Dont get me wrong i wanted Groves to win so i may come across as bitter but why did the ring have to be small and from what Haye said extra soft to me that could only benefit one fighter who was looking to make sure the other couldn't box and move all night especially if he had issues with stamina. The other thing just read on the bbc that Froch was ahead on the score cards the fight i was watching had Groves blocking alot of what was coming at him and countering and the stats seem to back that up...
Froch thrown 349 landed 96 percentage 28 Groves thrown 314 landed 126 percentage 40. Now i totally appreciate it ended with a KO and what a punch but why the ring and what where the judges watching? biggest fight in the UK for years and Hearns couldn't just let it happen he had to stack it in Froch favour.
Just me?

Jim watt is prat I never listen to his scorecards even if he has a fighter I root for ahead, he makes his mind up after the 1st rd and basis his commentary for the rest of the fight on that

Like I said your statistics don't mean $ hit you may believe them so you can back up your argument, but it ain't true.

Yh and your opinions are just as invalid as mine then, again I think you have a reading difficulty today, I said I'm come across different people who have their own opinions on the fight last night and more people that I know and have see. had froch winning, doesn't mean it was right or wrong
Do you understand that now

Yes, and my opinion is still the same.
60% of the people I know voted Labour in the last elections, that must mean the election was rigged

Maybe politics are more corrupt than boxing didn't you know

Clean hard punches are not the only things that score points in fights, and in this fight Froch scored with lots of clean hard body shots in the early rounds. As well as clean hard jabs.
Not that it matters, because Froch had that special something that makes champions. We knew(well, most of us) that Froch wasn't likely to get starched the way Groves was, because he has been in massive fights again and again and has come through them. Anyone thinking Groves was going to come in and do what many world class fighters had failed to do, was a fool.
It does't matter who was up on the score cards at all, as Froch finished it decisively.

I had froch up by 1 at time of the knock out. As pointed out by a few it was very close overall, but imo Froch was doing more damage. In the whole fight Groves caught him once, froch on the other hand had done it 2/3 times plus the ko

Can you point out to me the 2/3 ocasions when Froch caught Groves, and the one time Groves caught Froch.
Rounds and times if you don't mind.

This wasn't an amateur scrap and there is other criteria to take into account when scoring a fight.
It was very close fight. Then, BOOM... it was over.

D4 - Groves was once in the 7th, nice left hook staggered Froch at the start
Froch had a nice little flurry in the 3rd about a minute in, same again in the 5th. He then had a few more in which in clearly wins the little flurry battles as well with a few nice body shot flurries
