    So? None of those 3 judges were americans. And i bet all 3 were getting payed alot of money to make sure Froch gets a hometown decision in which that was the case happen.

    surely the judges were picked by those who created the super 6, it was hardly a robbery was is! It was a close fight, maybe two of the judges hated the running (as i do), or thought that clinching 14 times in 1 round was a joke.

    No offence mate but since you are incapable of spelling "a lot" or "paid" I'll take your hypothesis regarding the alleged bribery of judges with a pinch of salt. A large pinch. As for Froch trying to get the Kessler fight at home, I suspect he wants to give his fans the opportunity to watch a proper fight as opposed to watching Froch chasing a cry-baby with a rocket up his arse around the ring for 12 rounds. Kessler probably has as many, if not more fans in the UK than Froch does following his admirable display against Calzaghe, so there would probably be as many fans over here supporting Kessler as there would be supporting Froch. :deal

    This fight should be in Denmark as agreed upon. Also Kessler fills out a 25.000 seat arena easily in Denmark. Froch from what i've heard doesn't even come close to that.

    Kessler and Sauerland brings the Danish TV money, the German TV money, the HUGE sell-out audiences in massive stadiums and big press support.

    Froch has Nottingham.

    There was talk of 30,000 at Nottingham Forrest recently. But thanks to the hug fest Dirrell put on the other day I think interest in this tournament over here may have taken a knock.

    I'm not saying I think the fight should be in Nottingham, it should be where it makes most financial sense. All I am saying is that I don't think Hennessy wanting the fight in Nottingham is to increase the chances of a Home Town decision. All these allegations of corruption and robbery are nonsense and it's getting boring now.

    It's Hennesy spewing garbage. He said that Froch vs. Kessler in Britain would draw 30.000 fans. That won't happen and he's just saying this because he want's the fight to take place in Britain.

    How many people attende Froch Dirrel? I thought I heard somebody talk about 8.000. How on earth does Hennesy go from that figure to 8.000?

    I must admit this is a bad move by froch demanding hometown fights....I understand we have them for financial reasons but for the sake of the sport, every fight should be neutral or have the contract written up for a trilogy if the first fight is close....the format would be home-home-neutral...

    but sitting in your own yard is not good for the sport....I would expect this fight to be in denmark next to be fair to kessler, since he has to go to ward's backyard...

    Aren't we forgetting that Froch travelled to the US only 6 months ago to defend his belt?

    He probably thinks that the Dirrell fight must have been such a snoozefest for the crowd that he should repay them with a Kessler-Froch barnstormer in the next round....

    And before anybody starts, i'm not a Froch nuthugger, i think Kessler will have too much in his arsenal for Froch next time out.

    I agree with you about the corruption bit, but it is calssless to try to change the venue from Denmark to Nottingham when it has already been agreed upon.

    The venues were not agreed upon, they were pencilled initially pending negotiations

    It was agreed that Kessler should fight Froch in Denmark. Ok the specific venue was not agreed upon, but that is pretty much besides the point don't you think?
