I can't believe how that ended, absolute joke.  Great fight up until that point, there has to be a rematch so Groves gets a shot at some justice.

For those who didn't watch it (me included), can you expand on thr joke bit (as we don't know what the joke is)?

Froch got the win...Groves I thought was on top in the fight (and on the judges scorecards), he knocked Froch down in round 1! Then Froch started to come back into it from round 6ish? Then round 9 Froch hits a few punches, Groves didn't go down just looked a bit weary, then the cunty ref steps in and stops it! It was a pretty poor decision - here's hoping for a rematch!

It was a complete joke! I have not heard on person say otherwise! The scorecards up until the stoppage were a joke as well! I had groves about 4 up

Groves did well not to punch the ref out. Ridiculous stoppage.

I have to agree, although Froch was getting more into it and I could see him knocking Groves out in a round or two.  Either way I couldn't see it going the distance

Stoppage was early but honestly believe Froch would have knocked him out, dude has a chin like an Avenger. Shame we didn't get a satisfying conclusion but I've seen enough late stoppages do enough damage to not hate an really one.

Why is Groves regarded as chinny? He was unbeaten so clearly he's never been badly hurt.

Exactly DMR an absolute joke. They said 2/3 weeks ago they didn't want that ref for that reason alone

Kenny Anderson had him in a lot of trouble a few years ago and he's not exactly a huge puncher. Groves was very much in trouble when the fight was stopped, not really enough to stop it but he certainly wasn't enjoying life. I don't really think its Groves being chinny though, just that they were seriously brawling and Froch has the chin of a minor deity, whereas Groves has a decent but not notably ridiculous one.

There's a big difference between not being a big puncher and being chinny though. Manny Pac is a thunderous puncher but he's chinny.

Sorry, bad phrasing on my part, I meant Anderson isn't a massive puncher.

Pac used to have one hell of a chin, he's just abused it through the years. Wonder if this fight may do similar to Froch.

I can't believe some of the punches froch was taking! Groves couldn't miss in certain stages

Thanks
