my card is also on the site along with the 46 press scores and a press average score

for 2 judges to have this 4-4 in rounds is wrong

comments welcome

The scorecards were kind to Carl Froch before he stopped George Groves | Latest | Boxing News


I'm still angry about this, you can, at least, forgive the referee for an error of judgement in a split second decision, if it was in fact an error of judgement and not blatant fixing.

With respect to the two judges who had Froch only one point behind the mind boggles. Groves was two points up going into the second round, and by the end of the eighth Froch was one point behind, that means Froch won 4 of the 7 rounds from 2 to 8. I would be astonished if anyone could find a judge who could find 4 of those rounds for Froch. This is just fixing, pure and simple.

On Sky the BBBoc rep was only questioned about the stoppage, which he answered with all the usual safety bollox. The questionable stoppage, together with, more significantly, the ridiculous scores recorded by two of the judges, should be investigated fully. There is a fearful stink about this whole fight, meanwhile Hearn bigs it up as an opportunity for a big money rematch - in your dreams - your punters aren't as thick as you think!

Groves should tell Hearn to shove it, get back with Adam Booth and sign with Golden Boy or another US promoter.
