For delusional Froch fans saying the stoppage was a formality.

    How can anyone complain about big name foreign fighters being increasingly reluctant to come to the UK when they know that if get they get tagged a few time the ref will likely stop it and then on top of that if it goes the distance the judges will rob you.

    I was pulling for a Froch but he was getting schooled in there. Stoppage was no formality for froch.

    He got the rub of the green last night, wasn't a stoppage and you can make a strong case for Dirrell.

    As for Pascal and Kessler II - no chance.

    I think there's no doubt Groves was starting to weaken but he was far from out of the fight and in that round i think he was over the worst of it when he moved away.

    I don't think Froch had it within him to finish Groves off either, unlike his previous fights he was getting tired too.

    Different types of trouble. Being hit by single flush power shots is different to being on the end of a barrage on the ropes. Look at some of Calzaghes stoppages...

    I agree. But will no doubt get a free pass from his delusional supporters

    Saturday was a horrible stoppage and Groves would have won the fight for me.

    But in what possible way did Dirrell deserve a re-match?

    He didn't want to fight the first time!
