Comments Thread For: Froch Not Happy Over Groves Demand For Neutral Officials

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Why would Froch complain about neutral officials?

I hope there's mandatory PED testing too. Froch looked like he was on something when he fought Bute.

Yeah he was "on" Bute's ass and knocked him the *** out.

Get over it you utter *****

[boxingfocus]

Yeah, but Canelo wasn't just about to knock Angulo out.

Anyway, Froch has a point, Groves is putting the fight at risk if he insists on this. The BBBoC can just say 'no', leaving Hearn running to Luxembourg like Warren for Chisora-Haye.

WTF. You can't be serious.

Canelo absolutely spanked Angulo. If a KO wasn't coming, considerable damage was. All that stoppage did was save a toothless tired old Angulo from either a KO and/or more longer term damage.

Froch landed basically 1 decent combination on Groves and you equate that to being a good stoppage? Are you out of your mind? I don't give a **** ass if Groves was hurt or not (he clearly was) because it was the 1st time in the fight and he was still on his feet and not held up by the ropes. It was a disgusting and unfair stoppage and to claim anything other than that is just obtuse ignorant nonsense.

There isn't a single person alive who didn't think Angulo was taking too much damage - even his trainer was threatening to stop it on the next 2-3 punch combination (which was inevitable since, well, he'd shipped them all fight). Just because we didn't get an eye catching dip at the knees doesn't mean it is a worse stoppage than Froch vs Groves.

1 combination vs 65% of power shots. Think about that for a second.

Sounds fair to me...whats the issue Froch?

[ash85notts]

I thought the more neutral the officials are the better it is, no one can complain but seems Froch has a bee in his bonnet wonder why

[MDPopescu]

A neutral ref would help though...

I was fine with both stoppages. I don't need to see a man well on his way to losing beaten down into the canvas. However, Groves was a lot closer to getting KO'd than Angulo so it's natural Froch's reaction would be different.

As if they exist!

^^^^^^I agree with all this. To compare the two is ridiculous.

Side note: i hear someone use "obtuse" i immediately think of Shahshank Redemption. Ha

cue Froch trash talk: Calls Groves "a clever clogs".
American's will be all like: "WTF is a clever clogs!".
Dutch will be all like: We get it. Don't you know vat zeeze clogs are!? I just bought a new pair to go see the fight in London!".

Howard Fosters stoppage was unjust no wonder Groves is thinking this way.
