Groves appeals to BBBOC for NC

The IBF ordered the rematch stating.........

That " Inappropriate conduct by Howard Foster, contributed to Groves losing the fight" .

 

Should be a NC really.

 

Correct, that being he stopped the fight too early. They never said he should have taken points off or that the judges score cards were wrong. Groves never made a complaint about the judges

 

But the governing body was the BBBofC and they backed foster from the start. They wont be swayed by the IBF who were the Sanctioning body not governing.

 

Ridiculous. It would set up a savage precedent, wih fraudulent appeals coming from EVERYWHERE. Soon retrospective appeals will become the norm from fights that took place ages ago. Poor scorecards will be appealed against, and they take place on a weekly basis. A sport like boxing is always going to be prone to errors from refs and judges. How are you going to prove corruption as opposed to incompetence?

It's a joke. He needs to get over it and move the hell on. Honestly.

 

so ryan the ***** is just making **** up

 

I follow the sport very closely, and like you i have never heard or read any official statement that mentioned, scorecards, or point deductions.

 

I don't think the result was fair. The stoppage should not have happened, Groves was winning and the scorecards were off imo. The fairest result would be a NC and lets do the fight again. I don't care about precedents, if a result is unfair then it shouldn't stand.

I'm not saying it will be declared a NC, but it should be.

 

groves is lucky anderson did not take the route which he as done regaurding thier fight
debatable stopage and all and was he a head on points on that i aint sure , and i heard kenny was pissed the way the fight was stopped , double standards for the triple appealer

 

Yep, I said something similar on another thread, he also didn't give Anderson a re-match, in fact didn't he agree to re matches, put him through 2 camps and then pull out due to injury or better offers!

 

Interesting to see what the BBBoC rule

 

Hard to argue otherwise with that ruling.

Groves is getting tiresome though, it is not that he is appealing, it is how whiny he has continued to be!

 

Maybe Boxing should swallow it's pride by introducing a new scoring system.

 

He always makes sh*t up, i think the 10 pints of ironbrew and vodka are frying his brain

 

What are people getting tired of ?? If groves wants pursue this let him

Does " George appeals to bbboc " really take much out of anybody's day ??
