At work in the bar but I won't be doing much during the fight !! Froch inside 6 rounds for me.

[Delboy]

Good fight though I think a right good fighter would knock fk out Froch

[geordie1234]

bit premature ending although another few punches Groves would have been out. Re-match defo

 

Del ye need to remember froch has been in with the best

[peter2010]

This is IMO why boxing is the most corrupt sport ever I think they were waiting for froch to come back to stop it as he was never going to win it and it will be a even bigger build up to a rematch so £££££££££ but I could be wrong

[moscow master]

cracking fight groves gave a good account of himself but he was up against a guttsy strong willed guy with an iron jaw even after being floored early on and all the big booming rights froch took he still wore groves down as hes so heavy handed thats why hes the champ the same will happen in a rematch whoever am sure groves will go on to be top class

[paddymac]

Froch is a warrier and has mixed it with the best, Groves hit him with all he could and he still came back at him. Maybe the ref was a bit premature with his stoppage but I would say that Groves would have been on the canvas cold before the bell rang to end round 9.

The thing is though Froch was on the canvas round 1 Yes round 1 who knows what would have happened if the bell had not saved him? We all assume this and that yet we all know nowt. Also what about a mandatory count on towards Groves to see if he was capable of carrying on it was a title fight.

Well done to lifelong trickytree Carl Froch. See you at the City Ground at the promotion party :-)

Mandatory counts only legal when a fighter is knocked down. Groves could not defend himself and the Ref was right to stop the fight, or would we rather see another fighter ending up in a wheelchair because the ref wanted to give him "every chance" to survive. I'd rather see a re match than permanent damage to a fighters health. Jmo.

Froch has been in with the best and has the heart of a lion but he was definitely outclassed in this fight. It was stopped prematurely imo, you just have to look at the UFC fighters and how they recover during a fight when getting the crap knocked out them and then they comeback to win. Froch is a great fighter ( not boxer ) and will be toppled very soon imo.

IMO groves was going down if the ref did not step in, so good decision for me.looking forward to the rematch.
