Is there anyone who still doubts Froch was about to KTFO groves in fight 1?

    He seemed to get a good second wind against Kenny Anderson.

    nah youth and hunger
    Even so that British level
    there's levels to this shyte hence it taking four cracks at a title to win said title against a middleweight then defend it against two middleweight
    And he picked or of the middleweights him self

    Clearly a premature stoppage. Was fuming at the time.

    Second fight was definitive. Fair enough.

    It's not really the point, the point is the fight was stopped terribly when it was, Groves was buzzed but still firing back and looked perfectly fine to continue on. If the referee hadn't ****ed it up in spectacular style then Froch would have had the opportunity to do it properly and Groves would have been given a chance to ride out the storm, which looking by Frochs last few punches, he had done as there was nothing on them.

    If Marquez had been stopped ten seconds before he KO'd Pacquiao it would have been a better stoppage than this, if Corrales had been stopped a couple of seconds before he stopped Castillo there would have been no complaints, I could go on and on but we really don't know how that fight would have went if the ref hadn't completely ballsed it up and that is the point of people's complaints in this fight.
