    Out of all the places in the states to put it, Detroit is an awful choice.

    ffs.....That Dome was more like a local sports centre. It hardly had a big fight feel to it the other night. **** place to have it.......

    I remember Dirrell's fight against Abraham if you see highlights on fight camp 360 you can see empty seats in parts of the arena they fought in. It makes more sense to have this in Florida or Las Vegas.

    I know it has to be in the US but neither of them can draw flies there. At least Froch has a good following here.

    This sounds like a joke. Detroit hardly showed itself as a fight fanbase at the weekend

    They thought the ideal place for a Jamacian to fight an englishman is detroit because they will bring boxing to the masses again lol
