Comments Thread For: Groves Applauds IBF's Ruling: We've Got a Bit of Justice!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Carl Froch has been ordered to give domestic rival George Groves a rematch within 90 days or be stripped of his world title by the International Boxing Federation.

Froch claimed on Friday that Groves rejected "a seven-figure sum" for a second chance after their controversial fight in November, which the champion won with a contentious ninth-round stoppage to keep his WBA and IBF belts.

Groves admits he has turned down an offer but is adamant he is as eager as ever to get back into the ring with Froch, and his cause has been helped after the IBF decided the bout was controversial enough to merit an immediate rematch.

Heard reason groves rejected was because hearns wanted a 2 year commitment to fight under hi m which groves turned down

I'm so tired of hearing this crybaby. Groves and Marquez should have a party in crybaby land where they drink each other's piss.

If you hadn't watched the froch - groves fight you could have sworn froch's entourage jumped into the ring WWE style when the referee wasn't looking and punched groves to weaken him. But no, that's not what happened. What happened was he got hit with a vicious combination and was on his way out of here. Yes the ref stopped it early but this isn't the robbery groves is making it out to be.

Froch now has to fight him or vacate.

He pulled a Bob Arum.

Groves is a bi!@#$%!

Groves should NOT get an immediate rematch as he lost and he NEVER gave DEGALE a rematch! Who does he think he is? He was NOT the champ and Froch deserves to fight anyone he wants, as he is a TRUE WARRIOR! I take it that the IBF got some money under the table!

While I don't necessarily agree with the IBF's decision, I'm glad we're getting a rematch and relatively soon.

Yes, I bet he wishes he had taken that 7 figure offer.
