    That is like putting it in Wales and saying it is neutral.

    Its really not.

    The problem is Sauerland will still be in charge of picking the judges and ref, chooseing which hotel to put them in and what there daily expences will be.

    switzerland is the mother of neutral. but i only hope there will be fair judges, and i'm not sure about that, but that fight won't last the distance anyway
    and it's not germany light, germans and switzerlands can't stand each other, austria is germany light;)

    Anywhere on the continent isn't neutral.

    The only neutral venue for the fight would be in the States, but it's not a big sell over there.

    Both guys feel they have been stiffed on foreign soil in their previous fight and want home advantage.

    This home advantage argument is really silly. Refs & judges are professionals, why would they jeopardise their careers to throw a result...and wouldn't it be a little obvious if it was only happening at home. Refs score the fight on what they see on the night.

    Frock needs to stop looking for excuses to wuss out. The only person to benefit from a lucky decision at home in the super six was him.

    Valuev vs Hopkins was a classic robbery.

    I had it wide the other way Especially after the knockdowns.

    This is obviously not ideal for Froch but it's far better than Germany.
