I was thinking the same thing or maybe touch his glove to the mat but @erics44 made a hell of a point in another thread. Essentially, that he was never in any danger prior to the actual stoppage so the taking of a knee or touching a glove would have not entered the air space. I'm sure that if he knew ahead of time that he was about to be a victim bad call he would have done so. Based on the evidence had he taken a knee before that moment when he was buzzed, the ref would have stopped the fight while he was landing a right hand on Carl. And the two 1 point cards

I'm of the mind that fixes happen more then we care to think but not many go this badly.
If it helps, he took a knee as soon as Foster waved it off.
It was a dirty fix, keep posting it!!!!!!

Anybody got video footage of Eddie Hearn during the 1-2 round interval? He obviously got to the judges and referee, shitting himself that Groves would walk away with Hearns main assets (Froch's belts).

Hearn is bumming up a rematch, from which he can't lose, and he's also trying to line up ward next week (as if he thinks ward is too thick to have seen both Groves destruction of Froch and Hearns corruption) on the telly.

In some respects you have to feel sorry for Carl Froch, he could well have gone on to win that fight, as he has before from behind, and he would have avoided all this controversy. It just goes to show, that cheats never prosper, and that if the proper rules had been observed we would have all had a good nights boxing.
