    Froch vs Groves slow motion stoppage

    Does this clip make the stoppage more or less legit?

    It gives a perfect insight into how both men looked in the ring.



    If someone could please imbed, that would be great.

    I'm on mac.

    it was a legit good stoppage, people jsut got their panties in a bunch because forch has never been that hurt and grooves was winning the fight but he was out and badly hurt.

      It looks like Froch was actually landing more cleanly than I originally thought and Groves missed a punch I previously thought he had landed but it's still a terrible stoppage because Groves was still throwing back up to the point he ducked down and the referee then quickly cradled him in his arms and stopped it. The fact Groves was throwing back and had never touched the canvas just gives the ref no grounds to stop the fight at that point.

        The slo-mo makes it look worse.

        In real time it all happened very quickly, and eventhough he was hurt, the ref definitely jumped in too quick.

        Slow motion doesnt necessarily make things clearer

          Thats a stoppage you'd see in the amateurs. For a world title fight, its not even close to legit

            Groves was throwing back so no...

            Whichever angle or speed you have it, George was throwing back and went to hold... people are entitled to their opinions though.

              it was legit stoppage, the alst two show froch landed went unanswered and grooved ducked down and not to clinch but to run away, his damn back was gonna be turned to froch that a sign of not wanting to fight no more.

                He had his gloves up, Froch shoves him away, he doesnt turn his back at all.
                They both threw punches at the same time, you cant say Froch punches went unanswered.

                  Groves was done and Froch was never that hurt... the bombs Froch took in that fight and too come back should be admired and respected and this is one of the greatest wins of hios career yet people jump off his bandwagon simply because the ref stopped the fight 3-5 seconds prematurely

                    Ridiculous.

                    The ref should've brought the staff an entire ER into the ring right away after the KD in the first round if he thought Groves was hurt enough for the fight to be stopped at that time.
