Carl Froch vs George Groves IBF SMW Title & Undercards Prediction Discussion Thread

[Tom Cruise]

The ropes keep him up after a straight right.

Those last two shots Groves took were heavy as **** and he wasnt doing anything to take the sting off em. No where near stoppage territory mind.

Groves definitely needs to learn how to keep his composure while hurt and not just wildly swing back while wobbling around.

I really don't know what fight the commentators were watching??I really believe the UK does not like Froch..He does not fit what they believe a star should be or something..I mean Froch would land,they would say nothing..Groves lands they go wild..Reminded me of Bradley Pac all over again..Which is odd I usually love the commentators from across the pond..

Going into the 9th I had it 5 to 4 for Groves ,I did not think Groves was that far ahead,or that he was schooling or beating Froch up like the answers were claiming..Even in the 8th,Groves clearly hits Froch twice in back of the head..Froch answers back with a three punch combo,they start talking about taking a point away from Froch..

Now my opinion on the stoppage,it was clearly a bad stoppage..Groves was badly hurt,but he was still punching back and tbh,was not getting hit too cleanly at all...Very bad stoppage,I hope there is a rematch tbh..Groves deserves it,but by no means do I think Groves would have won this fight..He was looking ready to be stopped..

What was the judges scorecards??Anyone know..

One judge has it Groves 5 points up two had him 1 point up.

I agree which everything you've said in your post.

Is that mistake or did you score two rounds even? If so what rounds?

I had it 5 to 4 Groves,but remember it was a KD..

I also gave rds 2 4 5 and 8 to Froch..There were a lot of close rds in this fight,I did not feel any rds were lop sided..Outside of the first(cause of the KD)and I believe the 3rd where Groves out fought Froch..

Wow,not bad scores at all..It seemed as if all three judges seen it how a lot of fight fans saw it..Some saw a close fight and others a blowout..

I think everyone should agree that it was a bad stoppage tho,I mean I was shocked when the ref came in..I thought he was going to give Groves a standing 8,but then he just waved it off..

That's still one round too many going into the ninth?

Well then if you wanna be PC,I had it 4-4 with a extra point for Groves for a KD..
