    The referees a wanker chants in the crowd.

    Froch's best shot in that round was borderline below the belt

    Very very premature stoppage there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,819 ✭✭✭liam7831


    Glad I didn't pay 21 quid for that rubbish

    also, this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,005 ✭✭✭ebbsy


    If they were going to rob Groves could they have made it look a little less obvious ?

    76-75 ??????

    DISGUSTING.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,435 ✭✭✭wandatowell


    Groves should have played it a bit more defensively in that round.

    Groves was fighting back,might have been swinging wild but he was still trying to fight back,no way should have it been stopped.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,465 ✭✭✭supersean1999


    The ref should of deducted Froch 3 points too

    Really, it was a great fight.

    Bad finish but great fight.

    Boxing the real loser here, ****ing rotten to the core. Sky and Hearn can **** themselves.

    He took 3 clean punches on the chin just before the fight was stopped and was clearly wobbled. Ref should have probably given it a little more but I am pretty sure Froch was stopping him.

    Great fight though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,664 ✭✭✭dirkmeister


    I know little about boxing but that's a sham.absolutely disgusting decision.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,625 ✭✭✭✭Johner


    Froch is possibly the most overrated fighter I've ever seen. easily outboxed. hes a ****ing joke. cunt.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,205 ✭✭✭Lucas Hood


    A great night for boxing has just turned into yet another awful one. No wonder UFC is starting to take over!

    Sure they're no better . Gsp's fight was a joke last week.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,709 ✭✭✭shrewdness


    Between that awful stoppage and those laughable scorecards, something very dodgy about the whole thing tonight. Daylight robbery.

    Ya brilliant fight but the judges and referee make it into a joke


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 108 ✭✭Compu Global Hyper Meganet


    1. The stoppage was a joke.

    2. Ref refused to take any points off Froch who was leading with the forearm more than once.

    Has to be a fix.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,465 ✭✭✭supersean1999


    76-75 is à bribery wrote all over


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭unknown13


    Disgusting night for boxing. Howard Foster was nothing short of awful throughout the fight.

    Ya thats what the lads on Sky are saying. Crazy. Personally I think groves was about to be stopped in the round, but if a man goes down he has to be given his chance to get up !!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,512 ✭✭✭✭blade1


    Absolutely no respect for Froch any more.
    Think Groves went to shake hands and Froch didn't want to know.
    Groves applauding Froch now. Fair play


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,709 ✭✭✭shrewdness


    Groves got the reception you'd expect of a champ there, speaks volumes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,740 ✭✭✭kingtiger


    I am actually in disbelief at that decision

    I agree that Froch was definitely on his way to stopping him, but not at that point.

    Worst iv ever seen


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,598 ✭✭✭rizzodun


    Robbed of a great finish, no wonder boxings governing bodies have such a bad reputation, screams of fix...


  • Registered Users Posts: 158 ✭✭podmu80


    Christ, I don't even like groves, but reading on here I'm feeling sorry for him. It sounds like he was well ahead and a judge had him up by only one???
    I guess there will be a rematch, or would froch want that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,370 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    forearms and low blows.

    dodgy ref.

    bad winner.

    a brilliantly executed heel turn from Froch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,317 ✭✭✭HigginsJ


    Robbed of potential barn storming finish. Delighted to see the 2 guys show respect at the end there.

    Bring on the re match


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 108 ✭✭Compu Global Hyper Meganet


    While it was a terrible stoppage and a lot of the activity (as regards points not being deducted) was suspicious to say the least, Froch has shown once again that he has a phenomenal chin. At the start of the 7th, I felt that Froch would win by knockout because he absorbed all Groves punches with ease. Bad way to see the fight end, but it was always going to happen. Might have survived to round 10, but Groves was gassed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,625 ✭✭✭✭Johner


    **** off Froch. Such a little prick. Can't wait till Ward sparks him . Little ****.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,132 ✭✭✭SRFC


    All these paper views are fixed lads dont pay and contribute to their pockets.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,435 ✭✭✭wandatowell


    Froch you are full of it.

    FIX.

    Everybody may pick up their brown envelopes at the designated location now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,370 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    whether it looked like Froch was going to win is irrelevant.


  • Registered Users Posts: 514 ✭✭✭DuckHook


    Howard foster has no business reffing a title fight, froch punching on the break for seven rounds and no points off. First time froch wobbled him he was in.

    Froch sounds like a moron here, got battered and the ref saved him and the sky money machine.

    1. The stoppage was a joke.

    3. Sky Sports will reap the benefits of a rematch.


  • Registered Users Posts: 121 ✭✭singlesnights


    Groves is coming across very well. It is only making Froch look even worse!


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,193 ✭✭✭✭Kerrydude1981


    Christ Froch is a muppet in all fairness to him.

    Froch is an idiot


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,435 ✭✭✭wandatowell


    **** off froch


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,625 ✭✭✭✭Johner


    Froch is possibly the biggest prick in boxing.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,193 ✭✭✭✭Kerrydude1981


    Is he still talking??


  • Registered Users Posts: 514 ✭✭✭DuckHook


    Does he actually believe the **** he is spouting.
