It was a poor stoppage even from that angle because you can clearly see Groves was throwing back, he also immediately disputed the stoppage and told the ref to "f**k off". He would have been stopped later on by Froch but that referee really is the one who prevented Froch from finishing the job clean.

Watch this I think those screaming premature stoppage might think a little bit differently.

Terrible stoppage, I don't care what angle is presented.
It was a world title fight for fcuks sake. Typical British stoppage. Let's stop making excuses for it. It robbed Froch of the victory as he would have probably stopped Groves anyway down the stretch and us punters got robbed too because it was premature in my eyes

He is lucky the referee did stop it because he was not under any circumstances defending himself.
He was done and out for a few seconds.
Can say headlock all you like, look at his body language prior, during and after that. Look at his posture, his arms.

Originally posted by Weebler I View PostTwo brutal right hands landed on the button. Groves was going to get laid out imo, the referee's arguably premature stoppage has almost guaranteed him a rematch and the biggest payday of his career.
(I voted for Froch by KO).
