    Quality fight. Was Groves pissed when he got his Tattoos? What a ****ing mess. Knock him out Froch.

    Nah Groves was ****ed, admittedly it should have been left to run - but Froch was about to finish the job, no problem. Groves took about 4 or 5 hammer blows to the head.

    Froch was about to knock him out properly, he was wobbling after 4 or 5 heavy punches from Froch. The ref has to make a decision somewhere along the line, we don't want another Michael Watson. Right decision.

    Groves won that. No doubt about it. The referee was bent.

    No he didn't, he was about to get floored by Froch.

    Bollocks. Every boxer interviewed and every pundit said it was a crap decision. It was about the only time Froch put him under any pressure and the ref dived in. Absulutely stinks.

    Groves has been robbed. Stinks of a fix.

    Not sure, not many clean froch shots in there. Very scruffy.

    The only winner out of that outcome is Eddie Hearn

    Froch got time to recover and Groves should of been given.

    Groves out boxed Froch totally.

    Should have had a standing 8 count surely?

    Ha ha - That doesn't mean it's right. As earlier stated, we don't want another Michael Watson - the ref has a split second to make a decision. From the refs angle it was the right decision. Froch was off loading on Groves, plus Froch is a better finisher in the latter stages of the fight. Harsh reality, but that's life.
