Perhaps. We will never know. I had George in front, like any sane person should have. No denying he was in a stick of bother though at the time of the stoppage and entering deep waters.palooka wrote:lillywhite14 wrote:For someone getting knocked clean out in the first round he did well to get back up, smile and come back actually throwing punches before the round finished...
The crowd's displeasure was misplaced. They should have been booing the ref, he stopped it. All Froch did was get up and go on to take more big shots before getting himself back in to the fight and putting George in trouble. He didnt stop it.
Froch's interview was cringeworthy and only made the booing worse but hey ho, his interview meant eff all in regards of what actually happened in the fight. He was losing the fight, but only 8 and a bit rounds had passed. It was a 12 round fight. The only conclusion one could come to is that Groves is a better man than Carl over 8 rounds
The conclusion I came to was that Groves would have been the better man over 12 had it not been for the twitchy arsed Mr Foster.
I imagine you would have got fantastic odds on Froch beating Taylor going in to the 12th round of their fight.
The only fact we know is George bested Carl over 8 rounds. Doesn't mean shite when talking about a 12 round fight though.
I don't really have a dog in this fight as I like both fighters. I just hope that Froch makes the right call regarding his career next. He looked old. As for George? I hope he does well but still not sold. I find it a touch alarming he allowed himself to lose that from the position he was in. I think he might be a little frail. Hope not though
