great fight, reasonable stoppage

another spectacular cobra win by Carl "The Conqueror" Froch = LEGEND
next up is andre "roid" ward getting KtfO in UK 2014

Stop crying , groves fanboys.. george is lucky the ref stopped it or he would have sustained some serious damage in the late rounds! no way he would have survived

m not trying to take anything away from george, he's a great fighter and he proved he is able to get in the ring with top contenders and have success..
I see him having a better chance vs andre ward , as he doesnt possess the same punching power or punch resistance as carl does

wouldnt recommend a rematch though, carl will be more serious next time..could end up killing the guy!

I honestly dont mind either fighter or the stoppage. If you look prior to the ref "headlocking"/Seperating them George Groves arm goes completly limp. It seemed he was out on his feet. Could it have a few more punches sure it would have made the TKO more decisive. After the seeing the scorecards im glad it was called a TKO because Froch was on his way to a really unfair decision. Froch getting the TKO saved the judges but ruined the referee. But to me it seemed like Groves would out on his feet.

Arms limp, out on his feet ? What were you watching ? Watch again, Groves was walking forward throwing punches when the ref jumped in. That's not my opinion, that's a fact. He was trading punches with his hands up, hardly a fighter out on his feet.

Here's the reality, opinions don't matter, nobody knows what would've happened next, some people like you think Groves was going to get knocked out proper in the next few seconds or rounds while others like me think Groves could've continued and came back strong, sadly we'll never know.

However due to the controversy and the way Groves handled Froch for 8 rounds there will no doubt be a rematch and the odds will favour Groves. Like all fighters he believed he could compete at that level but in the back of his mind he wasn't really sure, now however he knows for sure he can out box, out fight and hurt Froch, he'll grow from this experience so when the rematch comes he'll get his just deserts.

Froch and all his fanboys know he got seriously lucky, that wont happen again.

Horrible stoppage! Only Froch fans will say it wasn't 1.

Bad reffing/judging is ruining combat sports. Both boxing and MMA have had some horrific results this year.

Tell you what guys rather than moaning about the ref why not go out and get qualified and try it yourself.
Don't judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes....

what fight were you watching, the FACTS are froch landed 5/6 power shots unanswered, and froch catches groves with a fight hand right after a brutal hook. its on youtube fella, no need to make up "facts".

Groves then went on to turn his back, duck his head. Even he he was kicking off about the stoppage he could brely stand up straight. He was done.
