Switzerland. It cant get much more neutral to me. Just as long they keep it in a fair distance for the fans to make the travel. Besides i think this fight will end with a stoppage anyway, so home judges dont mean anything:smoke
don't count froch out, he's a live underdog and is unorthodox to present problems. i think stylistically,the fight favors abraham.
Abraham stays in his shell a little too long, often allowing his opponent to win the 1st 7 or 8 rounds. he is supremely confident in his KO power and thinks he can always KO his opponent late. This is where the neutral ground will mean alot. If froch truly outboxes and takes the 7 or 8 rounds from abraham, then holds on & lasts the entire fight, the judges will give the decision to froch. This would never happen in germany....for example miranda destruction of abraham, although decision to abraham in germany. I'd like to make another point about froch being gracious after the close kessler fight. W/ an idiot judge scoring the fight 111-117 froch had every reason to be irate. However he humbly praised kesseler.
Have you seen that bout?! :huh He broke his jaw, bad, but got outboxed anyway... You can say it would be stopped in a lot of other countries, but the verdict was fair.
Zurich is not a neutral venue for a fight between German and English promoted fighters,this is a joke.Their official language is German for a start....This would be like Froch insisting on having it in Dublin....Switzerland is not a neutral venue for this fight.It's obviously been picked by the Krauts to convince the unknowing Americans cos of the WWII neutrality but realistically this is not neutral not even close.
fine. just make the fight. who cares where they agree to fight so long as the agreement is in place. you can split hairs about where is and where isnt truly neutral...but if both sides have agreed, then its neutral enough.
Point is Froch won't agree to Zurich and Sauerland knows this...he is just trying to convince Americans that he is serious about a neutral venue and not causing the problem.Lots of venues to choose that are neutral,SpainFrance Belguim Holland.
What destruction are you speaking of? Miranda got outboxed and outpunched by an injured and bleeding Abraham who was looking as pale as if the Vampire Lord Dracula himself drank half his blood. Abraham was there for the taking and Miranda was simply unable to finish him.
They have a few official languages, maybe like five I'm not sure, German is the most widely used though. Notorious for neutrality or not I'm not sure that any country that borders Germany can be considered neutral for this fight.
This is not neutral. Sauerland lives in Switzerland and he Hoylfield was robbed in Switzerland! Sauerland promotes the fight with his "FVA", no neutral ground there.
