Early stoppage? Yes. Groves to last another 3 rounds? Doubt it...

[sicko]

Still no excuses for that **** STOPPAGE!

Bad stoppage but I agree, I think Froch was on his way to stop Groves. Groves was very tried and Froch was getting confident, but yeah the ref screwed it.

[Motofan]

Groves tends to gas late, he lost a lot of late rounds VS Degale... and was taking flush shots finally. He would have been stopped.

Agreed. Groves was gassed and Froch was getting to him. I think there was a very good chance Froch would have got him out of there with the way the fight was going.

Robbery...

Robbed of what? Disgusting stoppage, yes. But what was Groves robbed of? A chance to fight back? I guess so. But let's not act as if Groves would have this won indefinitely if the ref didn't stop it.

[Salardo]

I see it like this: stoppage.
At the end he traded with Froch when he was hurt, which is a recipe for disaster. I got a feeling Froch might have stopped him, but to be honest, I can easily see that Groves would have recovered and won the fight by a wide decision.

This ^^^^.

So many ******s on NSB. They call every stoppage a 'robbery'. Yes, it was a BS intervention by the ref, but Froch was on his way to stopping him.

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

He might not have made it another 15 seconds but should have been given those 15 seconds.

Couldn't have put that better. Absolutely.

[Radical]

he was off balanced and staggered but not near going down...he was eating up Froch's best punches all night. he got caught but could have escaped the flury had the ref stayed out of it

would you have thought that if the ref stopped the fight in the 4thmarquez-paquiao fight ? its boxing **** happens . froch was rabbit punching and doing some other desperate chit gtoves could have came back with a wll timed/placed shot

[dirty fingers]

Agreed. I think Froch was going to get the stoppage. Ref still sucks. I want to see the clean KO.
