froch didnt do terrible in the fight against groves

[Dropanuke]

So groves should have taken the 8 count making the scores closer and froch no doubt was landing more from round 7 and likely would have finished stronger and by winning the last few rounds it would have been a draw or split decision!!

So either way it's bollox but he got stopped and when hurt didn't free back like froch did.
Froch just kept coming and that's the difference here.

You are talking like a complete fanboy who doesn't want to face up to the fact that Groves had the beating of Froch. Groves humiliated your man and you, like Carl, can't admit it. Now you are backtracking and suggesting that if Groves was not about to be stopped that Froch would have obviously won the last few rounds. You are deluded. It is just as likely that Groves could have caught him flush and sparked him out. Points wise for any neutral Froch had a mountain to climb. The judges apparently were not watching with an open mind.

the main problem with the stoppage is that this is the sport they signed up for. they are going to get hit and get rocked sometimes. especially at this level, you have to let the fighter fight through the rough spots. groves was definitely hurt but he was still throwing punches. maybe he would have fallen but he could have gotten up and finished the round. who knows? if you are going to stop fights that quickly, boxing would soon become a dead sport. so many exciting fights throughout the years have been made by a fighter being badly hurt but coming back. in this fight, groves never got his chance.

why should groves have taken an 8 count?

no froch wasnt no doubt landing more from round 7

in reality george won 6 of the first 8 plus the knockdown and froch would have needed a KO or a couple of Knockdowns

i dont think there was any corruption involved in the refs decision to stop the fight, just a bad decision, the score cards are very dubious though
