Never mind groves let Rachael speak!

Stopped too soon Felt so bad for Groves He deserved a 8 count at least The ref destroyed that fight🥊🥊🥊 Fight shouldn’t have been stopped when it was and really pissed me off

100% champ. Paul's a joke.

It was genuine and it was stopped too early. Love both fighters.

There’s so many fishy decisions when Howard foster is a ref or judge.. too many for it to be a coincidence for me

Proper bad stoppage, that ref is renowned for early stoppages. In a world title fight George should have been given more time. Look at micky ward vs gatti for example or corralles vs castillo, if that ref was involved those fights would never have existed.

I love ya' Carl, but that was a bad stoppage.

Fucking clowns these twat brothers are!! It's all pantomime!! Fight Frances Ngannou next please and see what happens!! Melts.

Brick top 😂😂😂😂😂

Love Carl - Great Champion and truth teller!! Froch v Groves = bad stoppage 💯

I think both fights was stopped a little to soon, the last fight he was up like Tyson but the ref waved it off. Two bad ref decisions I think. Good fights tho

CARL - Ex Amateur boxer and ABA coach - (boxed in front of 80 fans lol) Watched entire fight again AND astonished how now the stoppage looks much better and your words about a free hit sound genuine now. I have to say back then I was guilty of getting caught up in the emotion of it all. One of my very favorite fights never liked you much back then and what a shock that knock down was - but since retirement I really like you and admire your tenacity and toughness in the ring. btw Jim Watt *superb* commentary

Got to love Carl.

This video ending suddenly was a bad stoppage but Rachel made me laugh when you say you did your back lifting her above your head and she said 'thanks' 🤣

You could see it in both your eyes how much you hated each other

2 warriors wanting a fight - pure boxing. No circus, not doing it solely for money. Miss these days!!

Who came up with the choreography? Was it Rob McCracken? That got me 😂

Omg that only feels like yesterday great build up great fights both absolute legends

How could it be a bad stoppage he didn’t know what day it was wobbling everywhere. Anyway that’s the refs responsibility

Jesus mate give it a rest you must enjoy the smell of your own turd haha

Fake Paul 👌

Not even watched yet but bad stoppage

"I did actually knock him out in the first fight, and he was on the floor, but because of the camera angle, you couldn't see it"

Mr me, myself and I… Take a breath and let Groves speak…..

Get him to fight Joshua, or Wilder!!! Fk canelo!!! Stop letting him punk people out. Chase him and make him uncomfortable and have to fight to save his rep. Y’all play into his games with letting him make gimmick fights.

I think by most boxing standards it was technically speaking an early stoppage. But that said and to be more clear, this stoppage was a well informed one by an experienced referee. The left hooks that landed had such an impact that the end was inevitable and obvious. The stoppage timing though contested because it was abrupt and absolute in a fight that had more free ebb and flow in terms of exchanges up until this point. My humble conclusion after quite a few rewarchings: an early stoppage in context of the more libre action and refereeing that preceded this ultimate moment. But, and more importantly, a clear cut wise beyond years decision considering the obvious outcome had the fight been allowed to continue for even 5 more seconds. The referee saved a soul that day. Both warriors deserve praise and in my opinion , although probably controversial, champions aren't always the person who holds the belt and for me there were two champions in this fight that day. The winner got the prize but the two got my admiration from then on. As a fan of boxing, who am I to care who is called champion when I consider myelf a fan of the art and so respect quality from both opponents. No dog in this fight so to speak. In short: technically early stoppage but absolutely and beyond any doubt the right decision that protected the opponent. If even two more seconds were allowed here we would have seen an unconscious body in that ring!

Love these fights an build up.. greatest battle 💪

Love you guys. What a team!! That includes you, Rachel and the 'hair do' George!😄And Carl, we could seriously talk about the bigger questions about this existence we call life, but we will leave them away from KZbin. Feel free to give me a shout anytime. The truth is where it's at ✌

What in the Madame Tussauds wax work is going on in this video! Sort the filter Carl!

Bad stoppage.

Jake Paul would sort froch out !

Is it true you and your brother used to fit showers before you boxed Carl?

That snout was proper Cyril Sneer bro how u pulled Rachel has to be commended, shit looks like a garden hose with three kinks in it

Even though Joe Calzaghe is the best EVER boxer Carl is not too far behind!!👍👍👊👊

Dont know why anyone doubts this was a real rivalry. There was real bad blood there, clearly. We've seen ex rivals become mates after retirement, look at Eubank and Benn, or Ali and Frazier.

i was there..

I'm heading straight back to watching that first war after watching this

This was fixed all the way

I love Froch but Groves won that fight

You can't dance either tell him girl

Just watched the highlights Froch got destroyed by Groves and it should NEVER have been stopped in Round 9 Poor George 😢

Anyone whod watched froch fight knew he got stronger as fight went on. Bad stoppage robbed froch of a clean comeback victory

Terrible stoppage , utter woke , groves wouldve held on and won that fight

Early stoppage for that hair transplant GG that’s a shockaroony!!

Calzagie would of boxed the ears off the cobra he beat real legends at both weights if he had power he would beat usyk

Pull and a push legend

"Everything for a reason" said George after the first fight. How right he was because the stoppage translated into one of the biggest and most viewed rematches in British boxing history whereas had the ref allowed Carl get the stoppage which was 100% coming imo, then the rematch may or may not have happened, certainly wouldn't have been anywhere as big, and neither fighter would have got that huge fight that unfolded. As for Carl, SMUG AS HE IS, can be very greatful to the ref that arguably stopped the fight a smidge early(George was cooked, it was over bar the extra battering he was about to receive from Carl) AND greatful to George for the work he did outside of the ring to hype the fights and create that rivalry that in turn generated the huge interest. That was 80% George, 20% Carl. What Carl needs to understand is, regardless of him acknowledging it, is that a lot of boxing fans never really gave a shhht about Carl or even heard much about him. He was just this boxer that got mentioned briefly while the big names of the sport were fighting and being promoted instead of him, and without George and the trolling and rivalry George brought which initially caught people's attention, and that refs early save to stop George being stopped, I'm pretty certain Carl retires as "That great fighter nobody really knew or cared about". That might sound harsh, but that's how I see it as a boxing fan who followed all these guys careers and lived through those eras.

The next fight that idiot is in , nobody watch it and nobody go to watch the idiot fight

Tbf to George the entire boxing fraternity thought it was stopped too soon too that's the difference here only Carl thinks it was a good stoppage lol

Definitely an early stoppage but I think the cobra would have stopped him within the next 2/3 rounds. Good job it was stopped though or we'd have never had the rematch
