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

Ref robbed froch, groves and the people.

The ref single handedly ruined the fight

[CLUE]

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.

The truth is no ones knows what would have happened. The end.

[kurt0411]

Yeah ultimately we are forced to " what ifs"

Ref is a joke

[Los Zetas]

Guys I know I am guessing and say it was an early stoppage. However I don't think it was a robbery. Froch has the power to stop people late

i.e Taylor anyone? He was teeing off on Groves who has barely throwing back and taking big shots and gassing out.

It is a GUESS but with 3 rounds and also THAT round too, I had a feeling Froch could finish him. He's a great finisher.

[GhostBlade]

You never know. Maybe Froch would have been stopped from the accumulation of punches. Either way, Groves was robbed of his opportunity and so was the boxing public. This could have been fight of the year had it gone to its proper finish.

Did I say that he was going to get stopped? No

I said that Groves was getting tired, which he was, and that Froch was coming strong, which he was doing too.

[Jam Jars]

Utter rubbish

You are just guessing

Froch looked in trouble throughout the fight

Groves stamina was the only issue, Froch never hurt him

Groves said he was hurt at the time of the stoppage not hurt enough to stop the fight but he was hurt.

[SnakeVen0m]

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

Based on your point of view it would be fair for someone to say, they don't wanna see Ward fight Froch in the UK, since we ALL know he's gonna dominate.

[TGD]

100% Froch was stopping him. When Froch gets on top he's a devastating finisher. Groves was clearly shaken down to his boots, but the ref did jump in a bit too quickly.

[gmc_rfc_06]

Ref robbed both.

Groves should have had a chance, but Froch was denied a KO that was a few seconds away IMO.
