Should the referee have stopped the fight?

[KO'er]

What do you guys think? In my opinion he shouldn't have.

He shoulda given a 10 count if he was in doubt. To stop it was totally, undisputably wrong.

Is the earth flat? Neither question is worth asking at the moment.

Disgusting.

It was clearly an early stoppage... it ruined a great fight.

[ShoulderRoll]

It was a terrible stoppage.

[Bermuda]

no...to me it looked like groves stumbled..even when the ref stopped it and pressed groves against the ropes you can see he still had a clear head and even was walking fine after...

That referee should be sacked, he was a disgrace to boxing. I know what happened to Mago was very unfortunate, but Groves was clearly still on his feet and not stumbling. Atleast give him the 8 count? Disgusting. This is the reason why boxing is becoming a dying sport.

Groves wasn't as hurt as people make out, Froch was gassed throwing pitter patters

Groves hands were still up and he had thrown 2 punches before he was stopped

The ref is a ****t, how can you stop a fight when the boxer is still throwing punches and has his hands up and hasn't even touched the canvas

How could he give a 10 count to a fighter that wasn't on the canvas?

However, I have to agree with pretty much everyone else in the thread, the stoppage was early. I do think that Froch was heading to a legitimate stoppage, though. Groves was genuinely shaken and had been getting caught more often and more cleanly over the last could of rounds, but he deserved a fighting chance.
