so was Munroe a second before. This was a worse stoppage.

But this was worse as Munroe was hurt less.

Munroe was punching back as well. Your point?

I haven't seen the Munroe stoppage so I'm not debating it. Maybe it was worse, but that doesn't mean Groves wasn't punching back as you incorrectly believe.

Na seriously, all the best to Rendall Munroe, he has had no silver spoon or over-eager promoters willing to big him up. His efforts in Japan deserve respect and hopefully he will be back!

I'm not saying the Groves stoppage was ok. I'm comparing to the Munroe stoppage.

I know, but you mentioned that Groves wasn't throwing back at the time of the stoppage, which seems to suggest that you'd think it would be a more appropriate stoppage if he had. I just don't see why the one second makes a difference.

I'll have to catch the Munroe fight on YouTube to compare them.

Done with all this sky bollocks as well, sick of seeing four fight novices lauded as gods and talking about themselves in the third person, sick of the likes of hearn talking shite thinking us fans are stupid, sick of things like the kell brook situation - does he want it or he he happy having eliminator after eliminator? Step up, and this goes to a lot of our so called promising fighters, step up and shut it if you dont wanna, i will respect you so much if you take the chance and lose instead of being shat scared and fighting a nicuraguan knicker salesman!this year is vital for me, am thinkin of cuttin the sky sports amd the boxing news subscription and just saying bye to it all. Even the so called p4p best hand picks his opponents and is about as exciting as a documentary about the making of elastic bands - apologies for the rant lads but ive jad enough :)

Munroe was blocking most of the shots and he didn't seem too hurt, although he was clearly buzzed by a right hand before backing into the corner. He also spent far too much time in the corner (about a full minute after being rocked) and was responding very periodically to Selby's barrage. It was definitely a bad stoppage, but I think Froch-Groves was worse; Groves was in trouble for a much shorter period and he was punching back more.

irrelevant to if a stoppage was good or bad.

Not true, if a fighter is losing the fight and has shown no way of being able to get on top that has to come into it, whether he has taken enough punishment or not. Either way, both were bad stoppages
