Hasn't SOG (Son of Goober) had enough home cooking in this tournament? Does the guy even know what the weather is like outside of California? If I'm Froch, there is no way in hell I am agreeing to having the fight in California. Have it at Dallas Stadium, Vegas, Atlantic City, or MSG. Those are the four places that should be in the running to hold the fight--not Ward's backyard yet again. I will be livid if Froch's people aren't adamant about having it outside of Cali. Since the tournament began, Froch has fought ONE fight at home. One fight out of FIVE fights. Since the tournament began for Ward, he's had THREE fights in his backyard, and the other fight was still in California. Talk about discrepancy.
Forget it ward is a lock. This has been fixed no way Froch wins it Ward will simply do this: Hold back, duck > jump in headbutt + punch > grab > rabbit punch > wait for the break > repeat. And the showtime commentary team will rave about his 'dominance' and the scores will be amazingly wide and Froch will lose and the Yanks will all have a massive orgy over their great 'new' champion.
FROCH should waste no energy on where it happens. It will most likely be in Vegas. FROCH should focus on getting prepared to fight his best fight. He has to assume he is down on scorecards before he even enters the ring. He has to fight like he is starting with an "f" and work his way to an "a". I fully expect FROCH to be on point because unlike ward he has faced this before and has the experience to go into hostile territory and win. Just expect the American hate to pour out after he beats ward. They will do everything to discredit FROCH after this win.
Yeah but do you really think Froch has a chance wherever it's held after last nights performance? He was god damn awful, Ward would beat him anywhere, the guy has no skill whatsoever
I agree that this fight should not be in the USA. Montreal would be a great venue. I'm sure wards people will be pulling for oakland or the staples center. ward has had the most protected route of ANY fighter in the tournament. total BS.
