If you count to 10 and the guy falls down again, then fine. The ref isn't the fighter, he shouldn't be in charge of the fighter's career because of how he feels.

    It's another questionable situation involving Froch. Sure, Groves was wobbled after getting up but guess what, he looked to be getting up well before a 10 count would have been administered. This fake ass crooked schit is shady man. Froch is a money fighter so they cater to him...it is what it is but it sucks. These guys are professional fighters, they take hits for a living...it's not like Groves was out cold or had been taking a beating the entire time...everyone wanted Froch to win....afterall, he just brought 80,000 to the stadium right?
    Stick to your guns, mathed.

    Although ole boy couldn't walk a crooked line even 5 minutes later.

    How much did you lose, anyways?

      I forgot about that fight. That was pretty damn satisfying as well

        Can't wait to see how Groves bounces back from this. He fought about as good as he did last time, but he fell for the feint and paid a massive price. It was even worse because his back was against the ropes. I want to see Groves vs. Stieglitz/Kessler.

            I think George Groves is shell shocked. He has that broken stare going.

              Just not good enough to topple Froch.

              Chin, jab, awkardness, heavy hands and a massive gas tank is enough for Froch to keep doing incredible things. Gotta love the Cobra.

                Wasn't a counter, it was a left hook-right hand combination, Groves just happened to throw a left hook a split second after Froch threw his right hand. An attempted counter by Groves which backfired.

                Exactly, in most cases when a guy is out cold and his body is stiff, there's no need to count. Good stoppage.

                  I just remembered why I've always loved Carl Froch.

                    Groves too small for 168? that's funny.

                      Anyway, Froch should now just retire in my opinion and avoid Golovkin.

                      Terrific K.o!
                      Why not just beat Golovkin as well?
