Comments Thread For: Froch Dropped Hard, Gets Questionable TKO of Groves

[dankitydank]

Anybody got a link for the video???????

At least learn how to quote me. Anyway, Terry O'Conner and Phil Edwards want to have a word with you.

Keep Froch faaaaar away from Ward too.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Your post (copied and pasted now) was: Typical British stoppage. I bet they were gonna rob Groves anyway.

So how was that different to what I quoted? Oh sorry, I missed the 'I' before 'bet.'

Still, I think I got the basic premise. And why would Terry O'Conner and Phil Edwards want to have a word with me exactly??

I now have watched the replay of the stoppage many times & I don't have a problem with it. groves was done like dinner & the ref got in the way of froch hitting while he was defenceless... kudos to groves but froch deserves some credit for gutting it out. I had groves way ahead & was very excited throughout. froch proved again what a true champion he is. he wasn't the judge (2 were blind) but he executed groves. spectacular comeback. i'm not blind either. watch the replay a few times if you haven't already. count the unanswered bombs with his hands down...

And people wonder why Ref's are scared to stop fights........
Wish this guy had been officiating Mago's last bout...

just wondering T did you see the fight, there was nothing you could compare to the mago fight . NOTHING. stoppage was horrible period!

[MDPopescu]

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.

Groves fell into the ropes because Froch pushed him...

Great fight George didn't show me anything I didn't already know I knew he was good but he showed weaknesses in the later rounds it was evident he was gassing and he started taking clean shots his legs had gone it was an early stoppage but to be honest if anyone doesn't think the stoppage was coming your insane George was done he had no energy he had given his all and it wasn't Enough this fight reminds me of taylor vs froch groves was in that exact same state that taylor was in and we all knew what happened then.

I honestly think that 1st round knock down not only hurt Froch, but it might have concussed him. Dude was shaky after that, not fighting like he usually does, and after the fight he kept rambling on and on pointlessly. Dude was hurt.

Anyone saw when the ref wipe his face and looked like he knew he stop the fight too early.

[Straightener]

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.

I agree agree mate I'm 100% with you make makes me sick . Makes me think ftttk boxing sometimes 👎

I'm really sorry to say but British referee's are not up to world title standards - this is not the first time this has happened stopping fights prematurely, I have seen this so many times. CARL has even dropped more in my respect for him he will never be in Calzaghe's class never, his interview after the fight was an absolute disgrace, if it was the other way round believe me his tune would of been different.
