Eduard Gutknecht rushed to hospital after defeat to George Groves

[Master]

I was thinking how much punishment he was taking and what a granite chin he had but the real damage was the last quarter of the fight.

But was it? Facially yes the damage was done from when that cut appeared but the reason he's in hospital is not because of a swollen eye or cut is it.
Nobody knows what internal damage he took into that ring

Unfortunately we put him in hospital not George Groves.

We as the people demand a show. The fight wasn't competitive after round 8 (arguably before then).

When groves was able to land his jab/right round the guard every single time it should have been stopped.

Terry O Connor has been refereeing 31 years today!
He has refereed just under 1000 bouts so he should know better

Case and point, 95% of fans (mainly casual fans) would have complained of the stoppage, yet find it unsettling when this happens.


Hope he recovers perfectly.

It wasn't the swollen eye or cut that put him in hospital but that was when he couldn't see the punches coming and when that was the point I thought it should have been stopped, I was watching it with my dad and I actually referred to Blackwell and Towell as we were watching it.

I don't think anyone who knows boxing would have complained if it was stopped in the 10th, the casual fan may have complained a little but even if it was stopped people would have said it was an entertaining scrap whilst it lasted.
