    On the bright side it should end Sky PPV boxing for a good while.
    Don't understand this? There will be a rematch and it will be on PPV again. And MORE people will buy it next time.

    Groves gets loudly booed into the ring and is cheered wildly leaving it. It's a funny old game.:D

    Happiest man in the arena is Eddie Hearn.

    Don't really get the Froch bashing. The guy is made of granite. Took everything Groves had and was still there swinging enough to get in a position to win.

    Eddie Hearn

    "No one expected George to do what he did"

    and then the next line

    "We all knew how good George is"

    Froch is angry because everything Groves did everything he said he would do leading up to the fight!

    Except he gradually went off his gameplan as the rounds went on and got dragged into a war.

    Any fighter that puts what groves did into that fight deserved to be let lose on the canvas not on his feet. Disgraceful by the referee. If he thought he was hurt he could have gave him a standing count.

    Whatever about the terrible stoppage we shouldn't forget the scoring? Two judges only had Groves up one round. That is scandalous.

    What an absolute shít show. Ref should have given Groves more time. There will be a rematch no doubt. It will be a big purse for both fighters.

    Good to see that corruption lives on in professional sport! No wonder boxing has become a laughing stock!

    Scoring in boxing at the moment is beyond baffling. I'm a Froch fan and had him only winning 3 rounds to that point. To have Froch only a point behind despite losing a round 10-8 is disgraceful

    If Groves and his handlers have any sense, they will make Froch bide his time for a rematch. He's 36 & plodding. He'll need a walking frame when he's 38. His stated aim is to have another big money world tilt so as to put his pension in the bank and still have enough to live well. It will take him a good 6 months to recover from tonight. And another 3-4 months to build up for the money-spinner.If he gets beat, he will retire. If he wins, he'll have his work cut out to have a succesful defence against a much younger Groves.

    My 2 cents.

    I think Froch might actually believe the bollocks he spouted.

    shown up as a very average boxer, but with a chin of granite.

    The ref definitely had money on that fight, Groves is my new hero, I had respect for Froch before the fight but listening to him after the fight he's a complete disgrace, an a**hole of the highest order. There won't be a rematch as Froch will retire before that as he knows he won't win again, plus he's lost most of his fans, me included. Disgraceful.
    Doesn't it make ya angry. :mad::mad::mad:
    I'm going rapping my hands in toilet roll and the wife's big teddy is gonna get it, something has to pay :)

    Giving Froch 3 rounds is bad enough.He won 1 round. It was 7-1 Groves.

    That means you had it 77-74?? (only 1 round from what the two dodgy judges had it...)

    I did actually. F uck I forgot it though. It's rarer in UFC. Last week was a disgrace. Judges were terrible.

    Although the judges tonight were just as bad. They had it with froch just Behind by two Rounds.

    also, I don't get how some people are only now realising what type of character Froch is.

    I'd have thought it's always been quite obvious how odious he is.

    How do you mean. The guy took everything Groves had. I'm a Froch fan (no money on the fight) & Groves surprised me

    Why was Froch allowed to continue in the first if Groves wasn't in the 9th? The ref was a biased prick. Groves wasn't given a chance to take everything Froch gave.

    Froch won! He is the champ so he will dictate when and if they fight again. I know many don't like Froch but he had nothing to do with the judges and ref. He took everything groves could give and kept fighting. He won't fight Groves again! He will take those belts and get a payday! At his age can you blame him?
