Is It A Duck If Froch Vacates His Title?

[elgu]

Ref helped Froch secure a victory, debating who would have won and how is pointless, nobody can be 100% sure, it was a ****** stoppage which robbed both fighters of a real conclusion and result, however Groves suffered the bigger punishment. Rematch has been ordered because Frochs victory was seen as unjust

Froch needs to man up and prove he is better, he's being offered more money, if he drops his title, its a duck

The rematch will happen and when it does Groves will be stopped because you can't gas as early as the 9th round against Froch. Also groves is packing some china.

I hold nothing against Froch for how their fight went, just how he handled it all, his arrogance and delusion in regards to it. I think Froch would beat Groves again, Groves was tired and coming undone at the seems at an alarming rate and Froch is strong down the stretch. Go figure. But don't get me wrong, the way Groves was damaging Froch, taking him out of his game and then the denial afterwards from Froch is what makes me think it would be a duck if it doesn't happen again.

Debate until the end of time why may or may not have happened if you want, the fact is the fight was stopped at a BS time, there is an element of 'who knows?' surrounding it. So despite the fact he won and how he did, if Froch continues his 'I am a superstar' delusion and avoids another potential bad showing, considering the fact it has been ordered and his split is huge compared to Groves, then yes it is a duck. Even if he sets his sights on someone bigger, Groves has presented a huge threat to him, avoiding this possibility again in the form of Groves is a duck when you look at the bigger picture.

And I prefer Froch over Groves, from a fan standpoint and in regards to their fights, don't jump on me for saying this...

Stoppage was about to happen? The stoppage did happen to every fans dismay!

Groves was defending himself, he was making himself a mobile target. There would have been a lot less uproar had Froch been stopped when stumbling all over the ring in the first round.

Still bitter?

On topic, it depends on who Froch fights. I would consider it a duck if Froch fought Ward in a strange way. GGG would be more than acceptable. Jr would be a cherry pick, but I would totally understand the reasoning behind it.

Anyone else wouldn't really be acceptable.

Not bitter.


Anyway, I think all these shenanigans in the media, is just hype to drum up interest. I'm confident that the rematch will be made next. Unless Froch retires that is....

Groves was badly hurt, no doubt about it. He should thank the ref for stopping the fight when he did and making him look a hero.

Agree. The ref secured another big payday for Groves while probably robbing Froch from getting the KO.

Froch has taken on so many challenges, and is at the end of his career, much like jmm, i dont mind if they just target big money fights to secure their financial future when they are retired

Lol Froch is a muliti millionaire already. I'd happily retire if I had a single million £

Froch was badly hurt but given the benefit of the doubt, I've never seen Carl so bashed up.

I think so too.

I would be surprised if it doesn't happen in May.

froch should star in the remake of the running man
