    Do the fight in Denmark.

    German fans can travel easily-and british fans is about 1,5 hours away. Plenty of cheap Easy Jet or Ryan Air routes to Denmark.

    And Froch actually did gain much respect from danes on satuday night against Kessler. Though it may not have looked like it he was actually cheered by the crowd after the fight, and has stated that the treatment he got was fair and classy.

    So: 10.000 in Herning (the venue on saturday), of maybe even-dare we dream- a packed Parken Stadium where around 35.000 would be in attendance.

    No matter what-this fight needs to be in Europe!!!!

    If they want to have it at a neutral venue, Denmark would be perfect.
    If they want to make the most money, the fight has to happen in Berlin.

    I would prefer Denmark, because the fans there are very fair and british and german fans can travel there cheap. Let´s just hope that the ref and judges do their best to have a fair fight.

    If you think the British fans will travel to Denmark or the German fans will travel to Denmark, why not just have the fight in Britain or Germany and the fans from the other can travel there?

    Surprising how many people think that judges are influenced by the actual geographical location of the fight, but nobody yet has been able to explain to me how or why...

    It's all about crowd noise. Judges are way too heavily influenced by it.

    The atmosphere in the MCH arena was immense. I was sitting rear ringside with some of the Danish in suits and they were getting involved with the chants. Don't really see that in England as much, though id prefer the Abraham fight to be on home turf. And when i was watching the ring to the big screen's they had set up it was so clear that the crowd were influencing it in some way. Kessler would go to the body and everyone would be up on their feet but they were shots Froch was parrying.

    Another funny twist to the fight being in Denmark would be the ironic point that it would be held in the 70 year anniversary of the germans invading Denmark and the british coming to the rescue.

    Read in the press that they expect a lot of WW2 references leading up to this fight.

    Froch is respected in Denmark true he could attract some danish and more british fans, Abraham wouldn't bring as many arses in the seats though, and I don't know how many germans will travel, they'll probably have to bring 7-8000 from outside to fill it up in a danish venue

    The main problem is: Who'll provide judges?

    If it is Zauerland, it doesnt matter where'll this bout take place.
    Froch will be robbed.
