The press scores show just how bad the scoring was on this one even before the ref made a big error by jumping in and stopping the fight
my card is also on the site along with the 46 press scores and a press average score
for 2 judges to have this 4-4 in rounds is wrong
comments welcome

I had it 77-74 entering the 9th, and Froch was heading to a stoppage, or at least a 10-8 round.
Fight was getting close, Groves was running out of steam and Froch was coming on strong.
Exactly how I thought it was happening. Thought Froch won 2 or 3 rounds, thought certainly not 4 or only 1.
Terrible stoppage that robbed us all of a very interesting clean end to the fight. Could have been epic.

Damn....not a good look for Froch, the ref and 2 judges....smh....Groves was way up imo when the ref saved Froch's titles....I didn't give the kid a chance in he'll....but he beat Froch's ass CLEARLY in the entire front half of the fight....the kid started falling apart during the back half but he was still live imo....I don't think Froch would've stopped that kid....the pup became a dog last night....good sh1t Groves......respect!!:notworthy
