    That's to many in such a short space of time. Eddie will play the usual spin and all will be forgiven

    Eddie Hearn's usual post-f*x interview:

    From where I was sitting it looked a win / draw / stoppage, now I can understand the opposing opinion.

    There were some close rounds that could've been scored either way.

    let's not take anything away from XXXXX he fought so hard in there and he doesn't control the referee / judge's decision.

    Matchroom lack a proper champ, now I think about it.
    Ultimate respect to Froch and he has been for ages, but that was not a stoppage tonight.

    Here's my Top 5 Dodgy Decisions brought to you by Eddie Hearn on SkySports Boxing

    1) Froch vs Groves

    2) Burns vs Beltrand

    3)Bellew vs Chilemba

    4)Quigg vs Salinas

    5)Rose vs Maxiel

    The commentary in these fights usually features the matchroom fighter doing 'the better clean work' (even when hitting gloves or landing F All) while the opponent is 'tiring and not landing anything clean' (even when connecting clean on the face)

    Darren Barker vs Felix Sturm is quite an iconic fight in many ways.

    Eddie says Carl was unconcious when he went down and unconcious when he got up, but is given the benefit of the doubt and can recover because he is, in Eddie's words "not right in the head"

    But Eddie also says, a couple of minutes later, that there was no way Groves would have recovered and if the fight had lasted another 3 seconds he would have been knocked out clean.

    The guys a fair-weather ***** like every other promoter simple as.
