Up to that point Groves hadn't taken an absolute massive punch on the chin... which in an Khan fight means it's not over yet

Groves can easily do the Eddie Murphy routine about his ego.

Steedie · 31 May 2014 at 22:41

He'll blame the ref again, you know he will the massive ****

Robbo · 31 May 2014 at 22:42

Hahaha, what a shot! Bang.

clinical finish.....

kaotikuk · 31 May 2014 at 22:43

He cant moan about that stoppage lol, destroyed him

Pigeon_Killer · 31 May 2014 at 22:43

That's up there with his best finishes ever.

Nah, he just got absolutely demolished by a better boxer, he went over for the hug, he knows he can't talk **** now, he's been shown up after gagging for the rematch and the unfair stoppage last time.

in the corner with oxygen, yikes - that was a nice KO.

Ring magazine had it 3-1 to Groves at that point (4 rounds), so Khan wasn't alone - they were tight rounds up to that point. I had it 2-1 to Froch (one shared round)

Very cagey/messy until the 7th, then out of nowhere that rocket KO punch in the 8th!

Steedie · 31 May 2014 at 22:53

Ahead on the score cards? Haha that punch must have done some damage to him if he thinks that

HBO and Ring magazine both had Groves ahead. I don't agree with them, but it wasn't cut and dried either way

(And maybe he's seen the official score cards - perhaps he really was ahead?)

Looked fairly close and looked like groves was clawing his way back into the fight. Thought it would go 12 rounds there but Froch caught him so well.

dannyjo22 · 31 May 2014 at 22:59

If the ref had let the last one go on it would have ended like that too. I was nervous tbh as I wanted Groves shut the **** up so badly I was scared to jinx/pigeon it

Awesome way to shut him up for good.

If they'd have counted the 8th I had froch up by one, as groves had taken the 2 rounds towards the end. Didn't have him ahead when they spoke to Kahn though.

It was pretty even, but froch was ahead imo, either way boom!

smr · 31 May 2014 at 23:02

Head shot BOOM!!!!!!!
