Looking back after 4 years, still a terrible decision

[@scottishviking4240]

Will never forget George proving me so wrong and then learning that in boxing, referees and judges come way before actual skill

[@Lukass078]

Imagine groves with froch’s chin

[@ulfricstormcloak4230]

Groves got robbed in this fight and it impacted him for his whole career since that point.

[@SuperMillwall]

I will never forget how shocked I was when Groves dropped Froch in that first round, he literally called the shot in the press conferences and even though everyone laughed at him he proved everyone wrong. Great fights, Groves definitely got robbed in this one though.

[@anthonyreckitt9473]

One of the worst stoppages Iv ever seen. Grove got punished for fighting through the onslaught from Froch. The replay doesn’t show clean shots landing even, this wasn’t Tyson style accuracy and power, far from it. Such a shame for Groves who did a magnificent job from start to finish AND kePt his cool with the bad decision at the end. True champion.

Groves’ movement and counter at

[@joebriggs8106]

‘Oh and he’s been nailed, right hand! George groves! Timing perfect!’ I’ll never forget watching this live

[@305Solo]

The build up, the fight…. One of my favourite fights I’ve seen in 15 years of seriously watching boxing (I discount the 10 or so years when I was a child). I’ve never seen an underdog be so confident in his ability and back up his talk emphatically. Yes, the records show he lost the fight, but we all know he gave Froch absolute hell that night and the stoppage was highly controversial

[@jamesheath7601]

One of the best Super Middleweight fights of all time

[@martinharvey3990]

This fight just shows how class Groves was... and how tough Froch is... he was gone, but somehow fought back into it. Tough as teak.

[@jimdoherty5010]

Nearly 8 years ago,will always be a classic.

[@memorywarrior8752]

Massive respect to Groves for being so respectful during the announcements.

[@shaunwest7535]

Wow, watching this back what a disgrace Howard Foster was in this fight! Multiple hits after the break from Frotch and just before the stoppage he forearmed Groves for the third or fourth time in the fight. No points off and a dreadful stoppage. What a shame!

[@baberzaman6398]

Froch had a solid chin

[@JayChambers83]

Credit to Groves. I was there that night. It lead to the greatest domestic dust up at Wembley.

[@adude9882]

I must have watched this 80 000 times and it never gets old.

[@marcusgibbs1292]

That first round from Groves was fucking incredible

[@jamiecunningham1565]
