    Groves come out of this far better, Just listening to the crowd that were booing him bad then cheering him at the end should tell you. He will not get a rematch i would bet my life on it.

      Yes it came out better than if the ref had let it go on and he got stopped. Everyone can pretend he wasn't tired, hurt and more than a quarter of the fight left.

          I agree, it's the people talking as if Groves had it won I don't agree with, like the tide wasn't changing.

            ... The Ring: "Groves was in trouble, but not all of the shots were landing cleanly when the referee jumped in to halt the contest. A glorious ending was taken away from Froch and Groves was robbed of his chance to recover, as the crowd reacted furiously and turned on the champion as the ring was invaded."

              That's my opinion, too.

              Froch would have stopped Groves, perhaps brutally if the ref hadn't dived in.

              That said, the ref should have given Groves a standing count.

                I went onto twatter to get a view of what groves was saying and this is an interesting picture

                Someone the ref knows says he saw him on tv and makes a prediction on the fight which the ref "likes". As it turns out Howard Foster actually did stop the fight in round 9

                  The 6th round was a right hand massacre.

                    Nobody can make an account named Howard Foster and like something can they?

                      Is that the round where Froch got hit with a 6 punch combo? Why didnt the ref stop the fight?
