Carl Froch defeats George Grove: The best images from Froch's controversial title defence last night
Carl Froch retained his IBF and WBA world middleweight titles last night, and here you can reflect on his controversial stoppage over George Groves.
Some great shots were captured at the Phones 4u Arena, further enforcing the belief that Groves was hard-done-by.
The
25-year-old challenger was stopped by referee Howard Foster in the
ninth round, after looking in danger for the first time in the fight.
Groves was well in front on the scorecard, knocking the champion down in the first round, for only the second time in his career, before the stoppage.
Both fighters have insisted they would welcome a rematch, with the 20,000-strong Manchester crowd backing the suggestion.
