bdog19 16 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 He didn't really though, did he.He was always going to get tagged by Froch at least 1 or 2 times during this fight. Folks problem is as soon as he showed the merest hint of being rocked the ref jumped in and it was stopped. The referee jumped in at such a key moment it isn't obvious what was about to happen. Groves didn't appear to be as hurt as the referee must of felt he was going by how steady legged and clear headed he appeared moments later when reacting to the stoppage.Very, very few people not connected with Froch or the BBBoC are saying anything otherwise.As said before, it's not exactly an infrequent occurrence to see guys in a far more trouble than what Groves appeared to be, weather the storm, and make it further into the fight. It happens in every few boxing matches.Agreed.Froch might have been about to finish him, but Groves equally might have recovered; we just don't know and the referee robbed the fans and both fighters of a definitive ending to the fight.

KingKirk 25,665 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Karl froch has hinted on ringside that he may not fight again and if he does it is likely not to be groves.. Eddie Hern saying thats the fight he wants to make.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillete 1,338 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 He's an arrogant prick and he knows groves has his numberWatch him run the opposite direction of Stevenson, golovkin and ward and instead entice Kessler out for a 3rd fight or Stieglitz then retire Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieD 18,989 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 If he doesn't give Groves a rematch (and doesn't justify it by beating Ward) he should be mocked forever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdog19 16 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 It's funny, Froch says Groves blew his chance so he doesn't deserve a rematch, and in the next sentence Froch says he should get a rematch with Ward. And damn right Hearn wants to do the rematch, PPV numbers for Froch-Groves were supposedly around 350k. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdog19 16 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Barker vs. Sturm tonight on Sky Sports 1 from 9pm, should be a good fight. Hope Barker wins, but won't be easy, while Sturm is faded he's not shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdog19 16 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Feel sorry for Barker, but on the plus side Eddie got him a very sound deal; he got paid well to the point that he's set for life should he retire now, and if he does decide to come back then he's got a rematch clause with Sturm. Glad Burns-Crawford is in Glasgow, Ricky will need every advantage he can against this guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdog19 16 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 On a different point, if people really desire to see Mayweather lose then they should be calling for him to fight Lara. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
