvious jealousy that Froch achieved more far sooner and got far more love and respect from the public than Calzaghe ever did.

    I don't understand why there is so much hatred to Froch all of a sudden.

    He took a massive shot in the first and did well to get up.

    He was outworked and outclassed for much of the fight up until the 8th where he worked himself back into the fight.

    Groves was tiring in the 9th and was caught with some big bombs form Froch.

    Yes the ref was premature in stopping the fight and who knows what would have happened if it would have carried on.

    however those "fans" giving froch grief should be focussing their attention on the ref.

    Damn this website has too many assholes on it. Froch gave it his all and got a beating that not many people would have taken. Yes it was an early stoppage and yes I would have liked for it to carry on, but i'm not the one in the ring taking those bombs. After this fight i'd put Groves number 2 in the SMW rankings. He is only 25 years old and will go on to fight another day and be world champion.

    As for Froch, he deserves his dues, even though some of the things he says were wrong. I hope he retires from boxing and vacates the titles. No point in going into a rematch with someone that dominated you for almost every round except the end. I like Froch and he has higher priorities in his wife and kids.

    The way Froch spoke after the fight was shocking, reminded me of Lennox after the Vitali fight, desperately trying to convince himself that it wasn't close and refusing to give Groves due credit.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Froch had a concussion.

    :deal

    Froch is not responsible for the referee.

    In my view the ref and his controllers a FECKING DISGRACE! (i know the word disgrace is banded around lots on esb but this **** actually is one).

    He stopped what could have been one of the greatest fights in YEARS
