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

    By this logic, they might as well not fight. It was a **** stoppage.

      I thought he was on the way out

      Premature stoppage but not a robbery because at the time of the stoppage it looked like he was going to get knocked out

      he should have been given the chance to go on but if he had i think he would have lost.

      Can't say "the wrong man won" because i think froch was going to win at that stage it wasnt like groves was in control, he was wilting and he does't have good recovery

        Don't say that. You're gonna get flamed. People don't like the truth.

            The point here is we didn't get a chance to see if this was true or not. It was stopped extremely early.

                Froch robbed of a great victory, had to settle for a sketchy one

                it was a very bad stoppage

                  Maybe not but at least he deserved an opportunity.

                  I don't know if the ref thought Groves was losing the fight or what. But the crowd thought this was a close fight, everyone watching thought it was competitive with Groves ahead.

                  Tough break, but Groves was the better boxer.

                    This isn't rationalizing, I think that the ref robbed Froch of the chance of actually knocking out Groves.

                    It was a bad stoppage, no doubt about that, but the truth is also that Groves was getting tired and Froch was coming strong.

                      Utter rubbish

                      You are just guessing

                      Froch looked in trouble throughout the fight

                      Groves stamina was the only issue, Froch never hurt him
