Carl Froch match fixing scandal

[smashup]

Ruben Groenewald who was the opponent claims in that video that he was told that Howard Foster would stop the fight in the 5th round because Frochs people had bet loads on that round.
Who knows if it's true or not

You can't have a fix unless the bookies get shafted for fortunes. If it was true the bookies would have suspended betting and made a song and dance about it. The fact they didn't means nothing was suspicious about the volume of money being gambled and nobody made "fortunes."

Froch's comments is just him showing off, he's saying - "i'm so good I could choose the round to stop my opponent." If he told his brothers and mates and they all bet on it - great!!! But a few 50/100 quid bets isn't even gonna cause a ripple. Once again if the bookies were hit for serious dough (thousands) they would have flagged it up straight away.

I knew a few pro boxers and their mates who were always saying have a few quid on round *** or i'll stop him after round *** when asked for a bet on their fights. Can't remember one ever being right.

I remember Ruben Groenewald well, he had lots of fights in Britain, duffed up Farnell a couple of times when he was all the rage.

I am more concerned about judges big fights seem to be fixed Vagus sin city in particular.
Were large amounts of money are involved and betting don't be surprised .
Boxing still has a dirty underbelly but hell so what I still love it.

David Haye did it against Audley and got into trouble for saying his friends bet on that round.

If the ref is in on it then it becomes a bigger deal and he was the one that stopped the Groves fight prematurely.

British boxing has only two Ref's that I know of: Foster and Lewison. Something has to be a problem with that!

I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was true - dodgy decisions are made all the time and some maybe down to corruption.
Match fixing goes on in all sports tbh, everyone wants to make the extra bit of money.

Don't know if it was fixed or not. More likely incompetence from Howard Foster as per.
