That is just meaningless conjecture based on none of the available evidence. When was the last time Froch actually sparked anyone out ? Groves had Froch in all kinds of trouble for huge parts of the fight so the only reasonable supposition you could offer is that it was way more likely that a clearly unsettled and clueless Froch was on his way to being beaten, quite probably by stoppage. The reason people feel sorry for Groves is that if that had not happened and he had continued to win a virtual shut out by points the Judges would probably have jobbed him.
