    Groves deserved another 20 seconds. For real. If he didn't respond after 20 seconds, then end it. He was getting hit and was being damaged. But, he deserved 20 extra seconds- maybe a standing 8.

    I have to agree with you there.
    It was a great fight though, up untill the stoppage. The ref should have let it continue a few more seconds, to see if groves could have recovered.

    The announcers were terrible on the stream i had to watch. As fecking stupid as you can get. Froch never landed a punch by the way they were talking.

    he was hurt but not ready to go just yet.....also take note that two judges had it 115/116...they would have looked to have Froch win.

    lol miss typed the score

    Stopped in a world title fight while having not been down once, and while still throwing punches......

    Groves just ended Carl Frochs career.
    You say tomato,
    ‘n I say …… it correctly.

    That stoppage was absolute bullshit. I can't believe they did that to Groves after the performance he had put in.

    Anyone who drops Froch as heavily as that in the first round and then boxes his head off for the rest of the fight deserves the benefit of the doubt when he gets hurt.

    What a fight though, they've got to do it again.

    I have to say that Froch looked old and slow in there tonight, but as usual his unbelievable toughness got him through it somehow. I really don't fancy Froch's chances in a rematch and there's every chance he could be knocked out. That fight has probably finished him.

    Stoppage was indeed wrong. No fucking way that's even close to fight of the year. To one-sided.

    I had Froch to win by stoppage. But Groves earned the in-fight right to have a standing 8 and with that, 20 seconds to see.

    For those of you that may be wondering why I said 20 seconds- a standing 8 count, plus cleaning the gloves, would have taken about 10 to 12 seconds.

    Froch was on his way to a knockdown... from what I saw... so it still would be a 10-12 second time for Groves to gather himself if he could, and then about another 8 to 10 seconds to see if Froch had the finish and if Groves was REALLY out of it.

    Groves earned that 20 seconds. He did.

    That was a proper Man vs Boy conversation that they had at the end.

    In fact Carl even managed to boy the crowd off too.

    Better talker than I gave him credit for.

    Froch was hitting him a lot cleaner and more than I thought originally, and Groves was hurt. That was a very quick hook, though.

    It was a man vs boy fight. Not many expected Groves to be the man and Froch the boy
