    €450 on George Groves @ 350

    I know its dangerous to bet against Carl Froch because of his awkward style and power. However George Groves is a very talented skilled upcoming fighter. There is allot of value here IMO

    Good luck. I'm on Groves, but if he can mix up angles and movement, he has a good chance.
    IMO, I think the smaller ring size and Froch's tenacity will get to him

    I have a Foch/Pacman parlay @ -166. However, I understand why you played Groves @ +350. Indeed there is value there. Froch is NOT a lock by any stretch of the imagination. It will e interesting to see how Froch deals with the speed of Groves. The ref. has a rep. for quick stoppages & the ring size helps Froch as well. I simply can not wait for this fight!

    I have Groves by decision, and I thought it was great in R3, now not so much.

    I just played Froch decision and Groves live. Froch decision is hovering around +1000, which is way off.

    I doubt Froch will win a decision. However he has the power to stop him.

    They really do need to get rid of Jim Watt. He has poor eye sight & is just an old doddering fool.

    Good bet. Unfortunate ending, I disagreed with the stoppage and you were pretty clearly on the right side, in my opinion. Mark it down as variance.

    Froch is f+cking WARRIOR! Fight of the year! I was sweating bullets for a minute there. But in the end Froch came through!

    Did you hear those scorecards? Groves was only up by one point. I'm incredibly unsurprised.

    Referee and the judges were corrupt.

    Referee should haven given it a standing 8 count.

    Judges, maybe. I think the ref made a bad call, but I'm not sure if he was corrupt. It is boxing, so who knows, though. I always expect shit like this in boxing, a guy like Froch should never be +1000 to win by decision.

    ridiculous stoppage. If you stop that then you should stop it when Froch was down on his ass in 1st round! Groves was absolutely right about Froch's tough man rep getting him the benefit of the doubt. Groves was awesome

    I had groves up by 4 points going into the 9th Round and that stoppage was way too early - Froch def had the momentum at that point, and had it continued then he may well have ended up winning anyway shortly after, but to just stop the fight at that point when Groves hadn't really taken that many big punches was just wrong.

    Shocking stoppage froch is lucky to get out of Manchester with the belts has to be a rematch on the cards witch is painful cause i cant help but feel the promoters had it planned all along more money in a lot of pockets

    The fight wasn't stopped when Froch got KO'd in round one:



    But it was stopped when Groves was punching Froch back after being rocked:

    my book still hasn't settled my bet on Groves to win had £500 on it not sure whats going on to be honest say there still waiting on conformation around 5 hours after the fight wouldn't mind a refund for both the PPV and my bet after that horrible stoppage

    Thank you. I've been at this gambling game for years. I look at every little detail to give myself an edge. I have been successful for almost 2 decades now. I assure you it is not luck. If people would have done their homework then they would have known about Groves speed, the ref's reputation for early stoppages, & the smaller ring size. Take care & bye for now.
