All these fights should have been on neutral ground with only the best, most qualified referees and judges.
Funny thing is that Froch shut his big mouth after his judges gave him the decision most though Dirrell deserved (could've gone "either" way yeah, guess which way it went?) There was no contorversy in Germany and scores were fair up to the Abraham KO and other than the wide card, the right man won in Denmark as well. Abraham should not take the fight in the UK but if Froch doesn't believe Taylor got a fair treatment, they can still do it in between, Amsterdam is not that much of a distance for either fans.
Froch remembers getting a gift against Dirrell in the UK, then fighting an even fight with kessler and losing a UD. Of course he will want the fight at home.
Froch wont pull out but if the fight was agreed for the uk then thats where it should be.Abraham i probably just trying to wind Froch up a bit.
One thing that I don't understand about home advantage is that the two fighters (let's say Abraham and Froch) could easily agree about one English judge, one German judge and two other foreign referees. That would be simple and effective.
Cobra can drop out and fight the ghost at the garden for a big payday, then bute can head to berlin w/ the confidence of dominating miranda, compared to miranda shattering abraham's jaw
Why would they need an English judge and a German judge? All the Super Six fights held in Europe so far (Abraham/Taylor, Froch/Dirrell and Kessler/Froch) have all had all officials from neutral countries. Don't think Abraham has had a German judge for one of his fights since before he won the IBF middleweight title.
It's like that unwritten rule that says the champion will always get 1-2 bonus rounds ..but in the super six the bonus is bigger and given to the home boy. So can u blame any of them for not wanting to fight on enemy territory?
