    For those Brits thinking of going to Herning, I have posted on the Brit forum, what I think is just about the only way of realistically doing the trip.

    Who cares? The problem will be resolved (hopefully) very quick and very soon. Move on.

    Understood. I think I was starting to think of Froch in terms of Hatton. Still, Froch is the man as far as boxing goes in England, and I don't see why he doesn't deserve popularity there similar to Hatton's. They're both good fighters and likeable guys, with the difference being that Froch remains the only unbeaten star in boxing that England can call their own. The turn out will be interesting, after they figure out where the hell it's going to take place, of course.

    But why should Froch have any say in it anyway? What if Dirrell protested Nottingham, Kessler protested Oakland, or Taylor protested Berlin? Froch simply knows he has a better chance of his fans turning out in Copenhagen, however more it turns out to be. The three guys mentioned above didn't have the luxury of protesting or picking which city they fought in on the road, why should Froch? And it's not like Kessler and his team pulled some remote venue out of their asses, it was the last place in Denmark that Kessler fougt. Perdomo didn't protest it. Then again, I guess Venezuelans weren't planning on making the trip to any city in Denmark, unlike the English. Still, I believe the Super Six is more specific to the home fighters' fights taking place in their home country as opposed to any particular cities within those countries.

    I think if any of us here had any intentions of moving on with anything in our lives, we wouldn't be dedicating our time to the internet in the first place.

    Froch won, Dirrell was falling on his feets after throwing punch and actually trying to simply run out the corners for nine rounds. Thats not boxing, its shamefull. He did look great from 9 to 12, but it was to late. Prior to that he just made the guy who boxed 3 minutes a round look bad. But guess what, so did he. Watch the fight in slow motion and count the connects and Froch wins.

    I had 116-112 for David Haye . . . . . . . .

    Because I don't like Froch does not mean I dont like other british fighters.

    On a side note I really appreciated your mentioning of Herning only being accecible via. small vinding mountain roads.

    I would love Denmark to have mountains, but in fact Denmark is aproximately 43.000 sqm km and is virtually as flat as the Netherlands :D

    Was the fight originally planned in Copenhagen and is now being moved or was it not worked out until recently?
