    Comments Thread For: George Groves Destroys Paul Smith in Two Rounds

    Wembley Arena, London - George Groves (14-0, 11KOs) stopped Paul Smith (31-3, 17KOs) in two rounds to retain the British and Commonwealth super middleweight titles. After controlling nearly the entire first round, Smith caught Groves with a hard right hand in the final ten seconds to shake him up. In the second round, Groves fired a few punches, with a right hand that caught Smith sleeping and put him down hard. Smith got up, appeared very hurt, and got dropped very quickly for the second time - as the referee waved it off.

    I didn't like the stoppage. I thought the ref should have given Smith the 8 count after the second knockdown. Great performance by Groves though..

      I didn't like the stoppage either. Either way, it looked as if Groves would have won anyway.

          Shouldn't have been allowed to continue after the first one imo. Anyone else see Frank Warren waving has hands shouting no stop to GG just before 2nd KD?

              This is a boxing and this was a title fight. The fighters should be given the benefit of the doubt. Smith looked fine protesting the stoppage so I don't think he was hurt that bad...

                Boxers are proud guys . I'm not surprised he protested but the second shot wasn't nearly as devastating as the first and he go put down straight away . His legs were gone and a Groves victory was assured.

                  Bloody Americans. You would think a fight should only be stopped when a fighters unconscious, twitching on the floor.

                    His legs was gone for minutes AFTER it was stopped. He was totally gone and didn't know WTF had hit him.

                    Good stoppage!
