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

[CraigM]

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?

Pretty simple... Froch agreed with the bull**** stoppage and carried on with his holier than thou crap next to a guy who just got robbed.

Groves was going for the clinch as Foster pulled him away, lets face it, Froch spent the majority of the fight trying to cheat his way through because he couldn't cope with being outjabbed and at times outfought.

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.

There was a couple of close rounds that could have gone to Froch in the first 6, Groves didn't clearly win 6 , the same as Froch didn't clearly win 4 that 2 judges gave him. I don't agree with the judges but I can see that it's possible to get the cards they did if they gave the close rounds to Froch.

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.

Are you Carl Froch?

Being wide open, taking big shots, sagging and having no power in your legs cost you the fight.

Groves was impressive, but he was in bad shape and I have no doubt he was getting stopped in the next 10 seconds regardless. One thing I always notice about Groves, his style is a carbon copy of David Haye; the style of movement, the defensive approach...you can see all of that training together has rubbed off.

Haye has much better upper body movement and power.

GROVES has a new fan,this kid has huge balls and boxing skills. He put to the canvas in the first round the iron chinned champion...amazing,GROVES dominated all fight and hurt many times FROCH,who believes GROVES was near to be stopped is fool and never been in a ring.

Great fight but a Sad day for British boxing!

Would the fight have been stopped if it was Froch? The answer is NO. Rematch at the O2 Arena is the only way to try and regain some sort of justice for British boxing. This is not just about Groves but also the paying fans whether it be tickets or box office. Get it made Eddie, your a man of credibility. Give the fans what they wan't!

HEARN believed FROCH would have destroyed the guy and he was preparing the rematch with WARD,now his dream is in the toilette fortunately brits fans are honest and journalists too,they are giving GROVES credit he deserves and they are calling the fight a robbery,RESPECT FOR THIS.

Yep I agree

The fans after the fight said it all

Just heard Eddie Hearn on sky news doesn't sound to convincing about a rematch
