Comments Thread For: George Groves: My Chinny Rep Cost Me The Fight

[Daddy T]

I'm not dis*****g the the ref stoppage was bull**** early; it's just the outcome from it.

Headline reads;

"Froch completely outclassed, controversial TKO ..."

Which instead very likely would have read

"Froch recovers from a first round knockdown, to claw his way back and get a definitive stoppage against the brave Groves"

First headline = what actually happened.
You're alternative headline = conjecture.
So do you think in future headlines should not report fact and rather report what may have happened in your opinion IF...

Fed up of hearing Groves was robbed, he didn't have the fight won by a long shot. Nobody wins in a situation like this.

The way the score cards were heading he was getting f**ked either way

Embarrassing ending to a great fight

Why would they report something that didn't happen?

The ref robbed Groves the chance of regaining himself and fighting on, he also robbed Froch of a clean victory.

Aside from the bull**** stoppage, the scorecard didn't help?, yet everyone was booing Froch .. why?

They weren't that bad, Froch definitely won 7 and 8 and there was a couple of close rounds, Groves won more clear rounds but it wasn't a shut out.

Groves needs to thank the ref.

5 seconds later and Groves would/could have been out cold on the ground, but since the ref stepped in too early, there's all this misconception that he was 'robbed', he was robbed of carrying on, not winning the fight ...

He lives to fight another day, to get a rematch and a pay day; 5 seconds later and he would be back to journeyman status from getting KO'd by a man who fought bravely to return from a round 1 KD, but let's pretend the first 6 rounds were the entire 9.

B0LLOCKS! absolute B0LLOCKS!! Kessler was in far worse condition in spots during the 1st fight & alot in 2nd fight yet he managed compose himself and reach the final bell.

As all the commentators explained we were robbed of seeing George's powers of recovery.

Shoddy officiating from the ref, possibly corrupt.

Froch's interview this morning on sky news was hilarious. The guy is always contradicting himself!! First he says it was a tad early then says it was a perfect stoppage and that Groves was in unconsciousness!! LMAO

As you're suggesting groves won the first 6 with a knock down as rob mccracken also suggested on sky news so he was up 5 points. Maybe not a shutout but far ahead.
