    Mate if boxing of this brilliance happen 'so often' we would pistol whip Football. Foster made a judgement call, that is part of the sport that we 'allegedly' love. I would agree Groves was on the wrong side of that decision, but at least we can look forward to rematch...

    What a joke froch only won the 5th and maybe got a share of another 2

    Gutted for groves the ref was a joke he should of took points off froch for elbowing punching on and after the break

    I called this immediately after Froch went down in the first. Not because Froch went down but because of the commentary. Sky were in on it. Rigged.

    I think Booth and Groves will join forces again for the rematch

    Be careful we do not want to corrupt trials that News International employees are already involved in...

    If Groves signs with Frank again there won't be a rematch.

    First off full respect to groves, he gave froch all sorts of problems tonight.

    It's a hard job being a ref as you don't want to be the one who is responsible for a life injury like Watson.

    But I have to say by the ref doing what he did was the worst outcome for this fight. As we will never know if groves powers on to a points victory or froch stops him. That's why I feel cheated but can understand the refs decision

    Can't criticise the fighters in these situations, but that was a robbery imo...As Haye said, why did he grab groves, surely he should be preventing Froch from hitting him if he is wanting to save him from punishment...

    And those scorecards were a joke...At best Froch won 3 rounds and that is being generous... That would make it 77-74 but personally I had it 78-73 and think that was fair...

    Judging in british boxing is a joke...

    Don't let this make you hate Boxing. We all know the truth, and that is all that matters.

    Poor scoring?

    those judges know exactly how to score a fight.

    That ref knows exactly when to stop a fight.

    there were no mistakes tonight. Groves got ****ed. It's that simple.

    Judging in 'boxing' is sometimes a joke, it is not 'just' Britain's fault!
