"It's a shame when a ref ruins a fight! No doubt @StGeorgeGroves won that! Quality performance!!!"
English rugby union player Danny Cipriani gives his views on Carl Froch's victory over George Groves last night.
"Feel for @StGeorgeGroves controlled the fight.. robbed by an awful stoppage decision, all that hard training for a ref to jump in early."
Former Arsenal and England midfielder Paul Merson also weighs into the debate.
"Very good display from George Groves, like I said he was ahead and Carl came on strong, I disagree with stoppage! One thing certain REMATCH!"
And here is a boxing viewpoint from Tony Bellew.
Truly gutted. I played my part and from what I've seen of the footage the ref made a terrible decision.. I will demand my rematch RT
