    They were saying it is Artur again but surely not. For the sake of the tournament they need to make it Froch vs Johnson and Ward vs Artur.

    Those are interesting semi's leading to a lineal establishing finale.

    It was gonna be froch v abraham again but nobody wants that fight again so they've kinda fixed it. It makes a lot more sense froch v johnson next anyway

    i haven't see anything official say johnson. my mate says it said it in the sun but on primetime they were saying over and over it would be artur again.

    hopefully it is fixed and it'll be johnson. makes for much more compelling viewing.

    Hopefully they can lock in dates and venues before xmas and get these semi finals happening in late feb, early march. Gone on way too long. If all goes well, the winner could fight Bute late next year provided he doesn't come unstuck along the way.

    they didn' t fix it. if froch had only won 9 rounds against AA there would of been a rematch.

    Give me a break - they fixed it. How can you compare rounds when Abraham fought Taylor, Dirrell and Froch...and Johnson fought...Allan Green...

    ^^ What he said.

    Plus Glen Johnson was even behind on the scorecards against Allan Green! lol

    How likely is it that Froch/Johnson will be in Nottingham? Where is Johnson's 'home' ring?
