Im losing count of the amount of shocking decisions taking place. Only for people to talk a BS story in order to make it out to be a close fight.

The Scorecards were an absolute Joke. Somebody needs to start a webpage that captures the correct winner, not the paper winner.

All of a sudden im hearing people say Froch was starting to look stronger. I'm not even convinced of that. I thought Froch looked vulnerable ALL night (EVEN ON HIS WALK BACK TO THE DRESSING ROOM), ok Groves started to tire in that last round but still looked on an even footing at worst.

Boxing was winning by a huge margin, and then lost AGAIN!!

I assume you're as fed up as me because of the appalling attitude of the sky panel, led by that cretin Jim Watt.

Groves wasn't throwing back. If he's so mature beyond his years he should have took a knee.

Those cocks saw the stoppage enough times to know what could have happened if Foster had left Groves dancing around with his hands down and his head starting to drop. And they carried on after, no respect for the way Froch handled the beating he was getting, just walking through, head up throwing leather fit to fight.

Groves fought a great fight for seven and a half rounds, then he got smashed by Froch. Froch would have had him out cold given another 30 seconds.

Haye/McCrory doing their best to keep the work coming in.

Haye: 'What ref stops someone with a headlock'

A ref who wants to protect the head of a fighter out of control of his senses and still stood up.

McCrory: 'He didn't even give him the chance to go out on his shield'

fornicate me, do sky really allow someone to say that. Great boxers go out on their shield but great refs don't let boxers get mullered onto their shield.

Groves deserves a lot of credit tonight and he deserves to be gutted, but he lost to a better champion. Froch.

Defend yourself at all times.

So what about the times Froch was all over the place? The fight continued as it should have done. All people are asking for is the same thing to happen Groves has his 1st sign of trouble. No-one can predict what would have happened, but he should have been given a chance to show his metal.

Well Im afraid im not as psychic as some people on here claim to be , so i couldn't possibly predict what was about to happen in 10 or 20 seconds time :lol:,

But what i am sure of was that either Groves was about to claim an amazing victory or Froch was about to make an amazing Comeback.

Either way we were robbed, they were robbed and the only loser is Boxing :evil:

At what point was Froch in the same trouble? He got floored in the first, so he got a count and carried on. He never turned his back and he never stopped throwing back. He keeps his hands low but still had them up at his waist. Groves was in big trouble and not defending himself.

Froch was in more trouble than Groves ever was in the 1st :KO:

Groves was still defending himself, he was still throwing back and he for sure had steady enough legs when he was arguing with the ref 1 second after the stoppage .The ref was just looking for an excuse, any excuse just to step in.

Groves was still ducking and throwing back almost the entire time.

Boxing isn't the only loser

What about everyone who payed for SBO, or everyone who bought a ticket, hotel, transport?

Shambles and I thought American boxing was bad! A fight over the would never have been stopped like that.

If Foster hadn't grabbed Groves in a headlock he would have gone down but what happened after that who knows. . . . . . And we will never get the chance to find out
