there is absolutely no way on earth that anyone can convince me that that fight should have been stopped, groves didn't actually look particularly hurt

reasons Howard Foster did what he did?

- on one hand you could just say he got it wrong, it was an intense fight and he just made the wrong decision
- on another hand you could say he saw something that everyone else didn't, being very close to the action
- and on another you could say that the matchroom cash-cow was losing and should have been well behind on the scorecards, and so foster acted to for financial reasons on behalf of the promotion
Completely agree. He was throwing punches 5 seconds before it was stopped, Froch was missing a lot and was just as fucked as Groves.
Whatever the reasons, it was a piss take.
