    Then you're a god awful judge of boxing. Jermain was pretty much dominated from round four on.

    Oh well, at least we've established a pattern of behaviour and that your view of last nights fight isn't a one off abberation....

    This is accurate. Taylor looked like he had regressed to his middle school days in this fight, as he feebly flailed away at Abraham's elbows and gloves.

    Hitting elbows wins a round over throwing 2 punches a round in the last 30 seconds

    Froch should have the choice as per the agreement made at the start of the Super 6. So AA should fight in Nottingham or withdraw from the Tourney.

    Simple really.

    So AA has to knock Froch out to get the win because he will not win a decision in corrupt nottingham. If AA turns up his game and gets busier in the beginning rounds we might se a good fight.

    not so simple

    Froch has a deal with sho not AA

    AA fought his last fight away as well.

    As for purse AA brings in larger crowd and free to air coverage all over germany, UK tv stations dont care about Karl as we all know

    Theres not really one respect in why nottingham is better except for Karl living there!

    There is still a way for AA not to make it to the semi-finals, anything can happen in this tournament.

    example: Ward beats green in this round
    next round Dirrell beats Ward,Froch beats abraham,kessler beats green that leaves Ward,Dirrell,Froch,Kessler in semis with AA out of it

    Exactly.

    In a perfect world the fight would be on neutral ground, but financially speaking it can only happen in the UK, or Germany, considering nobody knows who the **** either guy is outside of Europe.

    I think poor Frochy might have to bend, or pull out, cause I think its gonna go to Germany.

    Of course he won't. He is afraid he is going to get his ass kicked again like he did against Dirrell. Abraham is buddies with Sven Ottke. AA is perfectly willing to go that route.

    Sure, if they wanna abandon all profit-motive. It doesn't make dollars or sense to have this anywhere but Europe. The two broads need to quit bickering and complaining and get in the ring together. It's not as if Dirrell didn't wind up on the wrong end of a decision when he fought Croch over there in Nottingham. **** happens in boxing, probably the most universally corrupt sport in the world. You take your licks, deal with it, and move on. Just cuz you're in a ring fightin' over purses and belts is no excuse to act like a skirt.

    I've heard and read that when Sauerland/Showtime set the tournament up, fighters were told they would fight one on the road, and then one at home. The exception was Ward who supposedly has an insurmountable fear of flying.

    Froch and Abraham both fought their last fights on the road. If what I heard was true, both have the right to fight at home in their next match. It seems to me like there may be a problem that goes back to the way the tournament was originally set up.

    I thought this was all worked out in advance? Froch had a belt so probably got the concession going in. After all, it was he or Kessler that was supposed to take Froch's belt. Saurland was getting two cracks at it.
