    Absolute disgrace. It was a clear fix. The referee should be sacked immediately.

      Pile of **** ref in the pockets of the bookmakers.
      Poor Groves, a rematch he KO's Froch for sure.
      Bet Froch don't want it, but maybe to much money to refuse?

            I 100% believe that Froch would have finished Groves later in the round or in the next few anyway. BUT, that stoppage was ridiculous and we were robbed of a classic finish.

              Yeah, not surprising. This is what I have come to expect from U.K. officiating. I was picking Groves for the upset, were it not for the disgraceful premature stoppage, Groves would have pulled this off.

                This fight was ****ing fixed. Abhorrently bad scoring to have Groves up by only one round in a fight where he got a knockdown and was dominating; the stoppage goes beyond words.

                  The ref did what he thought was best, settle this with a rematch. The ref stopped it probably because he saw Groves stumbling and fell into the ropes badly while Carl was hitting him.

                    I was thinking the same... seconds after the stoppage...

                      Nobody knows what would of happened.Groves wasn't as hurt as people are making out,Froch got dropped bad and was more hurt than Groves was at the time of the stoppage at least 3 or 4 times.
