Rematch surely !! ?? :o :o

Just read the report. Referees (football, boxing or any other sport) are taking a hiding just lately. It's a difficult job but there have been some outrageous decisions recently.
As for the rematch, that's up to Froch's camp. They are in the driving seat and may want a few money-earners before they risk it again.

I watched the whole fight this morning (thanks daily motion ;)) and must say I think corruption is alive and well in boxing!
From the get go Froch was in serious trouble and was put on his a55 in the first round. Then Groves quite literally went to work on him in every round. I would honestly say groves won all but one round, and he won them convincingly, but froch caught him in the 9th and groves wobbled a bit, but he was still defending himself and fighting his way out of it, his guard was still there! But inexplicably the ref jumped in and stopped it!!!
It wouldn't surprise me if the ref had bet the farm that the fight would be stopped in the 9th.
Then after the fight they read out the judges scorecards, one had put groves up by 5 or 6 rounds whereas the other two only had groves up by one round! How can there be such a huge difference?
But for any fans of the art of pugilism then this is a fight to watch, it was brutal, well, groves was!!
