George Groves is not under contract to Eddie Hearn or Matchroom. He is just promoted by them.
Carl Froch is under contract and promoted by Eddie Hearn and Matchroom
The fight was under the Matchroom banner. They financed it. Froch and Eddie Hearn have a very tight relationship
So if George Groves was not under contract to Matchroom or Eddie Hearn that meant that had he won and it was looking that way, then he would have walked away from Matchroom and Eddie Hearn with two belts and Matchroom and Hearns cash cow (Froch) facing retirement ?
A fighter under contract will be looked after more favourably than one that is not.
You have to look at the scorecards which had Groves on two of them only a point ahead. The Sky coverage also influenced the decision, talking about Groves as just an opponent rather than a legit contender with a top ten ranking across the world governing bodies.
Froch took ten clean right hands in round six, as well as getting dropped heavily in the first.
But no intervention from Foster.
This was a man (Howard Foster) who predicted a ninth round win for Froch on his facebook. As he liked a comment on his page predicting a win for Froch in the very round he ended it.

So the moment Groves gets hurt once, the only 30 seconds of the fight Froch has some success, there Foster was so quick and desparate to stop it, that he amateuretly gets Groves in a headlock.
Coincedence ?
The evidence -
1) Groves not under contact to Hearn or Matchroom
2) Froch under contact to Hearn and Matchroom
3) Froch is the crown Jewels of Matchroom
3) Refs prediction of the round he think it will end coming true
4) Under estimation of Groves all week from Sky
The UK is getting worse than Germany for boxing corruption.
Groves was never given a chance. Disgusting and appalling, It's so dodgy, £££££!!!!!
