froch didnt do terrible in the fight against groves

[Dropanuke]

Are we in agreement that froch was not gonna get stopped??

Groves has earnt more than just my respect and he will take over when froch had gone!!

But I just think that froch had taken everything groves had and was still coming forward with no doubt or fear but with hunger and desire to weather George and let's be fare here, carl was digging him with combos and I'm on the fence but a stoppage was gonna happen and if people think otherwise then bute should have been given the benefit and Taylor!!

Because George took some big shots in succession at the stoppage.

If you watch that whole situation look at groves taking the shots and watch his head and body language and be honest and tell me why he was running after and almost falling without tripping and at that moment is carl chasing George and if so tell me what carl would have done next if the ref wasn't there because groves in that point in time to me was only going to recieve a full hearted bombardment with no hold back.

Gotta be honest there and think what the ref was thinking and prob could see what was coming next.
Yes we don't know but we have a good idea regardless of how George looked like he can beat mayweather with one eye and a broken leg etc etc.

I think the ref has a heart and was thinking of George.

It's harsh but it has happnd.

there was just as much evidence that froch would be stopped as groves

in the same round as it was stopped, 30 seconds or so before the stoppage groves landed a big right and frochs hands dropped and his head sagged

this was the first time that froch had really landed on groves and there was no evidence to suggest that groves was even in trouble, he took two punches and then he ducked under another into the refs arms

when he came out of the headlock he knew exactly what was happening

the view that he would have been stopped anyway has no substance when it comes to assessing this fight only, if that were 2 fighters you had never heard of i dont think that would come in to play

Are you crazy ?

You think Froch was gonna steam roll Groves ? Why ? Because he did it to a past it Jermain Taylor ? That's what you base it off ? Cmon

People seem to think Froch is the Terminator

But the fact is when have you ever seen a referee in a Froch fight stand over Froch's opponent saying "7,8,9, 10...OUT'

MIKE TYSON USED TO KNOCK THEM OUT FOR THE COUNT OF THIRTY

Gerald McClellan. Nigel Benn, Julian Jackson, Edwin Valero (RIP)...the real Teminators they knock them out cold. Froch does not knock people out cold so don't fall for that Terminator image people have of Froch. Froch does that Calzaghe and Roy Jones trick of just throwing a load punches, even they are missing, just to get the ref to panic and stop it.

Fact is : Froch was on top for only 30 seconds of the fight and in that 30 seconds Groves was stopped ? Just outrageous. Groves was never gonna this fight without going thru a rough patch. This was his patch and and the ref stops it.

Bute was getting a beatdown for five rounds so you can't compare that to Froch Vs Groves. Taylor ran out of gas as this was in the last round. This is was the ninth round. So you telling me Froch is gonna be fitter and stronger than an 11 year younger, less battle scarred guy like Groves ?
