Just seen the stoppage, it looks a poor decision to say the least!

I'm still annoyed about the stoppage but fair play to both fighters - that was a tremendous fight.
George boxed superbly and Froch kept going; despite often being beaten to the punch.
Would love to see a rematch.

I watched this today doing my run.
I remembered it the way that most people seem to: Groves won the first half, Froch was coming back into it from 7 and getting stronger then the bullsht stoppage.
The reality is that it was more one sided than that, Groves bossed the whole fight, Frochvjad a good fifth but Groves won big in 6 and 7 and was still winning the exchanges in 8 and 9.
It was an even worse stoppage than I remember.

Terrible stoppage, maybe Froch would have got to him late but we will never know

I really don’t think he would have.
Watching it again, Froch wasn’t coming on strong as people tend to say, he was just getting a bit less of a kicking.

It was an amazing fight. I still remember the shock of seeing Froch go down in the first round. Really pleased that they have got such a good friendship out of it.
