Amir Khan has urged Carl Froch to retire after his controversial win over George Groves. Froch retained his WBA and IBF super middleweight titles after referee Howard Foster controversially stopped last Saturday's defense against Groves, who was winning the fight on all three of the official scorecards going into the ninth. Groves floored Froch hard the first round and hurt the 36-year-old on a number of occasions before Froch rallied in the ninth, prompting Foster to jump in too early to wave the fight off.
"Froch should retire. He's on top at the moment with the belts, I really think in his next fight he'll lose those belts. He got a very close win against Groves because he was losing almost every round. He's past his sell-by date," Khan told the Daily Mail. "Froch should retire. He's on top at the moment with the belts, I really think in his next fight he'll lose those belts. He got a very close win against Groves because he was losing almost every round. The referee stopped the fight too soon, the fight would've gone the distance and Groves would've won on points."
